[Closed] Bathroom Tile-Trackworld??

As a tiler, I'd tile the whole, except the ceiling area if full height tiling.

I've recently had my bathroom done. We did floor and went up one wall with wood effect tiles.

I don't know if it's possible, but I'd look at, wood effect tile floor, continue up that wall in wood effect and the lowered ceiling. might look too much tho, or daft.

I'd do it like this.

Keep the top edge of the tiles all the same height to create a strong visual line around the tiled area. I'd keep a tiled bathtub style skirting continuing around the rest of the room. Also I'd replace the cabinet with shelves for towels and toiletries.

Just as an aside, if you are going to tile throughout, then def. employ a good tiler who fits bathroom suites, rather than a plumber who claims they can do your tiling as well.

^ very much this.

I'm a 20 Year (23 actually) time served Tiler, who later got into Kitchen and Bathroom fitting.   There's actually very little complicated plumbing in a Bathroom refit, but there's plenty of opportunity for making a hash of the tiling that you're going to see all the time.

I know a few local plumbers that offer Bathroom (and Kitchen strangely) fitting services and they cant tile for sh**.

@blazin cheers for thoughts.

@nana thanks we've got wood effect tile planks for the main floor they look lovely great mix of colour, but think it may be too much to go up the pillar with the floor tiling, then mixing the black in too on wall.

@muppet don't suppose you could knock that design sorcery mock up on this image with tiles going up the pillar as you walk in and along the side ceiling overhang?

I do like the idea you posted so far though.

@nana + blazing cheers, got a dedicated bathroom fitter, work looks top notch.:)

No worries. Here you go.

Thanks Muppet, I rather like that ! lol

Thanks for the help, its come out lovely! Just needs some grout and clean action now.

you forgot the bath 😉

Looks fab

Tiles look great, but first instinct was that door looks all wrong against the slate black tiles (often difficult to judge from photos). Would be interested to see what it all looks like with wood effect floor tiles, might change everything.

I'm also in the middle of tiler in the house, having my shower area done to match the bathroom (couldn't afford having it all done at once, bathroom was done 12 months ago). Grout  and shower set will be done on Monday

@DD lol

@Fossy thanks

@nana cheers, the doors were acid dipped by previous owners many years back, not really give them a thought, but possibly white egshell?

Those wood effect tiles look great! Any other pics of rest of bathroom?

These are the colours going down

Have they tiles down to the floor and then intend to tile up to the walls with the floor tiles?  Usually you put the floor under the last cut to the floor, so the joint doesn't crack out.  make sure if they're doing it like that, they use a colour matched silicone in the joint as it WILL crack without.

Personally, I always tile the floor 1st then cover it down with Correx then wall tile down to that, or tile the wall's and leave the bottom cut out until the floor has gone down, but that makes setting up the metal trims difficult.

B.A.Nanna - Just check the instructions for your shower valve, normally you tile closer to the rough part set in the wall so you can silicone seal it before the Shower set goes on.  Your's of course could be different as I normally fit Hansgrohe iBox.

Both look good BTW!

where are those wood effect tiles from?

and I quite like the door was going to ask if it was original or a replacement.  I have a Hodge podge of random doors and want to put period ones back in

Any decent tile outlet should have a range, they're fairly standard stuff I presumed. I just went with what the guy held in stock, other stuff (like cruzcampo picture) was upto 6 weeks order

re doors, I did same exercise some years ago and matched all internal doors in reclaimed stripped pine 4 panel (edwardian?). Took about 6-8 months of several visits to same reclaimed pine furniture co. also I maybe found some on ebay. had one door taken apart and scaled down to fit a tiny pantry entrance.

cruzcampo

once the wood effect tile floor and bathroom suite goes in, the door will  not look out of place. Also internal doors depend on whole of the house look, not just against one room. I've got the same reclaimed stripped pine doors btw

@nana Yours looks fantastic! All upstairs has the acid dipped doors, so i'd probably only paint the back of the door if I do, but like you say once planks are down will look different again

Forgot to post the completed pics!

Looks well.  Matki door too? they're a sod to fit aren't they?!

Thanks. I didn't know the brand as bathrooms.com rebadged it, as they did with all the other bits. The fitter said the shower was an absolute pig to fit and not to open for 24 hours whatsoever, guess the silicone setting right is a must on these.

Seems super solid I have to say, given the extreme lack of supporting frame, was dubious when I first seen it in the flesh!
