Yeah, Ive read through the sticky, but still not sure if i should try to continue the pattern around the wall or treat each wall individually. and also should opposing walls be mirror images?

Hi, Im about to start tiling the shower enclosure, and want some advise on the best way to do this. The shower cubicle is 3 sided, walk in type. I have an 1400x800mm tray, so 2 walls at 800mm x 2000mm and 1 of 1400x2000mm. I have a thermostat shower, which is concealed on one of the...

I installed the bath myself, and with it been the 1st ive ever done its LEVEL, i offered it up to the enclosure at least 15 times, made 1/4 turn adjustments on the feet and even checked it was level in all directions with another spirit level.......... Thats when i realised that even a "pro"...

My bath and shower are totally level, so im wondering if i should start with a tile of the tub/shower i was thinking with a 5mm spacer? or batton it off and put 3/4 of a tile down to the tub/tray? Should you always tile off the batton, then finish down to the tub when dry? im only using...

If you had a proper survey done (more than a valuation/homebuyers report) then you should be insured against this and be able to make a claim, however I doubt you'll get very far, but would be worth a letter, i made a claim on a guarentee once and they were more than happy to sort it out.

Thanks, thats great info!!!! Just what i needed, might have a look on the website for other fittings, fortunatly my shower is a TC so that should have good instructions.

No instructions really, well the ones that come with it are nothing to do with the bath. and definatly dont say where the feet go. Ive rung the company and they responded with "any professional plummer should be able to fit it" Well a) im not a professional plummer b) I bought it to...

Ive just heard back from the supplying company and they say that the baseboard is encapsulated in the bath.... thought as much. However, its an 1800mm bath, at what distances would it be best to fit the supporting feet? Andy
