I had to do that for my parent's wet room, albeit with slightly smaller tiles. What I did was have the centre of the tile joins running to the centre of the drain so it was symmetrical, although I had to make sure that it didn't leave me with silly narrow strips by the walls or the edges of the shower tray fall. However, I can see a truly symmetrical cut in both directions won't work with those sized tiles. In all, I found it something of a nightmare to get it right. with rather smaller tiles then you have to line up diagonal cuts in two rows each side. Also, the shower fal area was rectangular, so the cuts were not 45 degrees and their had to be cuts where the fall started. Something to be planned before buying the tiles I think, and maybe larger tiles are easier. I have my own bathroom to do some time.
Good video im using mosaics on my bathroom if youve any tips 😀. With the steel and plastic plastic drain you turned round did you glue this in or just tile adhesive round ?
Very very nice mate , and also very interesting , do some flooring myself , had a situation though , the last floor we tiled just popped up after 4 or 5 years , it was on the first floor of a new garage extension , seems like the beam and the concrete under it have settled after time and tensioned the tiles up .. I got footage of it when they pop up lol it’s crazy
Chears mate 👍👍👍Nice would like to see that. I had a job about 3 years ago with under floor heating that had popped it bloody nightmare when it they do. This was a wood floor👍👍👍
I have an outdated wet room that I'd like to revamp on a budget. It currently has vinyl flooring installed. Can tiles be fitted on top of the hard floor?
Hi mark. Great job. Quick question mate. That metal fascia bit of the waste that its flush with the tile.... do you have to solvent weld that in too or do you just slot it in? Cheers mate
@@RobBoFr cheers mate .no it just a top it slots in a plastic gully thing so it can be removed if you get a blockage 👍👍like the top of an outside drain that you can remove
Yere 2 fit in and 2 dident. I just cut them with my small 4 inch grinder. Good look I am sure you will do a grate job. The key is to spend time on it. I took a full day just setting out and getting cuts right 👍👍👍
Very nice... I'm doing this with a smaller tiles and working in a tiny space was a pain in the ass! How did you create the bowl then... did you put more adhesive around the edges and press harder around the drain? Or is it just cutting the tiles like that creates the bowl effect? Cheers Che
Looks good.. one thing I was wondering is that when you cut the tile in the tray aren’t the edges razor sharp? I worry catching your feet on that would be painful… or do you file the edges down ? I haven’t seen anyone explain that part
Awesome, as a beginner I was looking for a video like this. As my floor is donstairs concrete slab. Anyone know if you put anything like plastic under the tiles if on a concrete slab. Currently it is a vinyl type of wet room I want to pull up.
Hi mate I think they do. Do something for it that goes on and up the wall. I usley going into a tilling shop and ask. They now all the best stuff to use 👍👍👍
I'm working on a bathroom with a wet room and I'm putting a plywood floor down to get the level of the tray and floor support. Do you use a thin set or anything when you tile onto a plywood floor? TIA
Did you cut the tile on the left of the drain? So you've got 2 600mm tiles either side of a cut ? If so it's done wrong sorry to be a killjoy like but the floor tiles don't match on the rest of the floor 🤦
Thank u came in here as my builders are f*cking upsi bad. 4wks and re-up 4/half the tiles as it was so wrong water running out of bathroom after 30 seconds ;-(
If I had any money, I’d invite you to my place and do the same thing in my bathroom. And since I live in France, you could also take a well-deserved vacation:)

@@TheEulerID nice .yes I think larger are easier.i done one in pebble witch was easy to get the fall but a lot of cuts 👍👍
Simple, best explanation so far
Cheers mate thanks a lot 👍👍👍👍

Tip top mate.

Chears tim. Yere was a bit worried with the size but looked great when in 👍👍👍

@@adamburke4139 hi mate I just adhiseve up to the plastic.dont grout the metal in because you need it to come out for cleaning it 👍👍
Doing great mate tiling can be a pain youve done a sweet job here
Chears mate we doing a few extras on this Job now looking good so far 👍👍👍

I have an outdated wet room that I'd like to revamp on a budget. It currently has vinyl flooring installed. Can tiles be fitted on top of the hard floor?
Hi mate. If its concrete then yes. If its chip board I would put some backer boards down. Then you know the tiles won't move. 👍
Thank you for your reply! It's vinyl flooring that has been installed, would tiles be OK to fit on top of that please?
@@TaliiTee hi. No don't fit on top of vinyl they will come loose. Pritty much straight away 👍
Do you bed the tiles around the drain slightly lower in the middle to aid gravity and drainage
Hi there. Yes it had a tray in underneath that was slanted to the drain 👍👍👍
Hi mark. Great job. Quick question mate. That metal fascia bit of the waste that its flush with the tile.... do you have to solvent weld that in too or do you just slot it in? Cheers mate
@@RobBoFr cheers mate .no it just a top it slots in a plastic gully thing so it can be removed if you get a blockage 👍👍like the top of an outside drain that you can remove
@markhep sound mate. So I just push it down then grout up to it?
@@RobBoFr yes 👍
Thanks for the video. Gonna attempt this myself. How do you cut the tile in the cutter when its diagonal. Will it be too big to fit in?
Yere 2 fit in and 2 dident. I just cut them with my small 4 inch grinder. Good look I am sure you will do a grate job. The key is to spend time on it. I took a full day just setting out and getting cuts right 👍👍👍
Very nice... I'm doing this with a smaller tiles and working in a tiny space was a pain in the ass!
How did you create the bowl then... did you put more adhesive around the edges and press harder around the drain?
Or is it just cutting the tiles like that creates the bowl effect?
Cheers
Che
Nice on .yes you can do it like that .just slope the tile .we used a tray that was under the floor that had a slope in the tray
Looks good.. one thing I was wondering is that when you cut the tile in the tray aren’t the edges razor sharp? I worry catching your feet on that would be painful… or do you file the edges down ? I haven’t seen anyone explain that part
Hi mate yes if they are Sharp a rub with sand paper usually works. I always try and have the grout flush with the top too👍👍👍
Sweet job mate
Thanks Mark been pointing and grinding this week week bloody cold now the shorts have gone 😂😂😂👍👍👍
@@markhep sure thay have its thermals for me 🥶🥶🥶🥶
@@markdwyer100 Yere think I will be the same same soon. Lol

Hi mate I think they do. Do something for it that goes on and up the wall. I usley going into a tilling shop and ask. They now all the best stuff to use 👍👍👍
@@markhep Thanks a million!
What floor grout / sealant do you use in-between all tiles on the floor. Is it a particular type?
Hi mate if you go in to a tilling shop is the best bet. Just ask them they will give you the best stuff for it thats what I do 👍👍👍
Thanks Lad ............ Nice 1 .that helped
No problem 👍👍👍
Hey up Mark..... are the walls just skimmed up down to the tanking tape? Or did you tank the walls before tiling them? Great job.
Hi mate it was plastered first we did the tanking after 👍👍👍
Mint m8. You must be one of the best all rounders on RUclips 😎😎😎😎👈🤝🏴🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧

@@Marshalltoon 😂😂😂😂👍
Good work
Chears postman👍👍👍
Did you do the diagonal cuts with the tile cutter or with a grinder? Nice work!
Hi mate I did them with tile cutter but you can use grinder. Bug it a bit harder to keep them straight 👍👍👍
I'm late to this one Mark. Belter of a job....making it look a lot easier than it actually is. Hope you are doing well, bud. 👍
Chears mate. Yere there definitely quite a bit of setting out on this one. Yere I and grate mate. Hope you enjoy the weekend 👍👍👍
Mint job mate, can’t be far off finished now surely?👍🏽
Chears mate yere nearly done 👍👍👍
I'm working on a bathroom with a wet room and I'm putting a plywood floor down to get the level of the tray and floor support. Do you use a thin set or anything when you tile onto a plywood floor? TIA
I would just prime it with tile primer first 👍
Anti fracture matting or cement board, dont tile straight on ply
@@gard7662 cement board isn't strong enough for an upstairs bathroom tho well especially the crap floor that's down lol
@@richierich4175 screw it to the ply. Awful amount of bathroom floors ive seen tiled on ply. It dont last.
Did you cut the tile on the left of the drain?
So you've got 2 600mm tiles either side of a cut ?
If so it's done wrong sorry to be a killjoy like but the floor tiles don't match on the rest of the floor 🤦
Yes mate they were all cut and folded in on the drain
NICE
Thanks mate 👍👍👍
Thank u came in here as my builders are f*cking upsi bad. 4wks and re-up 4/half the tiles as it was so wrong water running out of bathroom after 30 seconds ;-(
O my not good
Didn't know Jonny Vegas was a tiler
😂😂😂😂👍
Thats a diy tile cutter
It is mate . honestly I really like it lol👍👍
If I had any money, I’d invite you to my place and do the same thing in my bathroom.
And since I live in France, you could also take a well-deserved vacation:)
