Tile edging

loulou41

I want to put some tile edging all around my bath instead of sealant as they become mouldy and unsightly. Somebody suggested using the tile edging instead. My main concern is what to do when you get round the corner. I have been to local DIY and they do not seem to do ceramic corner pieces. Anybody got any advice, please? Thanks

You have to use a flexible seal of some sort because of the movement when you fill you bath with water.

I bough one of these from screwfix does a great job well recommend

As a tradesman, i find the tile edging seal absolutely appalling. A degree of flexibility is needed to accommodate the slight rise and fall of the bath as you get in and out.

The reason it has gone mouldy is that a cheap mastic has been used which doesn't contain and anti-funcacidal additive. But a Dow Corning brand mastic with the additive and it will last for years if applied properly. It should cost you about £40 to get it installed professionally, and believe me, this will be money well spent.
