    I've got a job like that too and start tiling it tomorrow, but it's only like that because I've spent the last four days ripping out and rebuilding the wall and floor to get them perfect.....

    Unreal ain't it Doug - this tiling lark would be easy if they were all like this.
    Only prob I've got is that I've taken 2 rads off to tile behind on an un-vented system
    and I can't find the filling loop!

    walls seem to be getting worse these days, i think it may be more to do with the larger tiles showing up the bad walls

    I've had an easy day aswell Macten, my current bathroom has nice flat walls aswell and I'm due to finish 2 - 3 days ahead of schedule!

    Regarding the filling loop, I would expect it to be next to the cylinder in the cupboard? Not there?
