Recover/hide bad trim!

[TilingLogistics]

get him to take the the trim and top cut off and recut it so it is 1/1.5 mm over the face of the upstand this will allow you to polish the edge to a good standard buy some straw coloured polyester resin to fill the holes up and you will have the finish you are looking for i am sure that kev from tiling logistics will be able to sell you the stuff you need as he is very helpful

Thank you for that! However, I don't sell stucco! Believe it or not it can be a little difficult to use. If you don't have the right tools in some situations when you are using and trimming and it sets on you it can be harder than granite!

dont you use it for marble repairs i know its not much good on the cristaline marbles such as thassos and carrera but for the beige and natural colours you cant beat it for internal work imo

Thanks Gary/Kev (and everyone else).

I think you've solved the way to go.

I'm in Leighton Buzzard (Beds) if there's any local specialists (prob too far from Solihull to make it worth while but if not PM me).

I'll get him to redo the tiles with the 1mm overlap - he can finish everthing else off then i can deal with the finishing.

Have to say the rest of the work looks great!

Thanks again

Gary,

I use it all the time! On nearly all stone! I buy it in 12 x 1 Litre cans in 4 different colours. However, you will know if you have used it that to do a job like that the colour needs to be mixed in one batch for the whole job and then placed in an airtight container to prevent skinning. I then only add hardner to the amount I can use. I just think you need to be reasonably skilled to use it correctly making sure the surface its bonding to is dust free and clean. It also needs to be trimmed at the right time or you end up creating work. I have no problem with letting pro tilers have some I just don't think it's something for DIY use.

How far are you from Harrold? I ask this because my Brother lives there and I might be able to combine it with a visit to him!
As a matter of interest what is he sealing it with?

Gary,

I am always busy mate if you can do it go for it! I just posted to help out I would try and combine it with a visit to my brother but if you are in the area you would probably be able to help before me.
