    My 1st Job Huge gap left in corner.

    Hey guys, New here, and very new to tiling. But I had to take over from the job that was being done, as it was taking far too long and in all honesty, looks to be wrong! In the corner, I have tiles that do no marry. Resulting in varied sizes of gaps. So, do I cut tiny bits of tiles to fill...

    15mm gap between end of bath and wall

    The bath is about 15mm less than the space from wall to wall that it sits in. I was going to just put a upvc bullnose trim or a bit of quadrant on the top and that would fix most of it, but how do you address the vertical gap at the end of the bath panel, especially and the panel has a slight...

    Having just put in a low level shower tray on my own and as a lay person I am not satisfied with the gapping at one side. I now feel it has settled not tight enough but seems to a least to be level enough in everyother way and to the other wall so I am looking to claw back several MM. Rather...
