edging around bath

[omie_1_kenobi]

Hi I am about to tile around my bath and wondered if people have opinions about the plastic trims you can buy to put around bath before you tile? Also how do I tile in the corners? I read I need to leave a gap between the tiles.
Thanks

By all means use the plastic trims if you want a leaky bath and want to enjoy the yellow/black mould look in 10 months time!

Just leave a 2-3mm gap between tile and top of bath (fill bath with water so it flexes to it's lowest height) and run a bead of sanitary grade Silicon, preferably anti mould, to waterproof gap. Leave to set overnight and empty tub next day.
For internal corners leave 2-3mm movement joint and Silicon (not grout).

Hear hear plastic bath trims are awful.
Check under the bath to see if the plumber has fitted a wooden batten for the bath roll to sit onto.
I bet he won't have, they never do.
Prop up the back edges bath with lengths of wood especially in the corners where they butt up against the wall.
This is the most common place that baths leak, and we tilers get blamed for the silicon cracking.
Nope it's the plumber, the baths moving!
Then do as macten says.
