Can you tell where I cheated?

[Chalker]

Not the best tiling or bathroom I have ever done, rushed setting out so did a little cheat!

any guesses?

 

[Brian the Tile]

window wall not centered

 

[Chalker]

window wall not centered

apart from that! ( customer wanted a full tile centred with the bath tap!!! )

Keep guessing.

 

[prceramics]

full tile at top ?

 

[Dougs Third Go]

window head packed down to take full tile above it

 

[Tony73]

other side of window, tiles are shorter?

 

[Tony73]

mirror, radio...

 

[Dougs Third Go]

it looks a thin cut above the bath

 

[Dougs Third Go]

did the "little cheat" involve a wet cutter on 3 tiles?

 

[Chalker]

It involved a wet cutter on a whole row!

Must have been in a dream world when I set out, it is 2440mm high and the tiles are 297mm.I marked up a stick to check the room, knowing I worked out for a cut tile at ceiling and floor level.

but.
didnt check the top of the window! When I got to this I was 20mm to high. Didnt fancy a 20mm cut over the window so I cut the second row down to suit the window top. 20mm of the whole row.
Pwhat a plonker! Don't think you can tell?:sofahide:

 

[Tony73]

[radim]

I did the exact same thing last week! Although mine was about 40mm too high!?! No idea what I was thinking!?! Luckily I started on the window wall, so found out fairly quickly.. Had to pull the lot off the wall, and start again. Doh!

I can't stand tiling around windows so i normally start on them to get them out the way............ Have also done what you did a couple of times mate, i was able to smash away enough of the reveal in my case though.

Bloody amateurs. ...:sofahide:...lol

Bloody amateurs. ...:sofahide:...lol

Not my fault they built the window 10mm to low!! i'm innocent of all blame at all times lol :ciappa:

 

[afright]

That's when experience comes into play to get out of a sticky situation,Ive had a few of them moments no doubt we all have.

 

[Andy Allen]

I would have knocked out a row of bricks. Moved the lintel and fitted a new window....:8:

 

[jimthetiler]

Why don't you like the window wall Toby? Yes, they can pose a challenge at times but this IMO is the one area of a bathroom that makes the job, I always pay particular attention to the plane of the tiles as well as the levels so there is a lot to keep an eye on here eh

 

[Mr Tiler]

nice to see a bit of honesty on the site think its a first tbh lol... and also nice to see people are not trying to run you down due to human error looks a lovely job mate keep up the bad work

Don't know really mate, i just don't enjoy them, i do like the end result though. They always look lovely when i'm done. It's probably because i do pay so much attention to them and getting my trims mitred to perfection that i just want them to be done so i can then have a look and relax on the rest of the job.
