[QUOTE="SteveCW, post: 988212, member: 60597"] [ATTACH type="full"]127699[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]127700[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]127701[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]127702[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]127703[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]127704[/ATTACH][B]Hello, this is my first post so here goes, advice needed. It was decided that I should renovate the shower cubicle, it started with just a new shower mixer as the last one was only hot, it turned into a bit of a Pandora’s box resulting in going back to the stud frame, replacing the floor, re-routing copper pipes and fitting a new tray and then boarding out with Marmox boards, I then tanked it with a few heavy coats of tanking fluid. I calculated I would need 87 tiles and found a nice discounted batch of four boxes of 25 plus four or five loose, I decided this should be enough based on several different calculators and adding around 10%. Once all the prep was done regarding centre lines and batoning I started tiling off a baton lining up the existing pattern and fitted the tiles from the first box, 2 were broken in the box, I opened up the second box and a further nine were broken, I then decided to open the last two boxes and a further 10 were chipped or had corners missing! It now dawned on me that I may not have enough tiles, I will be able to salvage cuts from some if not all of the damaged and broken ones so it will be close. Advice on where to look for more of the same, the tile warehouse I got them from thinks they are quite old so can’t get more, so can anyone think of anywhere I could look and or options to finish the job with different tiles, I guess I should have checked them all first🤦♂️[/B] [/QUOTE]
