Morning Bob :8:
Yup it used to be an old mank radiator with exposed pipework and the pipes had 10 layers of drippy paint on them.
Binned the lot and replumbed in to the wall
For the finishing touch you can use chrome plated copper pipe to the rad valves, it looks loads neater than copper. Granted only 2 inch will be on show though. I buy it in 3M lengths but you can buy tails from Screwfix which come with shrouds. File the chrome plate off to solder and don't use push fits with it.

Haha, well I take them all on an iPhone and there is a photobucket app that takes them from the phone and uploads them. Easy as peas! copy paste links, jobs a good'un!
I have taken and posted a hell of a lot of photo's, but this threads purpose other than getting advice from you pro's.. and hopefully helping others.. is to keep a log for myself showing what work was involved.
sorry to all if it gets a bit monotonous and boring

Layed some tiles...
Only joking.. just setting out, being a bit curious.
All seems ok from what I can see... anyone see any pitfalls? I set out from the doorway. First thing you see I guess.. made sense
I do have one question right now.... Now the SLC is down, I have a 5mm or so step down to the shower tray.
Would I be ok to use some tile adhesive to smooth from the SLC surface down to the shower tray? kind of like a gradual slope? I dont mind the slope, could be worse, the tray could be higher! :lol:
Im using mosaics for the tray so they should follow the slope ok...?
excuse dust/slc shavings
cheers

Looking good mate
I would personally cut where it meets the floor tiles. Is there any way of keeping full tiles at both areas? Do what is right for the wet area, then work out from there. It is the feature area of the floor after all. It looks pretty good to me though, may need the floor tiles shifting a few mm here or there to get the required look of no cuts in the mosaics.....hope that all made sense :lol:

Perfect sense mate, Thank you
I think I will cut the tiles down on the doorway row, this will enable me to bring a full tile to the mosaic where the screen will end.

Just going back to this point... can I use tubbed adhesive to make this feathered join?
Not that im being stingy as I have 6 blimin bags of keraflex maxi... but rather than open a bag and mix a small lot... I do have a tub of mapegrip that I used for the kitchen.... still some left so would be great if I could use that?

No Dave, use the keraflex.

Guys, a bit of help/opinion required please
Setting out the wall tiles.
Tiles are 330x500 and I will be tiling in a brick bond pattern. I'm a bit stumped on how I should set out, basically what areas to focus on.
I have the shower mixer control on one wall
Then a niche and TV on the wall next
Then 2 niches on the wall next to that
Im thinking I should set out from the TV as thats pretty much what everyone will look at really!
Should Niches generally have tile joins slap bang in the middle?
If I set out from the shower mixer control, I can get it in the middle of one tile, but this will leave non central cuts for the first niche next to it
Want to get it right first time. Im thinking that it will be impossible to get central cuts on all so best to focus on one main feature
Shower control
Niche(s)
TV
couple of pics below showing. (there will be a screen on the left of shower)

Time's Ran Out
With square mosaic and square floor tiles - I'am just surprised you've gone for a rectangular shaped wall tile and 'brick bond'.
Although one would try to follow the whole tile pattern around the corners in the 'brick bond' design, I'd have a look first at centring the walls to make all your features equal to the eye and following the bulk of the cut around the corners.
