Bathroom tiling queries

Hi

As I said in my intro I'm a DIYer and have a little previous experience of tiling - a few floors and the bathroom in my last house. I live in Northern Ireland.

I'm now doing the bathroom in my current home and have a couple of questions.

1. I'm laying ceramic floor tiles and the hallway floor is oak parquet. I'm not too worried about the slight change in level but would like suggestions about how to finish the join. Do I need to get some sort of threshold strip? Would Silicon be adequate to finish the small gap between the two?

2. Looking at the fabulous pictures on the site - I probably shouldn't as I'll only be disappointed with my results in comparison - I see most of you tile directly onto the bath and finish with Silicon and it looks great. I used a bath seal strip on the bath in my last house and had intended to do so again. Is the way you guys do it a lot harder to do - should I just stick to the bath seal?

Any and all advice welcome. :smilewinkgrin:
 
Just thinking 365drills - the kit you recommended includes diamond tipped drill bits for drilling tiles, yes? If so can you recommend a UK based internet supplier as I'll need to drill the floor tiles for the bath panel fixings. Thanks.

That would be us!

Thats what we do / sell

Just bumping some of the older popular (sometimes not so popular) threads. Probably wont be current discussion these days but I just need to do it. So just ignore the thread if it's not current for you.
