Bathroom fitters tiling over gap without filling in

[The shuffler]

Hi,

Had a walk in shower fitted which is currently being tiled. Noticed that the tradesmen are tiling over a corner gap between 2 wallboards without filling it in first. Is this normal practice?

Photo attached, the gap is approx 0.5 cm

That’s to allow expansion.. it should be filled with silicone at the end of the job

But yea the gap is there for a reason

Thanks for the explanation. Evidently my lack of knowledge was causing me to worry unnecessarily

No worries..


I did start another thread for people that are having work done or looking to hire a tiler..

Always ask some qualifying questions and you will get a good idea of the tiler you are looking to hire knows what he’s doing or not

Good luck 👍
