Cracked Tiles over Bonding Plaster

[Old Mod]

Hello,

Not forgotten, I just thought I’d wait till it actually happened before I posted! Many thanks for the advice and suggestions given. Once work is underway I will let everyone know.

Thanks again,

Edd

Apologies for making assumptions Edd.
Thanks for coming back, look forward to hearing more.

What was the reason for the blue and white tile grout joints being offset(horizontally)?

 

[Edd Barker]

3Fall - No apology required! As the bathroom is still useable, we have told the fitter not to rush to squeeze us in. So it could be a month or two before anything happens.

Wrighty - the blue and white tiles are different sizes! We did not realise this until the fitter told us. We chose the blue first, but did not like the whites that the same manufacturer offered, so we went with another that were (supposedly) the same size from another maker. Obviously the tolerances in manufacturing have added up to an offset. Lesson learnt on that one. As the two walls are only visible together from one specific angle, we will get over it.

I see!
It's something I have had to tell some customers in the past.....not all tiles that are called 600mm x 300m are 600mm x 300mm!

When retiling the blue tiles you could also avoid those slithers at the ceiling by asking the tiler to go a full tile off the bath if its no longer to meet a bond from the white tiles. Just a thought if its being redone anyway. Unless it is just one wall being redone then nevermind
