Corner wrong?

[billozz]

i think I've gone wrong in the corner but can't figure what I've done wrong can someone tell me please.

 

[billozz]

I think it might be the ones I've marked but not sure

 

[billozz]

If I have cocked up, have I got to remove tiles or can I rescue it?

You’re o.k. That left hand column just gets treated as a ‘ stand alone block’, and you’ve continued the front and sides of it to make the same ‘brick’.
It just looks odd with the two colours, but it’s right.

 

[billozz]

Thanks so much for the reply I really appreciate it, I want sure if the 2 tiles I marked should have continued adding the corner, can you suggest how I continue with the next lot of times please should I use full tiles on the next column or use half tiles anywhere

I'd use a tile cut to size under the edge of the cupboard, then full tiles in the sequence already established along the other wall, with an edging strip down the inner wall to match up the outer one on that column you've marked.

An edging step on the inner wall?

An edging step on the inner wall?

yes. It'll smooth out the join with the cut tiles opposite.

What about pattern on the next wall full time at the bottom then half then full etc?

How do I continue with the brick bond pattern? Can I use a half time at the bottom then full then half etc?

It depends on how your tiles fit into the length of that untiled wall going left. It could be you start in the middle of that wall, ( which is normal) so that the two ends are the same size of tile.
So, we don’t know the size of that tile going into the corner, but it’s deffo red. Then the rest are full tiles. Then the same brick bond going up.
I would clean that wall up a bit more first, ( before you start tiling on it) you’re going to struggle to not get any “ lippage” on that wall.

Thanks again, What's lip page?

I’d say you ruined it with orange tiles .

 

[robinbanks]

The orange ones you drew a pink line on should be white

You could paint them whiter - tile paint is a thing (but honestly it's only two tiles; knock them off now while the adhesive is recent and use them as templates for the cuts to replace them, scrape the adhesive off and go again). You can continue the pattern on the untiled wall just fine with what you have, just need some cuts

Me personally, I'd have moved the sockets or laid the tiles out so the white sockets were on the white tiles.. they clobber the pattern a bit being on the orange

Thanks again, What's lip page?

where one tile's edges stick up proud of the adjacent tile's edges

you’re going to struggle to not get any “ lippage” on that wall.

Looks reasonable enough to me; remove flaking material, and take out undulations with a little more adhesive. Use a levelling system if not confident in ability.

 

[simplesteve]

Your layout is correct. Those tiles do not need changed.
Whilst not everyone’s personal choice of colour, it should be respected:- to suggest painting tiles halfway through a job is just ludicrous. As is suggesting getting the sockets to land on white tiles :- we have no idea how many other sockets there are or where they are. ( or even if those are the final socket fronts )
The wall might be clean enough for larger tiles, or for when you can vary the adhesive bed slightly to avoid lippage - but with these metros you have no chance if the wall is not flat.
And as for using a levelling system on small thin ceramic tiles on a wall ……..
( which are probably fixed with ‘bucket’ / pre-mixed adhesive )
