tiling shower tray and rest of wall

Post by handyandy »

installed a shower tray, now going to tile it and the rest of the wall, do I start from the tile tray and then work up and across the rest of the wall, or would I do a straight line above so doing the whole wall and then come down to the top of the tray?

ta in advance

work out your cuts to the top of the ceiling, if by using a full tile from the tray ( assuming it is just a shower cubicle?) the cuts are too small ie: less than 1/3 of the size you are using, then set out to a decent cut at the top and batten where the first course will start, tile, then when gone off, remove batten and put bottom cuts in ( if tanked then use Rubi stands or similiar to hold level to tile off ) hope thats clearer than mud on a cloudy day, with cracked specs, no honestly, that's the way :thumbright:
