Please checkout the following advertisement.
Can anyone advise me on best course of action. A bath tub has been fitted and secured in place. It is solid and isn't going anywhere. I've been asked to tile the walls, obviously coming down on top of the tub. The corner isn't square and as a result a 10mm gap has been left. Can this be taken up with tile https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ and tile if the tiles are run out gradually towards the corner. Once done you wouldn't notice. The bath cannot be moved now as it is level and solidly in place. Thanks.

Ok thanks, l think that's my only option. As a tiler, can you recommend a good flexible wall tile https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/?
Thanks again

How thick are the tiles you are using? unless its metro i'm pretty sure that 10mm will quickly vanish once you have a tile,https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ and sealed it up with silicone
