[CCTiling]

I'll get the ball rolling this month then. Finished yesterday...last bit of silicone and job done. Was hoping to get it finished for last month but plumber couldn't make it back for 2nd fix in time. All tiles from B&Q!!!! Natural stone effect glazed ceramic tile for wall with border mixed marble and glass and ceramic tile for floor. SPF adhesive used throughout with Bal Microflex Ivory on wall and Mapei ultracolour Jasmine for floor. Hope you like...no black and white here!!!

Nice one CC

Here's my entry, actually tiled last month, before the kitchen went in, I was back today to do the walls.The kitchen fitter was the clients brother so luckily the supplied measurements were spot on.(Phew)
The colours are funny in the pics, the floor is not brown, but black with silver streaks in,(like the first pic) looks really good in the flesh

Ok Chaps / Chapets

Here is my effort for this Month finished today. They are porcelainorosa tiles 700x330 Africa Beige then on the feature wall are 300x200 Africa multicolour. The arch was made from the multicolour cut down then hand finished to give a nice smooth finish (Plumber thought I had found a tile the exact size) until I told him that I had cut them all down and finished them all. He had 2 look again !!! and again and again still not sure if he realy believed me in the end or not Customer was over the moon with it which is allways a bonus nothing toooooo flash just a nice simple design.

This a complete bathroom rip out, it was only tiled 2 years ago and failed miserably. The pictures are not in order as the job progressed. The original 'tiler' fitted the tiles behind the bathtap so close that it hardly turned on at all, he used 6mm ply and fixed the ufh at 150mm centres so that was never going to work, the plumbing was a nightmare to fix, it looked like a can of spagetti. All in all it was one of the worst installations I have seen.



ps I have no idea why there are pictures of my van being fixed, maybe a mod can remove them as I have tried but failed.

[CCTiling]

Excellent standard again this month. One job did stand out for me!

[Richard Edwards]

Excellent work all around - As per my normal view point, I am going to vote for the work that I consider shows excellence in the planning, execution and level of workmanship and finish, rather than the colours and designs as these will be selected by others.

[Slowly Learning]

Some true works of art here lads. Im very impressed, makes the stuff I do look very basic indeed. I hope one day I will be able to put something on here that could rival this lot! Top work everyone.
