Hi guys
Sorry I didn't post the pics last night, we ended up shopping most of the day for "pretties" :hurray: also picking up a new dishwasher and putting that in, so didn't get time to grout.
Bare in mind this is out first tiling job so won't be up to your standards rrr: but we're really pleased with how it turned out, we hated grouting though, too messy
Couldn't have done it without all your help, especially Dean
Anyway ... pics!!
Before, what a mess ... brown worktops, grey speckled tiles that were upside down, lino floor that was lifting up everywhere, old sink with leaky taps lol.

After, New black slate style worktops, cream brick tiles with mosaic border, biege ceramic floor tiles and a shiny new sink with mixer tap unk: and a unexpected dishwasher due to leakage

Thanks again guys, really appreciated

 

[flowerpot]

I really hope my mom and dad will be happy They are worth all the hard work.

 

[Diamond Pool Finishers]

good job there FP you should be proud of yourself mate,and DEANO is a TOP MAN to :8:drinks all round

 

[doug boardley]

thanks FP, they look great, parents will be over the moon I'm sure, and thanks to Dean for guiding you through the dark times

 

[DHTiling]

Looking good and thanks for the pics.

 

[flowerpot]

Thanks very much, just a quick question though, I am worried that the grout will quickly get dirty by the hob, is the anything I can do to help this? I don't think I want to cover the tiles with a splash back :rolleyes4:

 

[DHTiling]

This is what you can use

LTP Grout & Tile Protector






Tile giant should be able to get it for you or order on line direct from LTP.


LTP Online

 

[flowerpot]

Thank you Dave, how often would this need to be applied?

 

[DHTiling]

Depends on your cleaning regime.. it will have all the info on the tin..

 

[flowerpot]

Is there a cheaper alternative to this? Would have to be colourless though because of the ivory grout would also need some for the floor.

 

[DHTiling]

£17 a tin.. how cheap you want..:lol:

 

[flowerpot]

I think it's expensive :yes:

 

[doug boardley]

here's another brand, and just compare the price! plus LTP is far superior
Seal Guard Grout & Tile Aerosol Sealer & Impregnator on eBay (end time 03-Jun-10 16:15:13 BST)

 

[flowerpot]

Wow, OK thanks, I will have to get some asap, I think the grout on he walls is sanded so it will stain quicker?

 

[Scott]

Top job!

By the way £17 is cheap when you see how much trouble it is to regrout

 

[Sean Page]

very nice work flowerpot, and the LTP stuff is worth the money, its easy to apply and does exactly what it says on the tin
