I asked one fella why, and he said that no matter how much you pay for tiles, they are never exactly the same size. Bloody tiling..... 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pocster Posted September 1, 2020 Author Share Posted September 1, 2020 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocster Posted September 1, 2020 Author Share Posted September 1, 2020 (edited) But If I use trim on that wall won’t it look odd it doesn’t continue up the angled ceiling edge ?? Edited September 1, 2020 by pocster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Jimbo Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Yes it will. skip the trim, and cut them as tight to the ceiling as you can. Mitre off the back top edge to make sure they don't kick out. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it were me, I would tile up to the ceiling, then either grout or silicone between tile and ceiling. silicone will hide the cut edges too Edited September 1, 2020 by Gav_P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pocster Posted September 2, 2020 Author Share Posted September 2, 2020 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 . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the beading there shouldn’t say ‘ look at me ‘ unlike the profile edging . So perhaps plain white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocster Posted September 2, 2020 Author Share Posted September 2, 2020 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 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did frown . On the shelf price was some like £14.50 I’ll get it for less on account by maybe 10% To make up for the extortion I’ll nick a tube next time . Put it down the front of my trousers . No one would notice the difference ? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocster Posted September 2, 2020 Author Share Posted September 2, 2020 (edited) The thing is my BM is local so obviously if I need it ASAP it's convenient . Also they usually only sell high markup brands like schulter ,Geocel entire range. So *choice* is limited.
