Dagger, thanks for showing all of us how your job is going. I like seeing these shots of a typical install in the UK. It is a rare thing here in the US where the bathroom gets comprehensive waterproofing like you guys do on your jobs.

I have just got off the telephone with my potential customer and given him the unfortunate news how much it will cost to remove and replace his "wetroom" and pointed him in the direction of this post,
so i hope he finds this informative and reassuring!

and thank you to you guys for all the input!

Hello all!!

back to work today on the wetroom in SE London,

after a coffee and a minute or two i started tiling:

Someone on this forum must have loved my advice about putting a sheet down after the first course was on the wall because i could not find that sheet ANYWHERE!

anyway, an hour or so later:

the next thing i had to do was put in the wall that goes over the entrance, always a little tricky so i reached for my phone to call my mummy, not really i just put the kettle on again!

after my beverage:

i start to put the wall up, still struggling with the +/- 2mm difference in size of the tiles. (b & q people!).

a bit later i had this:

and the other side:

and a bit of a wider angle:

so, all that is left to do is the two returns and ceiling that forms the entrance to the wetroom, i will do them tommorrow and grout the lot.
siliconing and a small repair to the floor in the bedroom (i did not lay it or break it) will have to wait.

needless to say i wont be doing all that tommorrow!

thanks

Dagger.

Hello all,

i had a bad start to today, i forgot my camera!
anyway, i had to go and see another job in the afternoon so i did not get as much done as i would have liked, and i did not have photos of what i had done!!!!

but for the sake of this post on my way back from the quote i grabbed my camera from home and headed off to the wetroom job:

this is the right hand side of the entrance:

and this is the left hand side:

this is the entrance from a wide angle:

and this is the full entrance:

as you can see all the doorway is mitred chrome trim and there is chrome trim on all external corners, and although meddling with the tile joins has been a problem.... for £10m2 these tiles look great!

anyway i hope you like it so far and i will put more piccys on tommorrow!

Dagger.
