Skinny Avoidance Strategies?

[Jonnycat]

I am coming in to a problem with the backsplash my tub surround is extending into.

The problem is that no matter what, I am left with a 20mm skinny at both the floor and the top of the sink (and I don't want the skinny).

What methods are available for me to deal with this?

I include the following drawing with three possible solutions; which of the three solutions would you pick?

Also, what other solution would you come up with that isn't given?

Thanks!

:welcome: i think i get it why not start with a half tile over sink

Hi Jonnycat,
Have you started the tiling yet? If not, it seems that you could lower your datum line over the bath and solve the problem very easily?

Sorry guys, layout is not adjustable, I should have mentioned that.

I'm trying to figure out what to do instead of having the skinnies (hence the three ideas in the drawing).

Do any of those ideas seem plausible, or maybe there are other ideas you would use in this situation?

Increase ur grout line size or Change ur tile size.

If it's only a splashback that is existing why not take the existing tiles off and do it in tiles of a different size?

If I were you, I would take the basin off the wall, tile the wall then put the basin back on the wall, adjusting its height to match the tiles..that way, you don't have to make any compromises with the tiles...

Sinks in kitchens basins in bathrooms. Not everyones cup of tea especialy in bathrooms but a skirting tile would get you out of trouble just depends whats on the floor how it would look.
