Normal ct1 not good enough ? So any tubed adhesive would be ok . Only mention ct1 as that’s whats to hand .
-
So on this wall return to the metal door surround . Just ct1 tiles to the timber ? . Assume that’s more than enough to hold them ( not very wide as you can see )
-
Not sure . I think the beading there shouldn’t say ‘ look at me ‘ unlike the profile edging . So perhaps plain white
-
That wall done . As tight to the ceiling as I can get . It’s going to be a dog to Mastik . Might find a simple white plastic bead to stick on instead .

Wee still goes everywhere. We all know everyone’s wee’s in the shower ... -
Then it shall be so !!

It will surprise none of you that the levellers come out much easier on the same day they went in ? I Hope @Mr Punter likes his ensuite I’m doing for him
-
That’s true . I can actually see the difference in size and even thickness in my tiles . (expletive deleted)ing expensive rubbish . So stick a nice metal trim as tight to the ceiling as I can get ( whilst being level ! ) then tile upto it with my pro skills
-
That was my twin .
-
I *suppose* I could stick a straight beading along and cut each tile to meet it . I always though beading has a lip so the crap tile cut would go under it . What do I do with this ? . Just have a cut edge next to the bead ? . Should the bead be proud of the tile or flush ???
-
Don’t know . Will find out . Quick measure from tile at either end to ceiling about 4mm variation . Photo to show concern better
-
No ! Not there
-
So ! As I near the top of this wall what do I do at angled ceiling meets tile ? Can’t really silicone as need to mask the ceiling - tape might take paint off ? Beading ? With beading anyway do I fit first or with tiles as I go ? . Seem to remember beading always looks nice but cost is upsetting ! As mitring felt like a pita have these nice corner bits . Advice welcome !!

Look uncle Nick - LOOK Getting faster ( slightly ) , using less adhesive . This photo is BEFORE I’ve cleaned the faces . Decided to let my bowed corner go . Wall cabinet can hide my sins . So sorry Uncle Nick ( aka @Nickfromwales ) it didn’t work out with your last appreciate @Onoff - understand he met his fate .... RIPs ???
-
Almost . The short cut at the end to follow the other tiles on that row ( I.e flat , even if wall isn’t ) goes ‘into’ the wall . @Onoff has got it . I need to ‘thin’ a narrow strip of that corner vertically . As I said , luckily sink and vanity unit go on this wall and in this corner .
-
Lol sorry ! That photo’s misleading . The bottom of the level is on the tile face . I’m just showing that the ‘gap’ for the tile narrows as I go up the wall I.e no room for a tile ! My fault. Trick photo ????
-
It is But as it took him 5 hours to draw it , thought I’d better like it
-
When my bits are out no tiles are visible ?
-
I’m still lost ? The corner bows out as far as I can tell . I can’t push each row out a bit to compensate otherwise I’ll get the dread lippage . Appreciate with smaller tiles you can gain/ lose as you go . Still thinking of cutting a narrow strip of backer board out in the corner . Adhesive on the ok bit of tile . Ct1 on the bit where I need to be shallow and also beneath backer board is timber .
-
@Gav_P has given me OCD !! Bastard !! Tomorrow I’m going to gently turn that thread see if I can pull it in a mm @Gav_P you are a (expletive deleted) ??
-
You lost me . You mean deliberately push the tiles ‘out’ away from the backer board ? . Creep out a bit per row ?
-
Yes the ‘foam’ squashes against a flat surface as I assume . But it’s like a mm . I was more worried about the shower elbow not fitting fully on the fitting . Can’t build / tile to 1 mm accuracy ??
-
Or do I just ‘bend’ the fitting upwards ( it’s mounted on timber so there’s a bit of give ) . Bit of plastic packer becomes my friend .Still sticks out a few mm too much - but assume Mastik solves that !
