Mapping out tiles is a vital part of the process when it comes to getting things accurate, especially with the raised shower tray presenting an obstacle, it still needs to line up. We find the best starting point to avoid slivers and little fillets of tile. Then it’s laying the full tiles with adhesive, making any cuts and dry laying all the cuts to make sure it’s spot on. I’m a carpenter by trade but I do enjoy tiling!

Dry laying tiles makes it so much easier when it comes to the final stage. Once everything is cut and dry laid, it’s as simple as adding adhesive. No need to stick a tile down just to realise it’s not quite cut right and have to clean it up again!

Mapping out is very important! It’ll usually takes two or three goes to find the right starting point but it’s by far the best way to end up with no little fillets of tile anywhere. Better to spend a few hours getting it bang on than being able to see you’ve rushed it forever! Using a laser is the easiest way to get the pattern to line up in the shower tray. Lastly, do a small area with cuts as well, this gives us our starting point for laying with adhesive

Getting centres right is so important! You’ll see it in the final result of you don’t put in a little extra work at the start
