Gap between bath and wall tiles.
It s an old stone farmhouse and the bare stone walls are obviously very uneven if you put a straight edge along the wall there would be gaps up to 8 cm.
A builder recommended re tiling the entire wall on top of the existing tiles so that the new row of tiles can be matched up to the bath leaving a small gap which can just be filled with a small amount of silicon sealant.
It was a local bathroom shop that did the complete bathroom refit and it was.
I had a new bathroom completed just over a year ago.
If i remove this seal i will have a 1inch gap between the edge of the bath and the tiles water will have no problem getting through this.
The gap varies from 4mm to 30mm and i m looking for a material to fill the gap.
I ve had the gap between the walls tiles and the bath refilled with flexible twice with bath full.
It s such a big gap that the flexible just pulls away from the tiles or the bath leaving gaps which looks horrible.
I ve cut the tiles to roughly follow the unevenness of the stone walls and left a gap for expansion.
Bathroom floor tiles grout between tiles cracked and chunks sinking tiles lifting.
The wall at the top of the bath is a stud wall so i am going to remove the aqua board and change the battons to larger sizes.
Fill gaps between 1 4 and 1 2 inch in width with two beads of caulk set side by side.
Apply one bead directly along the edge of the tub and the second bead along the edge of the wall.
