Looking To Start Tiling

[dynamictiling]

20m bathroom including the floor, say 16m walls 4m floor, in one day. Even with easy ceramics that's a lot

It's not really.... 8 hours graft in day. 20 metres in a bathroom, 2 hours to grout it. An hour break leaves 5 hours. 20÷5=4. So that works out at 4 metres an hour. Hardly alot

they generally take me by my self 2 days with a polish off on the 3rd morning....ie 2.1 days.....my standards are on (Hull bathrooms the bathroom specialists) take a look i,ve never been judged by any other tiler before

Far quicker giving it a second wash than polishing it. Less dust and with polishing if the grout hasn't set you could damage the grout.

U having a laugh mate? There is nothing wrong with a bit of speed and precision. I have uploaded various projects on here I have done. Feel free to have a look through them and spot any bits that are ' as rough as arse oles' out of curiosity, how long would a plain and simple 20m2 bathroom take you? A week? A month?...

i think tiling and grouting 20 m2 same day is asking alot for me personally , i would have to be cutting corners somewhere along the lines.
just out of wandering i looked at your pics, do you not mitre your trims,

I suppose there must be differences here and there, for example, i would cut the tiles neatly into the slope and chamfer the back off them so they sit flush, the trim doesn't work for me. I always mitre trims too, it's all extra time.

Unless a customer asks I don't mitre my trim. Always use straight edge trim.

i would trim that as the ceiling would be of level.,,
yeah i would always mitre trims,
each to there own but, as long as customers are happy,

 

[dave l and l]

cool, i always use flat edge trim and always mitre them, suppose there is no right or wrong there .

They two trims in the picture at the boxing in. There is no otherway to do them apart from straight. The trim at the box was cut straight as they are 'framless' doors (I will try and dig out a picture of the outside of the door).

That bathroom in question took 6 days in total. From a shell to complete makeover. 2 and a half days to tile, that included the boxing in, putting cement boards down and under floor heating down. The one downstairs took nearly 4 days to tile (ceilings were over 3 metres high!)

Ultimately these were high end bathroom installs. When you taking 5 grand plus off of someone for a bathroom, it has got to be perfect.

I don't class 5k as a high end bathroom really, just average price.
I was referring to the trim on top of the tiles that meets the slope. The rest looks good!

The labour was 5k, with that i supplied adhesive, grout, trim ufh, plumbing fixings and waterproof matting. Materials were roughly 4 and a half. I am not really sure what you mean about the slope?

with experience comes speed. Faster at tiling, faster at cutting, faster at grouting.
