Access Panel - TilersForums.com

[Qwerty]

I hate access panels.
I use marmox or wedi board then colour match silicone in the joint of one tile for access. Can be cut out with a multisaw, or Stanley knife.
Oh, and leave a couple of spare tiles under the bath.

Same here

The panel is a door from b n q then I have cement boarded it then tiled it with edging.

The tiles are not from homebase, they are from our local tiling/bathroom place.

The plug socket is only 3 amp and it's going inside a cupboard for the under cabinet lights, my electrical man said it's classed as another room as its in cupboard and the planning guy has signed it off ok.

I have 1 box of each tile spare.

I covered the gap already in another post, going to be grouted then masked and painted to match ceiling so it blends and vanishes.

Those tiles at the back of the room...are they from home base ?

No, local tiling /bathroom place. 600 x 300 porcelain things. Bloody heavy and hard lol.

Looks a good effort and I hope you've enjoyed it so far.
That exterior trim corner on the bath looks a bit sharp - I tend to bend the trim around.

I did a very similar job a few weeks ago and rather than take the chance with 'L' shaped trims I fitted Box shaped trims where I could use matching 'plug in' external corners.

Doesn't that make stress marks on the trim?

Schluter sell a tool specifically designed for the job.

For bending a normal trim to a right angle?
