Can anyone enlighten me, I'm assuming there is some special technique?
Just though of something else I did that made tiling a curved
floor easier -- I used smaller tiles, 200x200mm. I used them
because I thought they look nicer than the more common size, but
this would also make it easier to follow curved surfaces, and you
have 50% more grout lines available for making any micro adjustments.
OTOH, you need over twice as many tiles, so it takes twice as long
to lay, but I was very pleased with the effect -- it made a small
room look bigger.
Normal advice is to use large tiles to make a room look bigger.
Presumably the falls are planar, so the OP effectively has four
triangular surfaces rising away from the drain? In which case, all you
need to do is to cut the tiles to match the falls, as it were, i.e.
there will need to be a diagonal cut made so that the tiles don't cross
the four intersecting lines that seperate the planes.
£500 for the sealing kit seems very expensive, for the archives. I'm
sure BAL WP1 would have come in cheaper, or a mix of wediboard and WP1
to seal the joins.
