    looks good to me but i think you could have saved some cutting in the bathroom by using three tiles wide rather than four,as this would have looked better.To achieve what i am talking about ,instead of starting in middle with full tile,use the vsl and start with a tile with a halfway line on it and place this on your vsl.Looks good tho m8 well done.

    I can see why you have the small cut either side of the toilet wall....so that you started a joint centre to the toilet but if you started a centre tile to the toilet you would have got better cuts......but looks good all the same........take no notice of bri....he just wishes he could tile..........

    TBH, it looks okay, and I'm sure the next will look even better now that you have the things the others have already said in mind Also, though it might be the lighting or the angle of the photo, you might have used to much water in your grout, or when washing off. I think I can see some colour differances, but that's probably just nitpicking on my part.

    Did you remove the skirting prior to tiling? I'd recommend doing that, as you don't have to silicone then, unless you really really want to, or if it's a proper bathroom. Looks neater, too
