It’s going to be a bugger to access Would have to rip off tile below . Fitting has 3 screws . 2 above the tile 1 below . How annoying ! Do I rip the lower tile off . Cut the backer board out . Sort it’s level . Baton / fix board then re tank , all for maybe 3mm ???!
-
Shower elbow does seem to Be slightly out . Holding it’s tile it sits in shows it up . Should I cut out the backer board - level fitting and set it back a few mm . Or ignore ??
-
Just tried the shower elbow . Not particularly tight against the tile . The white rubber surround only just touches . Assume this is ok if I Mastik around it also ?

Lol My memory must be going . It’s not as bad as I thought . The corner is out , it bows . If you look at the 2nd photo the gap for the tile narrows to a point where you can’t even get a tile in . I’m assuming this is all ‘acceptable’ at the moment ....

I agree I am not a tiler , a plumber , a builder or anything So imperfections are expected . That laser line does show you are out , but if I eye’d it I couldn’t tell . My errors greater than that ! On site in an hour - so photos to follow !

You mean a dick ?

On the side - just in the corner . Photo to follow

Like ripping out a strip of the tile backer board to allow the tile to go ‘into’ the wall and be level ? One tile on the other side has moved and set crooked . What’s the best way to get it off ?
-
I’ve got a bad feeling to get my tiles level and flat in the corner they need to go into the wall . The stud work must of been a bit out - bending the tile backer board . Photo’s tomorrow. I can think of a nasty solution that Uncle Nick would swoon at .

Oh dear . It would appear my wall horizontally isn’t level as it approaches the corner . The levellers have pulled the end tiles in as they should but now with a spirit level running horizontally I can see my tiles are out . Luckily this side will have a sink and wall unit - so hardly any tiles will be visible . What worries me though is when the sink unit is against the wall any silicone will be at varying widths ! Photo’s to follow . Similar problem to @Onoff tiles across the toilet . Can you notice in the Mastik on the pan to wall join the fact the tiles are out ????

Sorry , untested !

Exactly . My dremel skills are unequalled
-
My dremel equivalent is bust . So ordered one .

Nothing deters me!?
-
Can’t trim it . That’s the problem . It won’t poke in . It’s some kind of hard steel ( thought it be crap as an eBay purchase) . Dremel it is ! Once I find it !
-
Yeah maybe . I’ve got one somewhere
-
Obviously angle grinder might be an issue ? Even multi tool is to risky
-
Just those 2 metal bits to get out . The longer ( unsnapped ) one looks like it’s hooked under the tile above but skewed I.e never coming out . These are hard to cut - I haven’t found a tool that will do it yet
-
Yeah yeah yeah ! ?? I’ve got all but 3 of the levelling things out . 2 have snapped though - these are a problem . The metal in them is surprisingly hard - would give up and cut them . But need a real tight cut so they don’t stick through the grout . Tricky with a gap of 2mm

So many many replies I could post ...
