wide drains can be a pain!
Tiling a wet room floor thats got a bespoke glass curved door being manufactured, 910 quadrant , its in a loft bathroom and you cant swing a cat in there ,all the floor drains on the job are 800x 100 purus type shower drains or larger , couldnt get the falls to work well and keep the enveloping inside the quadrant so we cut the tiles down into mosaic and done the best we could of a pig of a shower here are some pics ungrouted

Re: wide drains can be a pain!
Sounds like you diddnt have fun on this one. was it a preformed fall/tray or did you create the tray/falls yourself? I reckon those drains are best suited for either square or rectangular trays/falls

Re: wide drains can be a pain!
Blimey, that corner piece is the whole size of the shower then, to go with the bespoke door? Why? Seems unnecessarily tight? Can't have been fun...

Re: wide drains can be a pain!
Gary,
I've seen your work and it's top notch mate, but I have to be honest, this doesn't look like you've done it. God knows we all get p'd off in small spaces and sometimes we just have to make the best of it, but this is leagues under what I know your capable of.
Sorry mate, I don't mean to offend

Looking to tile my whole bathroom but not sure how it will look it......any ideas from other tilers in here....

I am not sure what the fittings cost but if you pm me I will tell you where the customer purchased them from ,the walls were fully tiled in iridescant glass mosaic and grouted in white epoxy grout
