Cutting tile trim into internal corner - Tile Advice

[Dougie212]

Hi everyone

So, I’m in the process of re-fitting our kitchen. Everything is going swimmingly and I’m quickly approaching tiling along the worktops.. I don’t mind tiling but absolutely dread cutting tile trim. I’ve seen pre formed corners online for turns to take the the tiles up the wall at cooker area and sink etc which I am considering, but cant see anything that will help when I come to the one single internal corner that we have. Are there any tricks to cutting trim into an internal corner? Or does anyone know of anything pre-formed? I know it’s cheating but mitre cutting tile trim is my absolute arch enemy... thanks in advance!

Thanks in advance
Dougie

You buy a £2 quid plastic mitre block to cut your internal and external corners?

You can buy internal corners from trim traders.

Thanks for your responses guys... I’ve tried mitre-ing the joints and I always end up faffing with a file trying to tidy them up and end up with a gap somewhere... are the trim traders online? I’m wondering if it’d be best getting everything from them then, trim and corners.. ?

Some trim manufacturers have dedicated corners for their trims.
Dependent on budget and finish and there’s high quality trims from @Schlüter-Systems Ltd, also @Pro Tiler Tools sell trims and I think they might also sell the corner pieces.

Thanks very much Adey... we are doing the kitchen up with a view of selling the house in the next 12/18 months so we don’t want to spend mega bucks on trims and things but on the flip side want a finish that looks decent when it comes to people viewing. I’m trying to do as much as I can myself to keep costs down. I’ll have a look at the websites now.

You would be best buying trim and corners that match.

Brill...I’ll get it all from the same place then. Any supplies you could recommend as well as the 2 above would be much appreciated!

I will follow this as I've only ever seen ext corners

I used some Schlüter brushed metal box trims on a bathroom a few years ago.
Some of the external corners were rather exposed, and not wanting to risk a sharp edge injuring someone I used plug in external edges.......just seemed logical to use the internal plug in's as well.
The Schlüter corners looked well suited and a good fit.(Not all brands are)
