This one has been bugging me for a while with planning my bathroom. Might be simple but I'd be grateful if you could help me double-check.

There will be an external corner between two walls, one of which has to be tiled, and the other which I want to have plastered and painted.

First, I'm putting Marmox/Jacko boards on the tiled areas - so will the plasterer just be able to tape the corner and skim the wall plus cut board edge?

Second, what's the best way to finish the tiles at the edge? Would square edge trims with the flat face flush with the plastered side be correct or is there a better way?

Board the walls for tile on first, then your plasterer should be fitting an external angle bead to skim up to, tile and slip a square edge trim to finnish flush with the skimmed wall...

Fitting an external metal angle bead, plasterer will have to feather out on the tile wall. Or use fast set.

Could use flexible plasterboard corner tape and fast set filler, less to feather-out, and quicker drying.

Got the plasterer coming round at the weekend to discuss so I'll see what he says, thanks.
