i know a chap who mentioned similar scenario to me approx 12mth ago job done and decided to risk it it and keep them....... they are still up!! Solid porcelain, 600x300 he used TUBBED GEAR just beacause the tub said porcelain. Im not agreeing this is right but its your own calculated...

cheers boys always interesting when you get to try something new, its amazing how a piece of board can get u all geared up for the job haha........ or is that just me :D

Hi chaps, Any tips of skimming over this stuff as ive read the techical data to it and it says just skim with either board/multi finish with no prep. Got a job of blocking a through loung into 2 rooms with a stud wall and was after some soundproofing. Would you use soundboard plus...

Is that just for labour...... steep in my opinion. Not saying dont pay that but hes probably busy anyway so threw a high price in and if he gets the job BONUS.

thats exactly the reason i asked how much he was charged.

how much did the job cost???

its good that youve covered things up but to be blunt...... you shouldnt have to!! thats their job. Its shocking when we hear stories like this but stand your ground on this .

how did you hear of these guys, paper, friend, van etc???? When you say going to look at it few days into the process....... im assuming the house is empty, your not living there??? if so how can he say they was already there........... clearly that makes the brother to blame????? Stand...

all sounds good, definately on the right path. I do tend to prefer brush corners but everyone has their own style, as long as it looks good once finished. ignore the "glass finish" i hear that so much about how people are proud of the glass finish, not needed and a nightmare to paint...

hard to say without assesing it first, you say your house has been rendered........ didnt the guys advise you whilst they were there??

yep sure can, as rich describes. be careful though as tiles are already on wall, nice steady hand :D

i know what your saying rich but i find an extra hour a day doing extras ends up 5/6 hours extra work per week (and i like to get home to diynot :wink: ),and when you find they have no flexis to the taps and water inlet on toilet, just old rigid copper painted pipes connected and no iso valves...

depends on budget really, remove basin/toilet will cost extra and need to be fixed in again because the height difference.... 5mm plus adhesive. or if tiler is any good then its not difficult to cut around them then apply thin silicone, much easier in my opinion but i can cut tiles to shape :D

he wants to dryline the walls............. do they need doing? if so why use 9.5mm when you have 12.5 available, if your unsure go to nearest B&Q and feel the flex in them both and compare. is he a recommended "plasterer" id get 3 quotes always and dont always accept the cheaper quote :)

if needed sealing then you would of done so before grouting....... if the grout hasnt stained tiles then shouldnt need sealing, but i still seal grout in shower/bath areas as soaps, shampoos, fake tans, hair-dyes etc are used everyday and can easily stain the grout :D

agree with roy, i dont turn small jobs away because they lead to bigger jobs and more customer base which is what we strive to achieve. no customers = no money!!

how longs a piece of string.............. its not straight skimming the wall as its brick! lots of ways to do it just depends on what you want and what your plasterers advise you. but 2 days work is an average i think on what you have described. get 3 quotes and dont always choose the...

use filling knives also, come if all different sizes :wink:
