at first I thought you meant to keep that tiny cut in the centre, but I realise now you mean to split the cuts over 3 to avoid small slithers, makes sense!

I've read conflicting things about what to do online, some say to have bath fitted first etc, but I am planning to tile around the bath and tile down to it once fitted. Also it's plasterboard, am I ok to prime it using the stuff I used on the floor? it mentions Plaster, but not plasterboard...

that never even crossed my mind, is that the done thing? thing is the floor grout is white, the wall grout is grey, so I don't think it would look that visually pleasing

White floor grout???? Bad idea. Very bad. no matter how much you clean it, it will not stay white. Unless you're planning on using epoxy?

Sorry if you've already said, missed alot of this thread and there are too many pages to trudge back through.... But are you having the same tile on the wall as the floor or are you going for something different? if so what size are they?

if you look on the last page in the middle there is a pic of the wall tiles, there different colour and size, there 600mm by 300mm and in grey.

Well your most probably right about the white grout, seeming I've done everything the hard way so far, touching up a few times a year if required doesn't seem like a big deal.
