Tile or upvc window ledge?

[FreeD]

So Dave how do u slip that trim behind the tiles when the adhesive has already gone off?

 

[DHTiling]

You don't...:smilewinkgrin: Remove that tile and re-do it...

 

[mikethetile]

im pleased you opted for tile

i use upvc on housing association work as that whats specified, the tenants hate it

that sample is not plastic window cill , its bullnose fascia

i use the same as its cheaper

so you chose wisely

Hee hee. Well I'm not gonna get in too much of a strop about it just want it all finished now. Theres also a small chip or mis-cut in the corner of the left hand tile but as long as they put enough grout in to fill the gap I'm not gonna get too upset about that either. They're coming back again tomorrow to finish. They were supposed to be finished Wed, then today and lo and behold its now gonna take another day. Is this the never ending bathroom saga or wot?!!!! Honestly my bathroom ain't that big.

So tomorrow they've gotta finish grouting the wall tiles, grout the window ledge, finish putting the trim on, grout the floor, fill in some grout gaps in the wall tiles that I've noticed(eg by the ceiling), seal the tiled ledge by the bath, install the shower, put the bath panel on, install the sink, sort the edge where the tile meets the carpet, fill a hole in the ceiling where they removed the extractor fan, drill a hole in the tiles for my loo roll holder....oh yeah and I was kind of hoping they'd clean the wall and floor tiles up a bit before they go coz they're all very mucky!!! What do you think? Think they'll be back Monday myself!!!

Hope there on a price not day work:incazzato:

 

[mikethetile]

at this rate they will be working bank holiday weekend as well

Yeah thats the 1 good thing about it I guess it was a fixed price before they started tho there was a bit of extra tiling so I'm expecting a slight increase coz of that. Mind you given the hash they've made of the floor and the fact I'm not very happy with it I'm thinking I might try and negotiate a discount. I've bought some big fluffy bath mats from Tesco to try and break the floor up a bit so the 2 colour effect isn't so obvious but I wouldn't have had to do that if they'd done a proper job in the first place. Plus the extra wine I've had to drink coz of the stress!! :smilewinkgrin:

 

[mikethetile]

and then theres the holiday you will need to get over all the stress

 

[BikerJet]

:lol: :lol:
I'll be holidaying in my beautiful new bathroom......if its ever finished that is!!!

I'm very glad I opted for tile too - it does look so much better than that bullnose whatever that was!!

 

[BikerJet]

Okay another silly question - I've just been in looking at my bathroom again and I'm wondering - should the trim have a gap between it and the wall or do I need to get him to put some extra grout in to fill the gap?

Not at all janet...

We have a lady ( ) member on here who came on for advice about her kitchen floor....she's never been away...:lol:,,,she knows who she is...

Stick around, you never know you might just do that course and tile your own work in future..:smilewinkgrin:

Obviously I haven't been reading posts closely enough recently :lol:

Thanks Dave but why have you put a smiley face in brackets? what are you trying to say?
