Do they do 3m trims ?
Ive only ever seen 2.4m, what happens in old properties , ive always joined them

Schluter are one company who do them but they are pricey. Joining is the only way as widler says. Down low is preferred in most cases as not so visible, but I cut mine so they are virtually impossible to see without bending right down and inspecting closely.

I was assuming it was a wet area....but on second look probably not, but if it was I would keep any joins in trims above the likely wet area.

Check around the shower dial to see if it's been sealed.

This one didn't take too long to tidy up....for obvious reasons.
