Tiling Walk In Shower Base

[james hailwood]

Hello people, got a job to do with a walk in shower tray. The sub-floor is timber and the tiles are ceramic. As the shower tray has falls i'll ping 4 chalk lines to cut to and "envelope" the tiles to follow the tray to the drain as normal. I've done this with porcelain before and had to smooth the sharp/cut edges with a stone-disc. Any tips for doing this with ceramics? I've never smoothed ceramic edges and not sure if it will **** the edges up. Obviously lips will be minimum but the tray does have a dramatic fall on it. Don't wanna be up for negligent manslaughter that's all lol. All advice is appreciated 🙂

Use a rubbing stone to take the sharp edges away.

Files & Rubbing Blocks great value and top quality from Tradetiler

Gentle strokes.

Will have to buy I've got a disc for the grinder that does the same but a bit more extreme

The problem with ceramics in a wet tray is water ingress to the side of the tile.

I wouldn't want to put ceramics in a wet room, why would anyone ?
