Show Us YOUR Work Thread - Tilers Pictures

[Dave]

Edit May 2024: THIS is a New Show Us Your Work Thread for 2024 Onwards

This is the new Tilers Showcase Forum where we want new tiling work added, with each tiling job you complete having a thread of its own so people can see what kind of work you do, and potential customers can find your work

---

I thought it was about time we had a thread dedicated to all members of Tilers forums to show us any work that they do.

Be it from installing a kitchen to garden decking. Show us your work! Get those pictures taken, but then do something with them! Actually add them to a thread and some facebook groups with your website link in them etc and it'll help spread the tile love.

If you have done a job then please do share it with us.

Pics are a MUST as what is the point of sharing a job without them..:smilewinkgrin:.

So if you do a job and you take a few pics then please do share it with us.

Lets make it a big thread for all to view and input in.

Thanks Dave ..

Its a great job mate, don't be so modest. There are a lot of tilers who couldn't complete work to that standard and the external mitres take a lot of skill, very easy to mess them up.

 

[Tony73]

Thanks Bri, ok than could be entry for JOTM . The only thing, not allways i get pics of complete bathrooms (which would look nicer)as i only do tiling and builder/contractor do 2nd fix plumbing, painting etc. So it is what it is :lol:

 

[jonnyc]

heres the job weve been on for last 36 man days down in cotswolds.
I am hoping to put this in for JOTM APRIL if i can submit them in order from time i went to quarry in france to inspect the block and see slabs cut, through the fixing process.
Have only one part to grout monday and whole area to apply final seal but hope to get this in just in time.

 

[The Legend; Phil Hobson RIP]

Nice work Jonny, get it on JOTM

 

[jonnyc]

thanks.
think i did same as you and got photos in reverse order .
goodness knows how i change it.
think i will post on JOTM , but would really liked it to have been finished and buffed , even if kitchen etcc wont be in for months.
these feature pieces were a nightmare to fix, very fragile on point.

good luck with your entry this month. looked very tricky that

 

[DHTiling]

Hi.

A couple bathrooms to share with ya.

Apple stone en-suite 60x40 random set , really nice stone.

And a main bathroom with raised walk in Wetroom , tiled in ceveza polished travertine 60x30 random set and 60x60 floor areas.
Polished edges with 4 mm chamfer finish.

This is a really nice travertine and the patterning is awesome.





























One more bathroom/Wetroom to tile in the Ceveza travertine.

Pics to follow when complete.

 

[Diamond Pool Finishers]

great work johnny ,love it, great work Dave top quality, the stone you used in the five pics is the same as i'am using in my wet-room, love it,except i have bought bullnose pieces to go round the window & a fancy piece
to go round the door opening instead of making them ( cheat :smilewinkgrin: )

 

[tobins tiling]

Great work jonny c as always and it was great to see we're it all starts in the quarryGreat work also dave lovelly looking bathroom and stone

 

[tobins tiling]

Just out of interest jonny were was that quarry??

 

[jonnyc]

its in burgundy in france.
there are many small and large quarries in this area of france but this is unique in that none of the others quarry the blue vix. it comes from only one small quarry in a field. no one else has this stone in the world.
the problem the quarry has is that if they sell blue vix thay have to cut out the beige part from the blocks and slab.
you will see from photo of face in quarry, the blocks and slabs that a large proportion of face is beige and they have to use this for other named stones.
this in itself is not a problem as everything cut out of block or slab is used for tiles or coblles/setts etcc.
but i think the problem now is that they have to cut so much block just to get some blue vix.
15 years ago i was fixing this blue vix for paris ceramics and they were the only people who sold this stone. At that time i think the quarry were cutting from an area in quarry that was yielding greater percentage of blue than beige. now it is the other way round , so price has gone up alot.
there is also problem that they usually say biggest tile they will do is 700 x 500 mm as the clour changes so quickly in block and they waste more the bigger the tile required.
this project required aopprox 200.00 sq mts 800x 600 x 20 mm stone tiles plus treads risers etcc which was very difficult to achieve. i went to france with different london stone supplier as i had fixed lots of this stone years ago and knew what one might or should expect.
we had to check what the blocks were like and approve basically three quite radical tonal variations.
my job on site was to select the right percentage tonal mix through the ten tons of stone supplied and represent this through the whole area.
with such variation without a lot of going through batch and sorting every crate before fixing you could have a dissaster on your hands

 

[jonnyc]

sorry i should have added that i am only talking about the field stone which was the 800 x 600 plus treads and risers aand one half of the weird shape feature pieces.
the other half are belgian blue limestone.
the border is another grey limestone again

 

[Stef]

Jonny, that is one class bit of work there.

Dave another top quality install.

 

[Jammeh]

Hi jonnyc,

I've just been catching up on this thread and both like the work you've done on the stone floor, and the look of it. Can you give an idea of the m^2 price of that. I'd like to do mine something similar but have a feeling that the price will push the genuine article well out of my league.

Cheers
James

A hallway/ cloakroom toilet tiling & refit job recently......nothing exciting Im afraid, but we all love photos dont we

Mapei Latexplan trade (local TG ran out of Ren Screed :mad2 saved me here....the floor was over an inch out in many places

 

[kilty55]

[Muse2k8]

Nice work Jamie

 

[Richard Edwards]

Thats a great challenge Jonny
A couple of quick questions -
Did you make your own templates for the curved sections and the circle at the end ?
Thats a fancy looking roller you are using to get the disconnection membrane to stick flat - where did you source that from?

Super bit of work

A travertine bathroom refit I completed last week. A slight improvement :smilewinkgrin:
