Edge tiles

[ag1975]

I shouldv'e mentioned...it's a brick pattern. We started on the longest wall, with a full tile top row/half tile 2nd row down and finished with 70mm tile top row and half tile 2nd row. We finished the top row with 75mm tile as it'll be inside the shower cubicle.

The wall we have the tapering tiles on is next to this wall. As we started with a full tile on the first wall, we decided to start full tile again on the 2nd wall.

Does that make sense? 😀

Unfortunately it's the setting out that can make or break any tiling project for DIY or otherwise.
And since you also added in post 1 - 'it doesn't look great' - I wonder why your asking after the horse has bolted!
Sorry if I sound negative but it's just another case of the 30 minute makeover.

You do sound negative 🙂

It's our first go at tiling and the person we're doing it for said the way we've done is it ok with her so we're not too worried. Thing is, we're (me in particular) have just started out in property renovation and looking to become multi-skilled and do as many jobs as we can ourselves, so we're very much beginners. Next job I'm doing is my parents bathroom and thanks to this forum I've got more idea about what I'm doing already.

Just saying! 🙂

Good luck with your next project but your best to ask questions first before you start prepping and tiling

If you are operating in property development and charging for it you should really know what your doing, we are after all talking about skilled trades.

20mm seems a bit much to me are the tiles level & plumb

As all above setting out is a crucial part of any tile installation, never fix your first tile, until you know where your last tile will go.

You need to add that to your signature Phil, it's a great saying.

I see your still quoting that old phrase I taught you!

I still use the one you initiated many years ago on completion of yet another masterpiece - 'Another monument to man's dexterity in the face of adversity'.

I can see a separate thread starting.
