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.

Well, I must admit it was a kitchen I did with Unibond/pre primed. job completed over a year ago. 4mm ceramic tiles on plaster.

I was back at the same house to paint staircase recently and checked it and it was Rock Solid and this place a had uneven walls. So tubbed can't be all that bad with good prep and setting.

The tiles in the picture were solid when I taped them and there was no cracks in the grout and the walls in the shower were not wet at all. The house was built 15 years ago so I am sorry m8 but your statement means nothing to me.

What adhesive, how old, what prep went into that job and who 'installed' it.

That makes a whole lot of difference to any statement.
You can give a man the best paint in the world and still get a bad job.

Dispersion adhesive. 15 years old do not know the fixer or the prep but the point is it was a quality finish with sub standard materials.
(THE FINISH IS ONLY HALF THE JOB)

I use cement based addy for all jobs, Mainly because after reading information on this forum I don't want to take any chances and I feel more confident and comfortable using cement based.

I still think Sean's work is fantastic so keep it up mate

It does concern me when I read a tub of Unibond adhesive in B&Q the other day and it clearly stated to prime with PVA :yikes:

im not knocking his work at all just the mats.

Sorry I wasn't saying anyone is knocking his work. I understand and agree with the point everyone is making about the use of dispersion adhesive.
