cutting around toilet job !

[david campbell]

looks neat mate

god i hate cutting round loo's it doubles the time of cracking out those bathroom floor jobs

[hillhead]

looks good Terry
I'd a ripped that pine unit out,lol

[whitebeam]

Cutting around toilet never looks right but a clean job terry

[Sir Ramic]

I think i would have started with the tile joint in the centre of the pan ??

[Phil Hobson]

Ditto, but still looks OK

[michaelb4348]

see what you mean but i think that looks ok as the setting out looks even both sides which i think looks better.

Me too but it still looks a very good job

Sorry sir but that IMO would have left a slither along the bath so no way for me.
Everyone to their own way i say

Not always possible and can naff up other cuts as well..

I look at the whole floor and not just the bog centre.

From looking at it i dont think it would leave a slither but without measuring i cant tell....each to their own though. i am am just drawn to the off centre thing. Yes sometimes it cant be helped though.

[hillhead]

Your right it looks tight,my first glimpse said slither but really close call.
If it was going to work i'd have went centre for sure but only one man plus the customer knows,lol.
still a nice job,i like them tiles.

Good job Terry but should'nt it be in JOTM they are looking for jobs at this very moment....Alby

[terry the tiler]

dry laid from centre of pan and did have a slither at the bath end that the bath panel wouldn't cover. the grout line lines up with the centre of the door which works well. the customer sent me a Tex saying he was over the moon and that id transformed his bathroom into his dream bathroom !! i thought it was a bit over the top but nice to no there happy. nothing worse than a unhappy customer

Quite right and goes to show the camera can lie.

[TF Ed]

nice one terry, keep up the good work
as said above, tiling around the toilet doesnt look as good but if the customer wants to keep the cost down, then its their call...

it just goes to show that even photos can be deceptive because at first glance, it looks as though you could have just made it with the setting out centering the toilet but as you dry laid, you realised it would have left a unsightly cut so you made the best decision available......

setting out is a stange one sometimes, its down to interpretation is some instances, not everything is black and white.

They look like B&Q tiles Terry?
I tiles a bathroom in them a months or so ago,turned out very well too.

[benjiiiiuk]

just out of interest, how did you go about getting the toilet cut.

cheers

[terry the tiler]

just kept nibbling and seeing if it fits ! took quite a while ! ended up having a perfect cut only to break it again will be using solder as a guide from now on to save time

yes m8, b and q tiles ! marble look a like ! nice tiles . i would have had them brick bond tho if it was my place and maybe a ivory grout. but customer wanted the vertical with white grout ! still looks ok tho
