Hi guys a bit of an overdue update!

So when we left off we had a tanked wet room.

Next up the tiling

So first i put out the batten and set out

Also brought a new toy!

Then up and away with the tiling!

Got to the window corners and the bit i was dreading, the miters...

first wall done, i didn't want to grout the external mitre so i filled them all

before and after

Next moved onto the floor and the other 2 wall's

labeled all the cuts for the floor

Next up me and my other half did the grouting...

Lovely job huh?! We used Epoxy grout, BAL Easypoxy AG Black, mostly due to wanting to make it as water tight as possible...

Using a set of digital scales to mix up exact amounts and using empty mastic tubes to apply the grout with

Then cleaning down the grout

My beautiful asistant

And done, this shows the miters after filling and cleaning

Onto the end wall

And the floor.. the dark patches are just water

More to come!

I think one of the best threads I’ve read on this forum in 10 years!
I have only 2 comments -
1) a picture of the tanked room is on its side so I had to turn my head.
2) that is just about the perfect installation!
No one could have given you the result you’ve achieved - well thought out and executed.

I agree, superb installation.

Only comment I would make would be the top window reveal is miles out.

The prep work is exceptional.

@Waluigi - really?
That is your comment!

Thanks for all the kind comments guys, reading your advice is what has got me to this result so thank you

@Waluigi thanks, i think i know the bit you mean, the slate? I didn't know how to fix that issue The window seemed 'too big' on the outside and i couldn't drop the slate any lower at the window side because it would no longer meet the frame and allow the trickle vent to open

 

[Waluigi]

I know exactly what you mean- unavoidable really isn’t it.

Fantastic job regardless. It must’ve completely consumed you!

Cracking job from prep to tiling to epoxy grout. Not easy at all both of you must have the patience of a saint
