r/Tile

Final product of the crazy envelope cut shower I did. Some before during and afters ...... can anyone guess where there is a step down on the baseboard ?!

I asked the contractor and he said we wouldn’t notice it once it’s grouted and blames it on the irregularity of the tile and that the tile was cheap. (It wasn’t that cheap)

Long story short, we raised concerns about our contractor’s plumbing and waterproofing and he quit. He already laid the tile.

Our new contractor said he can cut small slivers to fill those gaps BUT he would need to use the finished edge of each tile, which means he can only get 2 "cuts" out of each 24x24 inch tile, producing a lot of waste. This gap spans the whole bathroom, so we're looking at another $400-$500 in tile just for that.

Does anyone have any other suggestions that would be more cost effective?

Moved into a house and this shower is roughly 2 years old. No caulk I can see anywhere. I’m not a plumber and unsure the methods used to install shower pans and if this looks like it was done right or not. Tile seems to be set well, level, and even.

I have a bathtub in another room already failed but I was able to repair it. I believe this one is much older install. I’d like to get ahead of a failure if all I need is a little caulking.

hi all! I picked up some gorgeous Seneca glazed quarry paver tiles from their tile graveyard in Ohio two years ago and plan on using them as a backsplash. unfortunately, after their factory fire, they no longer produce new stock of this line and don't have any border/edge tiles.

my issue is that the tile is relatively thick, and we've not been able to find a suitable border tile. Am I stuck commissioning a local artist to make tiles, or are there other non-schluter trim options to explore?

Maipei makes a color matched caulk, but I'm worried that will look sloppy.

FYI: tiles will be cleaned/dried prior to install. including pics from when I first got them.

Reached out to floor and decor where the clients bought this tile from and they wernt any help go figure I just wanted to make sure, obviously this gets sealed too but I’ve heard specifically with green marble it needs to be set with epoxy in a wet area but can’t really find anything about it online

I was able to remove a lot of the old tile on this mud bed but there are a decent amount of holes and cracks now in the mud bed. Can this be reused for new tile if I patch the the holes? Or is it better to rip all this out? It still feels pretty solid as a whole.
