Easy Job, Gone Wrong?

I know my limitations when a regular tiler suggested eliminating the gap at the top by widening the grout line. Spaced out on a floor to ceiling batten may work but boxes of metros nominally 100mm ? It looked good enough for me at the sill .

Damp Bathroom Walls

if it's the inside of an outside wall then plastering sand & cement onto the brick. If there's another room on other side then probably Hardwall then Multifinish plaster.

Enamel/Ceramic Repair Kits

@MikeW . I faded out the white paint from the aerosol to help lose the repair, old bath/ many shades of white. I sprayed cars once for a living but if you can practise first with an old aerosol you can make a difference.

Dark Grout with White Metro Tiles

Thanks Dan. I'll give another go but always end up with a step when I use tape. A good thread should always have pix of some outstanding past JOTM( like AliGage's metro kitchen).
