Tiler

I don't know your personal circumstances but have you thought about doing it yourself if you are truly desparate? Once you got the first straight line going it is quite easy with using the spacers. You need a good pair of snippers for cutting and a smoothing stone and you are away. You can use a combined adhesive and grout or separate.

Getting a jobber who will actually turn up on time is quite hard around here and you might save a lot of money. I learnt by just wading in, if a tile is a bit wonky it is amazing what a good going over with grout can do.

My mother did hers when she was 70.....and they are still on 10 years later! Go on and have a bash. You learn by your mistakes. The library will give you a DIY book that shows you how it's done.

With that size of tiles, you must have either a very large bathroom, or quite a lot of waste-age.:eek:
