Tiling Around Odd-sized Tub Space With Ledge

[Kevin Hackworth]

I'm looking for ideas on what to do with this ledge I need to tile. The space is too long for any tub size I can order so I had to put a small ledge in to make up the difference. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Bring the wall forward to the bath to get rid of the shelf, yes you will lose a couple of inches but the end result will look much better imho.

I'd do what Alan says as you have to think those screws fix the bath need covering, do what Alan says and you have a flush wall so the tile will go them.

Or just bring out the wall the same width of the bath but up to ceiling leaving the rest and make some recesses for putting things in...

Or the shelf/frame you made at end of Bath should have been lower by adhesive and tile width so tile finish would have been at the bath lip.

Or build the lip up one tile high and 50mm wider an tile it...the best looking end result will be to bring the whole wall forward so the bath fits perfect.....so many options....its like being in subway!

Just had exactly same issue with a shower tray..room 1770 tray 1700, studed wasll to edge of tray out and added a neich for shampoo etc, and it didn't take any more space off the rom than was necessary..
