What made you read all this rather than just asking the tile

Arf. I like to find out what people who know what they are doing
think. Not what the ill-informed think.


Is that directed at me ?

Think it's to me.


Well I thought that Dave, but it started "Arf" so that's why I took it to be
aimed at me ...



If so, I suggest that you read the headers as
to who posted what, a little more carefully ... I have actually said
nothing to you, that wasn't polite, and didn't reflect real life
experience, gained over many years of - well - real life really ...

It was you who threw the word "bodger" in my direction, as I recall.

He's been told by several here that at least certain brands of tub
adhesive are fine with tiles larger than 300 x 300mm - including me. I
have a large bathroom with the walls totally tiled with ones bigger than
that - and heavy floor porcelain ones at that. And since they've been up
for over a year I hardly expect any problems now.

If he's found a maker of adhesive who's help line says it's not suitable -
use another make. I used Homebase own brand which was on offer at the
time.

Given how common large tiles are these days I'd expect a warning on the
tub if it wasn't suitable - like they do for porcelain.
