    Awkward DIY Tile round valve

    Hello, how do I go about tiling this area (photos attached)? I need to tile it before the fitter returns. The panel is screwed on but hasn't been plastered. Do I need to level it up with filler? How do I tile around the gaps near the valve? I am concerned about it being waterproof. Thanks, Jim
