Hi, i am in the middle of of retiling my bathroom as the previous tiles which were tiled over the original tiles were all loose as you know from my previous posts on here, i have reboarded all the walls with moisture resistant plasterboard and have made a start on shower wall, however i have discovered a major problem that half of the tile boxes are from a different batch so the sizes varied by 3mm which has put the job to a stop and has ****ed me off, the tiles on the shower wall as you will see on the pictures are actually 200x253mm instead of being 200x250 as they say on their box, the other batch are the correct size but obviously there is a 3mm difference with is a life time where tiles are concerned and the finish would never look right.
However now i am considering ditching the tiling if i cannot get same batch as the tiles on the shower wall, if i can't get them annoyingly i will probably have to take them all off but if that is the case i will just get wall panels. This has really ****ed me why are they not all the same size they say on their boxes? Both boxes despite being from different batches say they are 250x200 so that is the size i am expecting them to be! But no half are 3mm bigger how on earth am i supposed to work with this?
Anyway this is where got with the tiling before i had to stop, this is the shower wall i have tiled be brutality honest how does this tiling look from a professionals point of view is it acceptable or just an eyesore bear in mind its obviously not grouted yet i am curious to know? This is my first time at tiling a bathroom btw.
