Resealing between tile and shower base -large gaps - TilersForums.com

Hi Folks

I hope you had a good new year.

I am in the process of resealing the gap between the base of the shower tray and the tiles immediately above. However, the tiles have been cut quite short leaving a substantial gap to fill.

Do you fill the gap with just sealant and smooth off, or can you fill the main gap initially with grout and then seal with sealant.Any other ideas appreciated.

Thanks

Geez guys--Photos would really test me (i would need to work on that one) but I have measured the gap and I would say around 9mm

 

[kilty55]

ooya 9mm is too much

Would you recommend replacing the bottom tile -- installed several years ago and no doubt I will struggle to find a replacement?

 

[kilty55]

yes 9mm is too much imo

You can use a product called Teleseal.. that would work.. but deffo too much to silicone..
