Aye my experience of one coat was the blue circle stuff from a bygone era, it was like chewing gum to apply, you could only apply it by troweling in one direction.

What would the opinion be on using rapid set https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ instead of one coat to level / patch ?

I use rapid set https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ quite often to patch or build up small areas, depending on thickness you may have to apply several coats.

Will depend a lot on depth and areas to be coated backgrounds together with weight and type of tile to be applied.
There are lots of good fast setting patching mortars and plasters available also.

It’s lovely to see pics of high end work and I sometimes get involved In it but this is bread and butter stuff right here and I’m not ashamed to admit it.

Old lady having a hip replacement done and the old dear won’t be able to get her leg over.......the Bath. Popping a tray in instead and fighting with the space and trying to bond it to the deck so there’s only a tiny step. All good fun :thumbsup:

Same as, it’s nice to do fancy wetrooms with top end gear but I would much rather be doing normal bathrooms in normal houses.
I bet your getting plenty of tea and biscuits too!

My margins are often better on the mid range Bathrooms. Some of the high end work is so labour intensive that you don’t end up making that much.

Target nowadays is under £10k for a full refit.

Thats what I meant about space being tight for boarding out

Yeah you can see the tray overhung the door lining so I had to use the tanking tape and tank over that.

Hopefully the old Dear will be happy.
