Not much you can say about those, other than put up and shut up or yank them off and change direction ( tile )? It would drive me nuts, but once it’s on you’ll just adjust and move on with your life. I have stuff in my bathroom that I did a less-than-perfect way, but I did do it over Xmas, and I was pissed most of the time I was tiling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pocster Posted November 2, 2020 Author Share Posted November 2, 2020 Doing ok today . Don’t like the gap between tile and ceiling . Sometimes just on the width of the tile ( 30cm ) the ceiling can be a good 5mm out - bloody plasterer ! . Assume there’s no shame in some simple white beading along the top to hide all this ...

Mr Punter Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 That looks a fair bit neater than the first one you did. Less adhesive in the grout gap. Can you promise not to use piss yellow grout this time? It that a very big l-shape to the left of the mirror or did you cheat? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pocster Posted November 3, 2020 Author Share Posted November 3, 2020 More and more .... Notice that though my wall was spirit level straight it is a bit out . So to keep tiles flat I simply beef up the adhesive behind them . Was worried about following a bendy wall ( max deviation about 5mm ) . , so don’t ?

Pocster Posted November 4, 2020 Author Share Posted November 4, 2020 Struggling today ! First a snapped tile . ?? These recesses are a real pain ! I’ve done the tile cuts around them rough - so either spend hours dremelling them straight or much easier would be to find tile profile with a lip - so it ‘over hangs’ the tile edges - would make life much simpler !!

Thank you, I feel so much better about my bathroom now. ? Some of those cuts are dogs . So getting everything to line up just not going to happen . Also the recess boxes appear not to be as accurate as perhaps I would hope . Hence why a tile bead profile that covers the edges solves all the problems . This one in the ensuite took ages to get right with a dremel !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
