I have a insurance job to try and rescue a poorly installed quad shower the customer wants to save the tiling if possible and has a few spare so fingers crossed it may work , the loss adjuster allowed em £1500 that will just about cover materials. Kop

Ohhh the fun non standard sized tiles 😀
You got it Shaun 😭 the thickness is the real problem don't think there's one the same and bent like a banana 🤣 is what it is I guess nothing a grinder can't sort out will put the worst ones aside for replacement. Cheers kop
 
Wouldn't look right on a 300 mm square tile Shaun but I know what your saying bud , I am putting a bed down and back buttering each tile to help level them and using a tile leveling wedge system ball ache but it needs doing won't be perfect but its the rustic cottage look . Regards kop 👍

My personal life is not something I talk about on here but the few I get on quite well with know I haven't been working for some time. This week I have been helping a friend through the heat geek course. It's literally the closest I've come to a heating system in many years 😩.
 
Final push on this one chaps tilngs complete , lifofin used to seal the slate just now , final fix tomorrow . Kop
