Half height tile job - TilersForums.com

[Sean-tries-to-tile]

Hi, had some freat advice on here before, hoping i can get a little more !
Huge gaps between tile trim and wall as the tiling is square but wall isnt. Wall is silk paint. Should i fill with decorators caulk or silicone, and should the finish be curved up to the wall or flush with trim?

This was my first attemp at tiling... but I did know this issue was coming, just couldnt see a way round it!
Cheers

Same problem here, but I am to blame as the false wall i made was slightly out. Should I silicone this 6mm gap behind toilet?

Clear silicone will look neater. Bit wide for white.

Thanks Dave, is that for the trim and the toilet?

Just the toilet, easy fill or decorators caulk the trim gap and paint the same as the wall.

Thanks dave is that the concensus in general that clear silicone is better for wider gaps?

Imo it looks better as it doesn’t stand out as much as a wide white joint. It’s personal preference mate.
