Last time I tried to tile a bath, the batten slipped on the wall, and the tiles sloped gracefully into one corner, so I took extra care this time.
The shower was tanked out, as an extra layer of waterproofing.
Before the rest of the plumbing could start, we then had to fit the shower cabinet.
This was a bit scary, as it had two big glass screens. To help matters, we didn't have any instructions, as it was an ex display model.
Adding to the confusion. it came with a bag of nuts and bolts that were nothing to do with it and one of the seals for the bottom of the glass screens was missing as well. It turned out that seals like that are no standard, and the shower screen manufactorer no longer existed, so we had to improvise that bit with silicone.
It took four of us all afternoon to get the glass into its supporting frame, as the rubber seals had gone so hard in the five years that it had been in storage . Not much fun, as we were all afraid that the glass might shatter if we pushed down on it too much.
Getting it vertical, and screwing it together was a comparative doddle after that.
But it does look good, now that it's in
