How practical is this

Well the lack of a general waste and of course no fall either outside the shower i would be worried.
The water will stand and eventually over time make its way thru the grout.

tubbed addy is safe up to a 10 mm trowel, but leaves u without the option to pack out if required

also if used in the shower recess it needs to be a D2 formulation otherwise the water will dissolve it lmao

With large format tiles and with 4 day old plaster skim I would have thought it would struggle to set in the middle. Not ideal............
 
It will set but you should allow up to 2 weeks depending on the weather .

I've pulled up 600x600's that have been down with tubbed stuff for 8 months - I could have done a couple of splash backs with what I scraped off the middle!

Tore off smaller tiles than that and found the addy still soft
 
A friend of mine has a wet room with no shower door / screen and it's a pain. They have a squeegee mop type thing to mop up after every shower. Also, if someone's had a shower and you go in to use the toilet...wet socks everytime :incazzato:
 
Maybe the screen hadn't arrived and will be fitted later.
Lovely looking job at the end but I wouldn't have done a few things like plaster board shelves and plastic plumbing pipes.
The UFH and floor prep seems wrong to me too but I haven't layed one yet so am not in a position to comment.
Got one coming up soon though and I shall be picking your brains so I get the job done right guys.
 
Its a fantastic finish so well done on the design / layout.

My only concern is this plasterboard by the bath.

I hope the installer sealed the plaster prior to tiling over it. The bath is likely to contract and expand as water is added / removed letting water into the joints.

Unless there was an absolute perfect 100% seal then the plasterboard is going to be a bit soggy. But perhaps he did something to waterproof it prior to tiling.

Must say its a lovely job !

A tiny website nitpick is that as a business they are legally obliged to state their physical business address on the website rather than just a contact form and a free phone number. This is a requirement of the Companies Act 2007. However its not widely known.

my concerns were all the cut tiles lying about on the bath(balancing onto the bath) and also cut tiles left standing ontop of the new worktops that arent covered over.
