OK I'm fully clothed and I daren't pan down for all the crap but it's going to be pucker when done. Couldn't resist getting the lights in. Comment from a mate: "It’s not like a blacklight and shows all the stains does it? ?" Did you choose rgb led strips ? So you can change the colour ...? ala mode lighting !

The 3 blue ones are LAP brand IP68 deck lights that fit in a 22mm hole. £4.99 for 10, end of line with a £10 voucher! Hidden "strip" along the bath is LED colour changing strip with remote etc.
Nickfromwales Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 Put a strip of white laminate up in the soffit, the stuff you can buy on masking tape sized rolls for making good on the ends of kitchen worktops etc. White, bond on, scrubbable / won’t degrade, and will reflect the light off the LED strip. Bingo. 1

Bingo. Good shout...going be a sod getting the iron up in there though... Gloss white or textured white do you reckon? Tbh I'm debating trunking lid...
Onoff Posted January 12, 2019 Author Posted January 12, 2019 B@ll@cks! Got a cracked tile... And I know why. When I put them up I held that L shaped tile in place with mole grips:

Onoff Posted January 12, 2019 Author Posted January 12, 2019 Head No2 clippered (getting less and less at the front) and beard No1. Simples.

Onoff Posted January 13, 2019 Author Posted January 13, 2019 The wall tiles here sit down on the floor tiles with a grout rammed, 1mm gap. Once grouted I assume a have to run a bead of silicon around where wall meets floor. What sort of size should this be? Thanks.
Onoff Posted January 14, 2019 Author Posted January 14, 2019 3 to cut! Got to wait for the Grab 'n Bonded one above to go off: 37 x13 the one in the very corner: Then once I've the cabling soldered to the LED strip and heatshrunk, this one in the pocket.
Onoff Posted January 15, 2019 Author Posted January 15, 2019 (edited) @Nickfromwales......HEEEEEELP! This removeable bath end panel is trying me. Don't know where I went "out" but to get it to look near right I need to take a sliver off the tile up to the blue line: Trouble is that tile is stuck to the ply with CT1 Grab 'n Bond. Was thinking to maybe clamp a timber on and run the diamond disc along it? Cheers Edited January 15, 2019 by Onoff
bassanclan Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 I don't think you'll be able to do that without damaging the neighbouring tile. Do you think a multi tool blade or even password blade will go behind the tile to cut through the CT1? Hopefully you've just put 5 blobs on to stick it...

It's got 3 horizontal lines of the stuff Tbh I'm thinking I could file it against a clamped timber. Edited January 15, 2019 by Onoff
Nickfromwales Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 "That's another fine mess you've got us into" lol. That's a pig of a cut to perform, but you've got this far Mitigate against damaging the other tile by putting a piece of metal tile trim / metal angle over the other tiles, inserted into the grout line and taped into place, and set about it with a sober hand and a level of determination unheard of until now. "You can do it, Deeds!". Go get it tiger, not long now
Nickfromwales Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 Oh, and maybe this bit of info will be of morale benefit in your hour of need :- If this was a retail bathroom, and I was charging for everything you have done to date, the price would be north of £20k. That's a lot of the weird shit you've drunk since this began. ? 1
Onoff Posted January 15, 2019 Author Posted January 15, 2019 (edited) I wouldn't pay £20K for this, too many mistakes of which I'll catalogue later in all their gory detail. Still, good practice for when I do the main bathroom! (Kidding! There is the en suite to do though). Edited January 15, 2019 by Onoff
Onoff Posted January 15, 2019 Author Posted January 15, 2019 So to cut this tile...smooth diamond disc or maybe a multi tool blade? Wet (plant sprayer?) or dry? Cheers
Mr Punter Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 I think smash off the tile and start again. You don't really want a cut edge at the bottom anyway. 1
