Hay guy i've been tiling for about 6 months, i know thats not long but i've tried hard to learn as much as i can and do a job with out cutting corners. Right now i'm doing round a bath, first of all i stripped all the paint back then i tanked it with Ardex wpc, that took a day, on my second day (thats today) ive tiled 2 walls round and i'll finnish off tomorrow, but buy the time i've waited for adhisive to dry thats another 2 hours till i can grout so it's going to take 3 days in total, it's taken a little longer than i thought because it's in slate and i've never used it before.
Is that normal? A'm i doing anything wrong?
I ask because i've spoken with a lady who said she had hers done in about 5 hours and he didn't even strip the paint off and that was 8 years ago and it's still fine.

I remember it taking me all day to tile 7sq yards in a utility room floor when i started. The guy i served my apprenticeship with told me if it wasn't right i wasn't getting paid. ha ha. So it did take all day but i got paid for it. Nowadays i would have that area done before 10.00am. Quality comes first, the speed will come eventually.
