    Default Help with edging

    Hi peeps
    Hope you can help me, finished the tiling in my bathroom. I've used travertine tiles which look great but I have an out of skew wall at one end of the shower and need some quarter edging to fill the gap. Can anyone let me know where to get it, I have trawled the internet and can only find a pencil shape. Or any other suggestions welcome ta.
    Kind regards
    Desperate Housewife
    p.s Happy Valentine!

    Unfortunately a bit late now but you would have been better fitting the shower tray first and tiling onto it. Silicone would have sealed the joint. You may still get away with siliconing it but it depends how big the gap actually is. Bit hard to tell from the pic!

    You can probably silicone that. It's probably not going to be pretty, because it looks quite wide, but that's what I can think off at the moment.

    Thanks Dave, your a star, I'll get right on it!

    p.s Grumpgrouter - I DID fit the shower first and the front edge fits perfectly. Unfortunately the plasterer didn't do his job properly with the wall. We knew it would be a problem and hoped the tiles would fill the gap somewhat. But thanks for all your positive help!

    Just a suggestion if you have tiles left cut some into 3 inch strips and lay them around the perimenter as a skirting see how they look if your happy with it bulnose the tops job done.
