Nightmare !!! The Tiler Will Get Over It

[AliGage]

it wouldnt even be a slither it would look bad imo, boxing out would look crap too due to the sill being in the way and it not being a straight run

So packing 20mm of adhesive behind the tiles would look better? That's a chunky bit of trim needed.
I am right in thinking it's only around the bath being tiled?
Last thing I would be doing is packing out a whole wall for the sake of the bath being 1" short.

Two options the way I see it.
1. Batten and tile a small ledge
2. Let the tile fall below the bath and depending on the gap left, silicone seal.

 

[Mr Tiler]

wrong imo ali i would bed out and have a wide grout joint but in this case because of the sill in the way id also tile the sill and the left side of reveal as i said before you will hardly have a wide joint maybe ghe first tiler thats about it. Just my 2 pence

 

[AliGage]

What adhesive would you use them ash? PTB?? Lol!
If it's 20/22mm at the bottom better prey the wall don't kick back eh?!

 

[Mr Tiler]

id rather see a wide grout joint on the side than a tile tucked behind the bath and a 12mm silicone joint mate, i get what your saying about the batten but i would personally only do that if there was gonna be a decent cut to go in, in my opinion. bed out so tile is sitting on the bath it always looks better to me if it can be done and in this case without knowing if the wall is kicking out towards the top thats what i would do

I would batten and tile.
But ok, so pack the tiles out so it's sitting on the bath? Let's presume the wall is plumb. Tape measure in one of the pics is showing 22-25mm to the bath edge. So you would sooner have 20+mm if grout filled in on the edge of the tile? Really?

Again, I'll reiterate my question......

What adhesive would you use to bed a ceramic tile out near on an inch from the sub to meet the bath??

 

[Mr Tiler]

near on an inch? Tiles 8mm thick id bed out so tile is only just sitting on bath so that would give you 13-14mm of bedding out ali dont need the full thicknes of the tile sat on the bath just enough to hold until adhesive sets, so the grout joint would not be far off 11-12mm which yes is too much but whats the chap gonna do if they want it done? Im not trying to be a know it all just putting my opinion across is that not allowed? Id pva the walls first then i would use tanking paint to stick the tiles up and grout in with silicone mate

 

[AliGage]

Again. Which adhesive?

Tiles have a bumpy surface, accounting for the roll of the bath let's say have the tile sits in the bath. 4mm. Leaves around 20 at worst right?
So. In all seriousness to get a "bed" of 18-20mm say what you using notchwise? A garden rack?? Lol

 

[eddie1]

you have to bed out the tile coz of the bath panel, it will be to short else

 

[AliGage]

Eh? It's only the end if the bath being tiled so the bath panel don't come into it.
However, yes the panel will obviously be the same size as the bath. So an infill will need to be made up.
Again I'd tile it.

If he builds it out it will also clear the bath panel ,everyone trying to help ,like it

 

[eddie1]

bed out, so tile will just pass the bath leaving a 2 mm gap is left then make sure you put some 2x1 under bath to give it support fill bath before you seal ,tile will need no more than a 10mm bed which is not to bad and leave 2x1 short from edge of bath about 40mm so panel fits you may need to use no nails to fix 2x1 (2 lengths down one across )

 

[AliGage]

If the bath is short the panel will be also. So what's everyone's solution for the 25mm gap between bath panel and wall?

 

[cbmltd]

For the sake of £ 40 id dot and dab the whole wall and tile it next day saves the hassle of customer moaning and waiting on plumber and plasterer.

 

[Unused Account 1]

Looks like the plasterer has tried to close the gap,and thought like the thread said ,the tiles will get that lol

Yep, that's the only proper solution, or change the bath.

 

[Unused Account 1]

We all had this problem before so annoying

 

[jobdone]

Not ideal but dab out the wsll to the edge if the bath then turn a trim bach over the board. You end up with a double trim but any have to tile the bath area and is a low cost solution.

that's what I'd be doing

 

[bcd-87]

The walls where dot and dabbed originaly, I then said it wasn't good enough hence the bonding compound . Which due to the fourum Iv found that it's not and never has been suitable to tile direct onto.. Latest on the job is Iv had to pull off the client ran out of both wall and floor tiles and there special order only so I dident finish dident get payed and now have to find time to fit it in when the tiles arrive .. 8 m on the wall and 2 on the floor has turned into a bit of a nightmare

So how you going to get over it?

 

[bcd-87]
