right, this is my first DIY project and my wet room is gonna be the death of me. i'm nearly at the tiling stage now. i've got a 1500 x 820mm tuff 2 tray with an offset drain. i've made a template of the tray so i can do a dry run of the tiles (which i haven't chosen yet).

Trouble is the mitres don't meet up with the corners of the drain grid but several cm from the corners instead and i'm not even sure there is any gradient near the centre of the drain. my question is shall i just mitre the tiles all the way to the drain grid even though it doesn't look right or shall i get the joints to meet at a flatish square area just outside the drain grid area?

or should i just use mosaic tiles in the shower area and standard tiles on the rest of the bathroom floor? if so how would i cut the mosaic tiles?

hope this thread makes sense, it's very hard to explain without a picture

I'd mosaic on the shower tray area, makes life so much easier

thats what i'd do,don't make work for yourself

cheers lads think that's what i'll do. is it a case of laying the mesh with tiles square on the tray and cutting diagonally along the mitre line?

You should'nt have to cut any diagonal lines with mosaic if there small enough

Should'nt need to cut any diagonal lines

Hi Roberto, yep, mosaic every time. Imho

sweet. whitebeam does that mosaic floor have a gradient? it prob does just looks very subtle.

Yes it does, I used a cement screed to shape the falls but it was for a disabled young girl so had to keep it gradual as she was unstable on her legs
