Evening all
Bit of a dilema which to enter this month as have had two very enjoyable stone jobs
This is silver /grey travetine ensuite that i've just completed.
There intitial plan was just to do the shower enclosue area but with some suggestions this is the outcome and there over the moon with.
The cuts around the lintel and to the left of it had to be well champfered on a few sides to get the tile as close to the angled areas to avoid unsightly gaps.
Skirting board and an area around the door was bullnosed but very lightly polished(400 grade) to match the sheen on the face of the tile
Cheers for looking

At first i wasn't to keen on the stone i thought it would make the ensuite have a cold ambience to it but once installed a lot of warm shades in the stone came together.
Bit of a tale with the photo that has sneaked in.
Another guy had tiled it but the customer wasn't to happy with the standard,lippage,prep,set out,cuts,etc so i was asked to do the 2 ensuites.
Heres my entry for this month. Its a spa bath I tiled in the factory where it was made, everything is tiled and plumbed before moving it to site. The spas are made of fibre glass with a white gel coating, because of this PCI Collastic adhesive (epoxy) has to be used, along with Mosaico+ epoxy grout (deep joy). This bath also had steps and seat section which were joined together on site where I tiled the join.
The tiles are glass, glossy and non slip. Apart from full sheets in foot well the whole lot was done in single strips!

you must have the patience of a saint. i'd be ready to throw the trowel in after a couple of days..
I just sat in the bath going round and round for a few days, every now and then someone would pop their head over the top to see I was still alive. I have to say a big 'thanks' to the tilers who work for the company with their help and advice especially as the contractor had wanted me to do the job.
Aha, THERE it is, been waiting for it! It is gorgeous, Sharon, no wonder you're chuffed with it, I don't think anyone should be allowed to fill it with water!! You might just be the cause to have two separate job of the month prices, one for normal tiling and one for mosaics or other speciality. Wow. Well done. Hope you're rolling in cash
