If the rest of the house matches the kitchen you've done yourself proud Rocky. Thanks. I’ve done my best. It’s not perfect but that’s ok. It’s home until I die I think. I’ve still got 7 internal doors to fit & then they need painting which will be really boring. What's the floor covering and who fitted that? Personally I find floors more awkward than walls to work on. |

What's the floor covering and who fitted that? Personally I find floors more awkward than walls to work on. I went for grey tiles. I put electric underfloor heating down. The heating is ok. Nothing spectacular but that’s ok. I also tiled the rear hallway. I’m no tiler & I find it hard & slow. Like everything if I practiced enough id be good at it.     |

Yeah I was trying with my manual cutter. It was mostly ok but quite a few didn't break cleanly. I got a sigma - supposed to be a good one but I still struggled. As for value I agree. In fact I've just done my bathroom with tiles from Wickes and I basically picked their cheapest matt, grey, 600x300 tile. It was £9 a sqm and that was before my 10% discount ! I paid a fair bit more (£17 or £19 I can't remember) for the kitchen gloss tiles but that is still a lot cheaper than the fancy tile shops. |

My mate showed me how he did it. A few good passes & they break easy.? |

It's so boring but the music might help  |
