metal trim round the window

[kilty55]

right debs where on that wall is the shower is it at the other end of the bath to the window

 

[debbie125]

they wont fall off my mums is the same and hers is tiled

 

[debbie125]

yeah its on the end but as ya can see from my mums hers is on the curved wall

 

[kilty55]

tell me there names debs and ill get them for you

 

[hillhead]

Where are you based Debbie so someone maybe can pop around to advise?
Don't say Armagh please,lol.
Seriously though, take the tiles off and stud out that wall and re sheet with plasterboard of similar to get it level.
Then tile away with a proper adhesive( bagged).

 

[kilty55]

is it possible to strip back the two top tiles.......where the gigantic bend is in the wall

back to where the wall is flat,trim along the top of the flat area with trim and down the side of window also and skim the upper curved wall or will water affect that area showering?

its not ideal but its better than those bent tiles

 

[kilty55]

your best bet is to phone jimll fix it

 

[kilty55]

just kidding debs,so is it possible to remove those upper ones and skim coat that bit off thew all

 

[White Room]

The other tiles are smaller so can take the curve, probably of been better to use longer thinner tiles but hind sight is a good thing

 

[debbie125]

no i not bothered about the tiles being like they are coz everyone in our street are the same theyve just got plastic trim not metal! i just though someone might have a suggestion as to how to put the strip on

 

[kilty55]

debs you can cut vs out the back of the trim but im not sure it would bend at such a large angle over a short space i think dural do a flexi trim let me go looky for oyu bak in a mo

 

[debbie125]

ok thx

 

[kilty55]

Flexible profiles

z flex,its meant for floors but it may work on your wall area need to contact them direct and ask

 

[debbie125]

so its z fex from dural?

 

[kilty55]

yes but its desinged for floors im not sure if this would work on a wal or maybe they have another product suitable call them tomorrowdebs?

 

[debbie125]

Welcome

 

[kilty55]

the other jobs you have seen debs with plastic trim on the curved edges is the trim curved nicely to meet the bent tiles

 

[debbie125]

yeah the plastic ones easily will do the job bit theyre all white! :-( lol

 

[kilty55]

no debs you get all diff colours what colou are you wanting

 

[debbie125]

silver but i couldnt find any shiny silver in the shops i looked in just dull lookin silver and as ive got a thick silver strip in the tiles i wanted the same round the window

 

[kilty55]

ah okay,to be honest im not sure any trim will work on that bend,i would personally strip that 1 wall and straighten it if possible

 

[debbie125]

i cant see how it would be possible as the bath only just fits and there would be no way you could put plasterboard on it to bring it out to level it or tk it out to straighten it as it would mean to much off a big job coz then your lookin at having to plaster and all sorts and theres noway we can afford to get a plasterer in it so its just goin to have to be plastic white tile trim i suppose which will defo do the job

 

[debbie125]

thanks for your help youve had a laugh at least! lol

 

[White Room]

Don't think anyones laughing Deb..the guys are genuine and want to help

 

[debbie125]

if you're adamant on leaving the tiles up and tiling the reveal, why not cut the back of the trim at the position of each grout line and kink in to suit the the angle of the tiles on the bend? not ideal but the best solution imo
