I meant 2 from a tile, you'd be wasting two thirds of the tile, although I haven't checked how much the special skirting tiles are yet. With my rubi cutter there is next to no waste. I really struggle to tell which side is factory and which side I just cut. Money well spent . @daiking changing to a pukka blade will help a lot.

Anybody who notices that shouldn't be lying down on your floor. This is exactly my thinking. It would be lunacy to worry about this most minor of cosmetic abherrations 15 hours ago, AliG said: I spoke to the builder and he said it would be expensive as he recommended just cutting one piece from each edge of a tile. But I checked and the floor tiles we have have matching skirting tiles available. This is what I'd been told too and the tilers we had (who I doubt would do any tidier cutting) weren't keen on this anyway. And the only reason tilled skirting is a suggestion is that I have a few square metres left over and cutting and sticking tiles to a wall whilst held straight by the floor is something that sounds achievable by me.

Whenever I hire a Rubi 900 they ask me what I'm cutting and give me a new wheel every time, hire cost and cutting wheel £20 a day. Rubi, they're the bees knees.

daiking Posted November 18, 2018 Author Share Posted November 18, 2018 And can I use the matching 3 year old grout leftover from the floor tiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daiking Posted June 27, 2019 Author Share Posted June 27, 2019 I have some areas(won’t be visible) I can’t finish with a tiled upstand. As this is an area where there could be leaks/spillages, I’d like some sort of other solution. I’m thinking that an aluminium angle profile, approx 25mm high, stuck to the tiles around the perimeter will do the job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
