how do i baton on tanked walls

[Polishtradesman]

I am wondering if profesisonals tiling teachers in craft collage in UK advice to do that??

What happens when you are fitting a bath into a corner and the corner is not at 90 degrees. If it runs out by 10mm do you just fill the gap with silicon?

Corner needs to be 90 degrees otherways it is impossible to fit bath correctly.

Tbh we've always been taught to fit bath first mainly due to walls being out of sync. Sometimes you even find yourself putting part of the bath into the wall!

Probably a uk thing and were not disputing how it's done elsewhere or how reliable either method is.

out in germany (and probably everywhere ) builders use ;large squares to layout walls etc. in th euk and ireland we just guese. iv seen 4 foot wals be out by 2". there is a garage (builder built it himself)locally that is 12" narrower on one end than the other and its only 20 foot long. in an ideal world you could do things like fit a bath after the tiles but not in most houses iv worked in

Chop a bit out of the wall.....

I have been tought that walls and floors before tiling should be prepared

Thats what I was meaning when I said if the wall runs out. Once its tiled you cant chop into the tile, so therefore it stands to reason to fit bath first and tile around afterwards. You can lose 10mm with the tile and adhesive if the wall isn't square, and not that many are.

Sometimes there not prepared and they won't pay for it either....

Correct :mad2:

And that is he point, it is here like that becosue walls are really difficouldt to make them right angle and if someone does not want to pay for it, tilers are not going to do it for free. Maybe bath manufacturers should start make bath with diffrent angles hehe Anyway reality is brutal and i can understeand your point of view if walls are not really 90 degrees. However I do not understeand this way when walls got squere angle.

How its done in OZ http://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=aus standards on waterproofing&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CEEQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.showerrepairsplus.com.au%2FShower-repairs-plus-Waterproofing-Standard.pdf&ei=XABXT_bmGeyTiQe4jqmgDQ&usg=AFQjCNGvovWzoLgBCEkwcrjB6wUQRVyQZw

Couldnt get that page Jay but over here the bath is always in first. Some designs demand bringing the substrate down over a rising detail. It gets siliconed and then waterproffed over that. The only time a bath is put in after tiling is when its either free standing or the cradle supports the bath around all four sides.

Thats what the link showed seems to be a problem with posting links on here

That one works

 

[bobbynz]

Yep, thats the way. Now we just need to educate the chippies to do it properly. Usually ok, most times. Some just dont have a clue though.

Tile wall
Fit bath
Book return appointment in 6 months to remove all water damaged areas due to seal failing.

Well in my 7 years here and my bosses 16 years here, never been bitten on the bum with that. But then again, when we build a wet room, it is just that, a wet room, entire floor mechanical membraned which also goes 15 cm up the wall with 4cm of screed on top of that with heating cables in the middle of it, all walls covered in wedi or similar, all joints membrane stripped, from what I gather an English wetroom is what we'd call a few wet spot areas in a room if just the wet areas are membraned, so even if our Silicon along the bath did fail, it pretty much wouldn't matter a jot. Don't get me wrong, it's over the top here, but I just play by the rules and it puts food on my table so I just get on with it, I still don't see a problem with fitting a bath and overlapping the rim with tiles, but it's just not done like that here, madness.
My baton holes get membraned or siliconed.
