Hello all
Another question.
I have a gap between back section of bath on left hand side that's wide enough for a tile to fall down. It was recommended I get one of those sealing strips to cover the gap. However, I'm not sure of the order to do things and whether there's an alternative to using this strip as it's only for a couple of feet and therefore looks a bit odd overlapping only one section of bath.
Do I stick attempt to stick it on the walls along with tiles whilst the bath has water in it or out?
Do I attempt to stick it to the wall on its own and then tile over it the next day?
Whichever I do, am I supposed to leave a spacer's width at the bottom of the tile bearing in mind the bath will now be sealed or tile so the tile is sitting on the bath seal?
Something else?
Here's a picture of the seal and a picture of me sliding a bit of tile down the gap. I'm wondering if that gap is small enough that with adhesive, the tile may sit proud of the bath, but then what if there's movement, will it slide down the wall? Or would cutting the top of my silicone sealant all the way to the bottom so there's a very wide strip of sealant coming up be sufficient to do the job.
'tis all very confuddling
