Shower area nearly done. I didn't mix enough adhesive to finish it :(. As it's BAL mosaic (expensive) I'll be preparing some other areas so I can move onto those after I finish, to keep the waste down.

Neale's idea of interlocking the panels works a treat.

The corner trim is from CTD at £3.95 plus vat a length, in Silver (Aluminium)

Tip for the driver.................if you use a mosaic tile and grout powdered adhesive you have no need to worry about the squeeze through messing you about you just wipe it off with a damp sponge. :thumbsup:

Thanks Tony, Can you get different coloured misaic tile and grouts?

Hi mate,
a better quality image would show it off more, looking good.
Just a pointer, not sure how most people on this site fix their mosaics ?
However, it looks as if you have started at the bottom and worked upwards ? ( looking at un-finished wall )
If so it is generally easier with mosaics to start at the top and work down, the tiles fall down into position a lot easier this way :yes:

Topps in Plymouth quoted me £24.46 inc and CTD matched that. CTD aren't always cheap as chips, even with the 30% discount.

Cornish i've got a part bag of mosaic fix if you need it? I don't use CTD much, i usually find they are more pricey but apparently the more you use them the more discount you get. I pop in and say hi to Will every now and again and put my cards in though.

I'm getting 30% at the moment before they price match.

I did get more for some grout and GT1 recently. The grout was a special order from BAL so I managed to negotiate a better deal on it, as they were not having to stock it.

I may take you up on the Mosaic fix mate, thanks for the offer. I can come to Saltash no problem.
