    Default ?????

    im tiling a bathroom and in the corner theres a post sticking out and if i start at the corner and work back to the wall the tile just falls short by about 20mm. Any ideas? all i can think of is spliting it down the middle and putting in 2 cuts. its only just bigger than 1 tile and i really dont want to put a wee slither in

    do you mean a boxing in the corner? move your tiles along so you even the gap at both ends. never start with a full tile on one end. it won't look right and chances are the wall will be out and you may end up with a gap at the top

    i don't understand, you can either centre the tile or the grout line but there should be no gaps or slithers. as i said move the tiles along your line till it looks right/best
