[quote=dick turpin;30456]Hi all, I have a job to start on wed but have a few questions.
Bathroom 450*450 porcelain wall tiles 25m2
450*450 porcelain floor tiles 7m2
Tumbled marble mosaic shower floor 2m2
1. There is no fall in the shower for the floor, how best to create one? Customer has put down concrete.....very level
2. The customer has put 12mm ply in the shower area, but covered it in pva, can i now put an apd or recommended primer onto the pva?
3. should i do te floor or the walls first, customer wants floor tiles to come up the wal as a skirting, so i would presume the floor first,
4. a rough idea as to how much adhesive and grout would be, bearing in mind the marble will need inpregnating and sealing.
Another tiler ( time served) has given him a quote £600, he said he can do it in 2-3 days, being a newbie it would take me about 2 weeks (lol) as i havnt layed any tiles of this size before. any tips for setting out?
I know the customer so he wants to give me the job i just want to get it done properly.
Should i get on the nearest bus going in the opposite direction.
Any help or advise would be gratefully received.
If any one can get to cambridge on wed morn that would be even better:)[/quote]the shower would be better tanked out...primed in apd.large tiles require cement based adhesive like bal rapid flex.As for the floor..put 6mm backerboard down on the floor up to the shower base this wil give your mosaics a fall........sorry but I dont' do prices......welcome to the forums by the way and good luck....Gaz |
