Make a bath tub and tile it - Tile Advice

[Balloo]

I have an interior designer asking me can I make a bath and tile it .
Has anyone else done this .
Looking for some advice

Wedi, Marmox and a couple of other manufacturers make foam encapsulated cement boards in different shapes and configurations. You can then tile these in mosaic, but not an easy task!!

@MissTiler is our resident mosaic expert who I believe has done one before

It’s been done in large format thin tile too.

That looks like a wet room drain marc, how does that close off to become a bath ?

There's probably a valve made from Unicorn horn controlled by a flux capacitor behind a touch panel.

Secret! That's where the big money is made.

People who can make bespoke baths I guess!

You can quite easily incorporate a concealed pop-up plug below the tiles.

You wouldn't be messing around with pop up plugs, you would use one of these....

Electric Actuated PVC Ball Valve with Polyamide Actuator - https://www.valvesonline.co.uk/electric-actuated-pvc-ball-valve-with-plastic-actuator.html

Saw it done last year in the hydro pool at the physiotherapy centre I attended. I got chatting to the guy there who showed me their setup. Learnt a thing or two there that could easily be integrated into the domestic bathroom or wet room
