Hello forum
My first post here
Have just started tiling a shower and the corners are proving rather tricky with nothing being square
Some gaps have turned out a little smaller than I wanted and I am worried I will not be able to get enough purchase on the sealant in the corners
Rather than...

When I grouted recently I was obviously not careful enough and got some grout in the internal corners in a few areas, where I had intended to silicone. Do you think I should remove all the grout before I silicone or will I get away with it do you reckon? I did try...

Dang diddly! In my mad rush to get as much of the shower alcove grouted before the epoxy grout became unusable, I absent mindedly filled the vertical corner joints with grout.
I tanked the bejeebus outta the whole alcove, and the bathroom is on the ground floor sitting on sand and cement...

Hi, I'm in the process of installing a wetroom based upon marmox showerlay. base down and multiboard up. question i have is around the waterproofing, for which i have the marmox waterproof tape and internal corners. Can anyone confirm what the right procedure is to secure the internal corners in...
Is it good practice that you always run a bead of silicone up the vertical corners and around the shower tray.
We are installing a tiled marmox showerlay tray and the wife would like the corners grouted as she says the silicone just ends up going mouldy in time.
Thanks for the replies
I know it probably is broad as long, but is there a convention to tiling into corners with two cut edges. Obviously one goes 'under' the other, but does it look better to have the uppermost tile along the line of sight, rather than towards you.
This is quite difficult to explain, but hope you...
Hi all,
I'm re-tiling a shower cubicle at the moment. I've finished the centre tiles on all walls, and now I'm about to tile into the internal corners using half cuts. When tiling in to internal corners, I would like to know whether it's best practice to overlap one of the tiles running into...
My tiler it appears is lacking in the cutting skills, but the issue seems to be just around corners?
Due to the tiles being marble with bevelled edges he is spacing them about 1mm but a couple of the tiles at the bottom are about 4mm.
I will speak to him in the morning but I am interested in...
Relayed a bathroom floor today after cracks started appearing in the tiles, the customer lost the details of the tiler that done it originally so could not call them back, He had laid hardi on top of floorboards and the cracks were appearing where the hardi boards joined after close inspection...
Hello. Can anyone advise me on what is the best method to deal with internal corners using metro tiles. Also for external corners, would it be easier and look better to mitre or cover with a trim. Many thanks

What's the best way to do external corners using 150x75mm retro beveled edge tile,given the cut tile is thicker than the beveled edge , what is the best trim to use?
Hi, been a while since I posted on here, wonder if you can help? Photos or links to photos would be great.
I have a splashback to do with bevelled tiles, 200x100mm, and this will involve working around several internal corners, both 45 degree and 90 degree (odd shaped kitchen). I understand that...

I'm after some advice please on getting the levels correct so that the tiles between the outer edge of the windows and the cill are spot on. I already know about finding the highest point and using that to frame the window.
Do I allow 2mm over the edge and also the depth of the tile or is...

Good morning all,
I'm about to start fitting 600 x 400 travertine wall tiles next week in my bathroom and am a little unsure as to the best way to go round external corner and also install the edging for the window recess.
The common ways seem to be either Mitre or Butt join the tiles or to...
Hi guys,
I have seen many videos on youtube about tilling and grouting and I want to ask you if I should use grout to seal corners or if I should use silicone.
In this video Tile Shower Waterproofing.wmv - YouTube the guy says that corners should not be grouted.
What is you opinion on this...
hi there.

are they worth it.
are they very limiting on the types of trim they can be used with.
i only wanted them for where 3 pieces of trim meet . i always see where tilers left that area looking bad. the mieters are perfect but the bit sticking out...
