Bevelled tile above the bath.

[Drifterjoe]

Hi guys,

Happy new year.
First time posting here think the forum is a fantastic source of information and advice.

Doing a bathroom in bevelled metro tile. The bath tub is level so would you choose to start the layout with a full tile from Bath up (I'd still start tiling one tile above and leave a 2mm space at the bath). The layout looks fine where it runs down to the floor.

Seems like it would look better and make for a cleaner silocone line against the bath as it won't be going in and out with the bevelled ends.

Cheers Joe.

Can't see a problem doing that..

Hi and welcome to the forum Joe,
as long as it works with every other horizontal line in the room, like windows, ceiling, boxing, basin etc, then why not.

Be kool if you'd introduce yourself HERE
then members can determine the correct level of advice to give, good luck.

Cheers for the replies.

Will do an intro post.

Thanks.

Hi guys one last question about setting out. If I follow the pattern and wrap the tiles around the corner of the bath the patern isn't centred above the bath taps and shower. Should I center the tilling above the taps and work outwards doing my best to get the best wrap effect I can?
Not sure if centreing is as important as it's brick bond but wondered what you would do?

The bond to the corners is more important. Set out so you don't end up with slithers.
