70m2 bathroom!!

[Sean fsy]

on of the largest bathrooms ive tackled, after a fire at the farm it had to be totally refurbed, unfortunately some one lost their lives in the fire. when the customers bought their bathroom tiles etc they asked the place for the name of a tiler who the they recommend, also the company in charge of the full resto project, and they also asked the joiner who done kitchen etc aswell. all 3 companies are based about 30 miles apart. Yes they all gave the one same number , MINE. so i undertook the work. bathroom was very large just short of 70m2 and the kitchen behind the propper aga cooker needed tiled aswell, just a mere 7m2.

Tubbed adhesive is not the right choice for 400x250 tiles, its not the right choice for bathrooms or wet areas. As for you finding it a "pain in the bum" mixing cement based adhesive I cant understand that at all, it takes a few minutes and your using a far superior fixing method. When you say you don't exceed 3mm with dispersion adhesives, this picture looks more like 8mm and its not the correct way to fix tiles.

I also insist on using the adhesive I know and trust, if they want cheaper stuff then I am not fixing them, simple.

What would you prefer, someone paying good money to get a decent start or Mr Diy man who goes into B&Q and buys a trowel and calls himself a tiler ?

Sadly the days of learning the trade through other tilers are almost over and this is the way forward.
