    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...

    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...
