    If you mean the metal threshold strip, that was put on when i put the door back on, after the photo. ...it was naff looking too though, an ancient aluminium one that was all bent.(didn't want a new one).
    I found the tiles really difficult to mark because of the funny shape, you can see where i effed up a bit if you zoom in on the sink pedestal.
    i have to go back today and give it another clean up and seal round the sanitry wear and cover up that jaggedy cut. if it still looks bad i'll lift it and re-do, there was a couple spare.

    Did a conservatory floor a few months ago and had to cut back some of these tile as the old external door had been moved back. The customer said he would have liked to have continued the existing tiles into the conservatory but luckily they are no longer available.
