I'm about to tile around my new bath and have seen it suggested to leave a 1 tile thickness gap between the bath and the lowest tile . Trying that out it seems quite a lot ( tiles are 6mm) . Any ideas ?
Stuart .
Right-angle beading between these and the bath, siliconed on. And put a bit of wood under the bath edge to support it there, and make sure it does not move.
Thx Ian but I don't want to go down that road .I'm just going to tile down on to the bath ( already in place) and silicone the gap. It was just the dimension of the gap I was concerned about .I thought 6mm looked a lot . Stuart
If the bath moves 1mm from loaded-unloaded, it's 1/6th movement, which is quite a lot. Remember to silicone the gap when it's full.
Can I ask where you heard this? I have tiled many a bathroom, shower, kitchen, etc. and have never heard this! Are you sure you're not confusing it with leaving a one tile HEIGHT above the bath when tiling when the bath isn't in place? Then after the bath is installed stick this row on.

That's pretty much how I was actually intending doing it John.....other than that the bath is already in ...a couple of mm or so it is then ....thx
