First Job Almost Done - TilersForums.com

[leeroberts636]

Hi All

Been a while since i have posted I was going into the tiling business but just a quick up date......almost completed my first job (bathroom & toilet floor and walls floor to ceiling). Quite a big job for my first one and a tough one as the plumber had put in the bath, toilet and sink before hand and the walls were in an awful state.
I primed the walls with bal APD primer then used floor and wall bitumen sealant (great fun ..not!). Does this sound ok to you guys?
Said it would take 4-5 days and in reality has taken 7, I suppose spotting the potential problems before hand and not on the job will come with experience !!! Still I am happy with my first job looks good and I know the walls behind are in good shape too. The main thing is the customers are happy and I really enjoyed not having to wear a shirt and tie to work!


take care all and thanks for all the support ...roll on the training course

cheers lee

Not sure about the sealant lee.

What makes is it and why did you use that?

I bet it felt good to get paid for your first job, eh.
I'm with the others on the sealant though, sounds a bit strange to me.
