Tiling around door frame - Tile Advice

Just make sure the walls are spot on, you need 100% coverage on those tiles in the wet area.

I’ve not fixed tiles that size before and I would be double checking everything before I even took one from the box.

Don’t rush the tanking stage either that needs to be spot on otherwise that’s going to cost big time!

Progress pics too please

Yeah I’m a bit anal when it comes to tanking.. mainly because I deal with leaks all the time in bathrooms so I like to make sure my work is leak free..

Lol I’ll post pics as I go.. unless I really balls it up haha

When trowling the other boards, you think a 6mm is too small? Would you go with 8mm?

Last bit of tanking done after putting in another 30 toggle screws that can take 50kg each on a downward pull!! Next: scrape and clean the tray, membrane installation and then setting out ready for slapping on those bad boys! Been here since 7am

Last night I nearly mentioned about spring toggles having a bolt instead of a screw which means the screws aren’t countersunk into the washer. I see you’ve found that out.

Haha yes.. it sticks out by about 3-4mm which should fit within the adhesive as I’m using a 10mm trowel for those big tiles and back buttering the tiles as well. Unless you think I need to do something different? Bas**** builders stacked 3 plasterboards on top of each other so had to go get longer m6 screws to fit the toggles on the wall the shower is on

I take it you're laying a waterproof membrane over the former?
