New large shower tiles. Yay or Nay?

Question

Just finished the shower! Used to be ugly yellow subway tiles and a pink tub. I put 4x2 foot tiles down and reglazed the tub white. These tiles are probably meant for floors but I think came out pretty cool. What do you think?

Laying the 2x4 foot tiles was much quicker then the little subway tiles. Tiles were only $200 from Floor and Decor. The tub finish was $50. Glass frameless door was $260 from Home Depot (I'd normally skip the glass hopefully tenants don't destroy it too quickly). Fixture got on sale at Lowes $70.

For the kitchen counter tops I am using the middle stone and replacing old cabinets with white shakur from lowes which I got 20% off for $900 and counter top $800 installed for small kitchen....

It's called Tub and Tile it's a kit at home depot. Trick is need to clean the tub really well multiple times with the chemical and then do layers of glaze.

Mike Franco · Answer

yeah I'm curious about the glaze. Link the product. And does it work on porcelain metal tubs?

Large tiles are good, though I see some fitment issues, like lippage. And the edge should have been a metal edge, like those Schluter edgings, rather than that large bead of silicone.

Yay, for sure. From a practical point, I think larger tiles are better since they provide a lot less joints where moisture can eventually sneak through. Yours came out looking great. What kind of tub finish did you use?
