Discuss Levelling mosaic tiles on wonkey window ledge in the Canada Tile Advice area at TilersForums.com.

Hello tiling professionals.

I have no tiling experience and have come across a problem that I would really appreciate some help with.

I am a decorating novice using my downstairs loo as a practice before attempting other projects in my new build house.

I would like to tile a splashback for the sink and also the recessed window ledge. I have noticd that the window ledge is not level. It falls away/slopes towards the window frame by 0.5cm. I would like to use mosaic tiles and feel that this slope would be more obvious when tiled so my question is; what would be the best way to build up the ledge close to the window frame, getting thinner and thinner toward the inner edge? Filler? Plaster?

Thank you in advance.....

Time's Ran Out

Using a 1 inch strip of tile or the mosaic, fix these at the window frame side of the window ledge to gain the 4-6mm height to build up the back of the cill. Using a cement based mosaic fix tile adhesive and the flat edge of a 4mm serrated trowel 'level' it out front to new height back. Allow to set then fix away!
