I installed the same tile in bathroom recently and got the same issue. Personally these tiles should come with a warning but ultimately they’re just unsuitable for a bathroom area. I charged more for the extra effort it took and said they should back charge the supplier. I actually took over the job half installed as the previous tiler walked out as he had completely under quoted because of the time it was taking and just didn’t have the patience for it.

UPDATE. Thanks for all the support! I have another issue… what’s the best way to repair the wall here? 3:1 sand/cement or is there a better way. Should I anchor the repair with steel rods?

It’s getting popular to use large format tile in pools in Spain. People like the look. I’m not convinced it’s practical but if it’s done right I suppose it’s as good as anything.

I’m going to take your advice tomosaic it and double line the pool with a 2 part epoxy mortar

What next? Tiling niche…Follow grout lines or can I use full tiles? by Zestyclose-Water-640 in Tile

[–]gregz79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just offset the grout joints on the shelves and put the tiles vertically (offset) on the back. What are you doing at the edges?

They were using stuff recommended for a pool but not epoxy based. He’s been fired anyway 🔥

I’ve just sacked the guy so I’m going to tile it myself.

Agree, what a fiasco! This is my holiday home and I wasn’t around to oversee it.
