    Not sure what you mean Shogun?? Is the wall wider than the bath and you need to put trim up either side vertically?

    hi

    I forgot to mention its landscape and brick affect, so i think i might dry cut to make sure its good before fixing as i said, its that flat trim which isnt giving me much to play with.

    Cheers

    Aye i used the stone thingy and got them nice and smooth
    i opted for leaving a space in the addy spread and slipped the trim in at the end

    after stuffing addy into the space

    thats why i love tiling,learning

    Thanks for the replys

    Cheers
