    Finishing off bath edge

In an ideal world we could have got a bigger bath or boxed it in with a stud wall but neither option would have worked given out limited space all round. What’s the best way to finish this gap between the bath and wall? I was thinking...

    Silicon between tiles and bath, I didn't bevel it, bad idea?

    I finished tiling my bathroom and used BAL Silicon matching the grout along the 4mm gap between the tiles and bathtub, I used a Fugi tool with 90 degree edge as I thought it looked nicer and was easier to tool than using the curved edge. Is this a bad idea, I assume water will sit closely along...

    I’m tiling around a bath. The backing board is ply and is slightly wobbly. Should I secure it before I start tiling? The trouble is if I secure it then it’s not level as the bottom of the backing board sticks out slightly. If I leave it slightly wobbly then I will get a straighter...
