Is creating a wetroom a tilers or plumbers job?

[Matt Bott]

You see, I had a tiler coming in with 20 years of experience but seemed to me he never has installed a wetroom. If you seen his envelope cut for the tray and the cut around the waste ( over 20mm space between tile and waste ) you would have cried.

The tile which had the sharp edge from the envelope cut was sticking out from the floor about 8-10mm. You will easily cut your toes off. He couldn't even put grout in between the envelope cuts because he put them against each other without a gap. He didn't even use a laser level for tiling , but well the result is horrible.

He had a perfect prepared bathroom to tile and still. Oils to manage. Mapei mapeguard, durabase, wediboards, everything was ready to tile.

20 years of doing it wrong if he gets to a million years experience still be churning dog

Next time I'm there I'll be taken pictures to show you. He even left the sharp cuts on the wedi tray and walked on it. It's a sign he doesn't give da monkey. He used the cheapest tile adhesive on the market fresh from the bucket 🙂 I'll upload later some videos how the tiles came off from the wall because he forgot to fit a channel for the screen 🙂

It might be quicker, but the results are different by miles.

I don't get your reply . You tank a whole room it looks better than blotches of tanking and you also make sure you don't miss anything .

My plumber will fit the waste pipe but I install the tray, connect to the tray and sort out all the waterproofing. Occasionally, he'll install the tray but normally not very well!

Paint on tanking will only be as good as the substrate, whereas onto wedi it will take a substantial increase in weight issue.

I meant by tanking the kit you put onto the wall , mapei, ardex etc...I don't like these products. I prefer using wediboards

The old green star brigade. Says it all! Probably punctured that tray with standing on chippings and cuttings! Waste will be full of adhesive and chippings
