Not bad Robbie. A little advice for the future if I may be so bold - try and avoid thin slithers at wall corners. That internal corner pokes you right in the eye.
If you've any tiles (or pieces of tile) left over it'd look more finished off if you boxed over the sink waste pipe and tiled it.
Now just a shower screen and a bog roll holder and you're all set.

Thanks. I'd read your sticky about tiling after this and realised i should have started in the middle of a wall and cut into the corners. My wife said i should have tiled over the waste pipe aswell

That's funny, I'm pretty sure you would have been aware of the sticky as you were posting in the tiling forum in April 2007 //www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=576012#576012 - I posted the sticky earlier than that.
You were giving out advice then, but clearly you didn't know "Jack" then and judging by your photographic evidence, you haven't learnt anything of value since.

Harsh!

Looks good to me! You'll always find something you could have done better once you finish, but I'd be more that happy if that were my bathroom!

I had only just joined the forum at that time and didnt know too much about "stickys". Sorry i asked now.

Lovely job Robbie for a diy effort.

I like your tiles. How much a sq meter do they work out at?

The tiles were £13.50 for a box of 7 from Wickes. The border was cut from a 12"x12" square for only £20.

You didn't know much about tiling either but it didn't stop you giving out duff advice at the time.

Sorry i asked now.

I should coco.

This aside, you have similar taste in tiles as I have, so raspeck.

Looks good to me.
Although I have to ask I hope you have some tiles left over?
If the bath waste ever starts leaking you gonna need to gain access to it.

 

[Robbie uk]

The bottom tile to the left of the bath has minimal adhesive behind it and there is a square hole cut into the ply behind to gain access to the trap and shut off valves.

Nice to see some forward planning, well done
