hi guys,

when you say trim on top of tile, what do you mean? is this a separate trim from the coving and what does it look like? where can i buy this trim from?



cheers

it looks like my floor has a slope of 1" from door to window. not sure how i missed that but im guessing its because i didnt use a batten at the time with my level :/

anyways can i use cement or mortar to bring the level up and screed the floor? im not sure how much stuff i will need but can i mix sand and cement as a base before i start tiling the floor?

please recommend what type of stuff to buy before i buy the wrong stuff

ive not had much time to do the bathroom lately so its just when i have time thats why it seems to be taking forever!

cheers

hi guys,

been busy lately so the bathroom was put on back burner. i have since finished the tiling but i still have the issue with the coving at top. in a previous post someone mentioned a trim on the coving. can someone describe what this is?

i know someone also mentioned about using new coving over old coving....will i have any trouble keeping the old coving in place? the coving already installed, measures at 110mm, what size do you recommend to cover old coving?

here are some photos of the tiling so far... and yes, the tiles still need cleaning up lol. also the tiles you see at left hand side which look off, is an actual access point/hatch and i need to cut a hole for the drainage too

thanks in advance!

I'd remove old coving and tile a bit higher then have new coving fixed over tile and to cover damage ceiling from removal of old coving.

here is where my drain valve is in my dinning room

also, since i cant join the plumbers forum just now can someone advise on the best way forward for the u bend from bath? can i have the wast from bath go straight down and underneath floor boards with the u bend going straight into the pipe? or do i need to have the ubend above the floor line meaning i have a s shape trap as shown in photo with the waste going straight down adding into the pipework below floorboards. is there any pros/cons of having it above or below?

It's important to avoid having too steep a slope before the trap, as it can lead to the water being siphoned out, which might cause blockage issues. Also, ensuring the trap is easily accessible for regular cleaning can save a lot of hassle down the road. Keeping these considerations in mind will help maintain an efficient and trouble-free drainage system.
