Old gas fireplace insert getting tiled. Hoping to get an electric stove in there, but tight on space. Plasterer knew this, so didn’t go out the extra cm(ish) and said we can tile over it with a bit thicker adhesive and it should be fine.
Finally got around to tiling and didn’t realise it stuck out so far and protrudes a mm or 2 more than the tile thickness.
Partner just wants to notch out the tile so pipe is still visible as it’s the easiest option but I think it’ll look rubbish. To just tile over it, we’ll end up with a very obvious bulge.
Any thoughts on how we tile this? Can you carve out the back of a tile?
