bathroom tiling
A bathroom or washroom is a room, typically in a home or other residential building, that contains either a bathtub or a shower (or both). The inclusion of a wash basin is common. In some parts of the world e.g. India, a toilet is typically included in the bathroom; in others, the toilet is typically given a dedicated room separate from the one allocated for personal hygiene activities. In North American English the word 'bathroom' is sometimes used to refer to any room in a residence that contains a toilet, regardless of the inclusion of a bath or shower.
Historically, bathing was often a collective activity, which took place in public baths. In some countries the shared social aspect of cleansing the body is still important, as for example with sento in Japan and the "Turkish bath" (also known by other names) throughout the Islamic world.
I’m not happy with the quality of tiling in my bathroom. The builder says the wide, uneven and chipped edges will be hidden by the silicone. I think this will look awful. Some of the tiles are chipped and some are marked. I’d really appreciate views on whether my disappointment is justified.

Hi guys I have a question about tiling large 800x800 tiles on floor and walls in a bathroom with a walkin shower. I'm thinking it would be easier to tile the floor first and cover them with protective foil. And then cut the first row of tiles to a laser line level starting from the floor up. The...

Hi, we have been doing up our house but had a bathroom fitter in for that room. Some of the white tiles have discoloured- see photos of before (all same shade, same batch numbers etc), and see after with ‘darker’ white tiles behind shower fittings and lower down near tray. Is this a leak?

Hi all,
I had a new shower fitted last week. The plumber/tiler could not get a white tile to match my current tiles so he said he would put a mosaic tile there instead. The job is a mess. There is tile cement everywhere. The tiling itself looks horrible to me. He has already come out and...
