    How to cover the gap at one side of bath?

    HI, we are redoing our bathroom and looking for a second opinion. We are having an issue with the bathtub fitting snugly to the wall, as our wall seems to not be a 90 degree angle. There is 2cm gap at one side as shown on the picture with red line. What are the options to cover the gap?

    Expansion grout gap

    Hi I’ve tiled my bathroom floor on top of hardie cement board. I have left expansion gaps all around the wall when I layed cement board. When I grout my floor tiles the grout is going to pour down all the edges into expansion gaps. Is this ok as the grout is flexible? Any help would be...

    Tile gap between shower tray and tile

    Hi all, just tiled one of two sides of my shower tray but I’ve left a 7mm gap at the base. Technically and mechanically is this too big? I’d rather not try and redo the bottom row of tiles 🙄 Behind, the plasterboard primed, then Silicon sealed then tanking tape then tanking paint before...

    Gap between trim and wall

    Hi, I have an issue here. My tiler has left a gap between the trim and the wall. No doubt the wall wasn’t true. I have put some pics of this, but it’s hard to show well. The gap can be up to 6mm in places. Two questions: 1 is this common practice? I would have thought that walls were...

    Crazy gap between shower metal frame and tiled wall

    Hello and thanks for your time. When the shower metal frame (that will hold the glass wall) is placed plumb along the tiled wall, you can see that the tiled wall is uneven. The top and bottom touches the tile wall but in the middle there is a huge 2cm gap between the metal and wall. Basically...

    Poor tiling gap at top of tiles

    Hi I am trying to correct some work performed by my tiler. I have sent photos to him of the things I’m not happy with but he can’t see the issue. The trims are cut awfully? Can we cover these in any way? There is a gap about an inch above the shower wall tiles where he said he couldn’t get a...

    How do I deal with this gap? (re-posting as forgot to attach pic!)

    So, I've tiled most of the wall in my downstairs WC and am left with a narrow floor to ceiling strip at each end of about 25mm (see pic) The majority of this gap will have the flat section of the tile trim so what should I use to stick the tile strips with? I'm assuming the standard tile...

    Gap between the ceiling and tile

    Hi, please looking for some advice, so we had a horrible tiler leave a tiny gap between the tiles and the ceiling, I honestly don't know what to cover it with to make it look seamless. The tiler lied to us and later we found out he's never actually tiled before. Any advice will be appreciated.

    Gap between ceiling and tiles

    Hello, we’ve just had a bathroom tiled. A 1.5cm gap is at the top, between the tiles and ceiling, which has been grouted. I wondered if this was normal? I think it looks slightly odd and worry that such thick grout will crack and look bad over time. I wondered if there was any way of fixing it...

    Best adhesive for very thin gap.

    Hi all I have to replace a handful of quarry tiles on a cement based kitchen floor. I guess a long time ago these tiles were laid directly onto cement (with the cement potentially as the adhesive). I now have thinner tiles so I can relay them onto the concrete only the space between the tile...

    Shower tray / tile gap

    Hi, I have just tiled my bathroom wall and done the last row around the shower tray. I wasn’t sure how much gap to leave but it ranges between 4mm and 5mm. I have tanked the walls and used the Mapei tape also around the shower tray. Are those size gaps ok? Looks like sealant would fill them...

    Bathroom fitters tiling over gap without filling in

    Hi, Had a walk in shower fitted which is currently being tiled. Noticed that the tradesmen are tiling over a corner gap between 2 wallboards without filling it in first. Is this normal practice? Photo attached, the gap is approx 0.5 cm

    Hi all, I live in Cyprus. Bought a new build top floor flat a couple of years ago with a roof garden.

    Gap from last tile before ceiling

    Hi all! Might be an easy question for the pros! I have a 12x14 tile that I am going to vertically stack to the ceiling. Not too fancy. However from the top of the tub to the ceiling is about 76" which would be 3 tiles (about 72" with a little for the 1/16" grout) That would leave about a 3.5"...
