Now................. I'm not a tiler............... BUT.................

1 - PVA? nope.... SBR or Acryllic (substrate depending) but that's not enough on its own. Wet areas must also be tanked.
2 - You're doing domestic work in customers properties, and you don't even know what tanking is? Please say you've never tiled a wetroom!

Things get said on this forum, like you have done, and you are going to get bombarded with comments. Not all of them helpful, but from a certain angle, justified.

Before you get the wrong end of the stick, I'm not playing a race card here. But in Britain, it is strongly advised that any work you undertake conforms to British Standards. I'm sure there are are plenty of other European ones also in regards to tiling. Lots of rules and regulations, and a bit of common sense added for good measure. Where you have come from (I'm going to take a guess at Poland? but please correct me if I'm wrong), you may have learnt tiling in a way that allows you to cut many corners and not get any repercussions. However over here, things can go to court if it goes wrong. Every aspect of your work will be pulled apart and if any of it does not meet the aforementioned Standards, you could be liable.

Many will admire your enthusiasm for wanting to work, but they will question your methods and correct you if something is wrong. Others on the forum will just straight up verbally obliterate you. On the other hand, it's a fantastic place to learn. And from the sounds of it, that's what you need to do. There are some jobs you may visit that even someone with my lack of ability could do. But there are some which at the moment, you should stay clear of until you have sufficient knowledge of what's required. Like any room that involves water.
