I changed my mind during the early hours (yes its that bad) and have called another tiler in. I just don't have the time to do a good job myself.
Another recommended tiler and has been tling since 1972 so should know what he's doing. Can't find much on the net in terms of reviews but he is advertising on several trader websites as a specialist in ceramic tiling - Obviously i will approach with ultra caution and remain onsite throughout.
He will be round at 0900 and if i'm happy can start straight away.
