Where we all working this week ?

[Chalker]

Started bathroom in Harrogate. Seems too good to remove. Floor tiles straight onto chipboard. 4 hours to get up! Wall tiles done with notched trowel, could have removed them with a shovel.

Why they having that ripped out mate looks ok to me?... why is it bad that the wall tiles were done with a notched trowel? Did the tiles not take to the adhesive propperly?

Seem to be the case Ash.......but what made want them removed in the first place.....

 

[Mr Tiler]

I started a wall before done about 5m2 in 100x100 tiles then noticed not one tile had took to the addy... had to take the lot off scrape the walls down and start again lol always check every other row of tiles now to be sure lol.

Are talking tubbed gear...

 

[Mr Tiler]

Yes mate from bnq... i enned the tub the night before just to use one scoop of the stuff it must of gone bad over night I've done that before with no prbs next day tho tho.

If you over spread the addy the surface of it will dry out and skin over and won't stick to the tiles.....

 

[Mr Tiler]

That has actually just made sense to me mate you dont mean leave it too long you mean spread spread it over too much dont ya?

Thanks, I was meaning that the floor tiles were fitted all wrong and took some getting up and the wall tiles were done right and came off easily. Just goes to show.
as for the bathroom I think it looks better now than when it will be finished. This is the spec to what is going to be fitted. Black sparkly mermaid board in the shower, white tiles on the floor, leopard striped vanity unit and various coloured walls . The customer is an lady in her late 70's.
