RayandCarole Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Well due to Caroles arferitis decided to get the bath removed and a full length shower installed, being of stingy norfolk blood didnt fancy replacing all tiles above original bath line with new ones. So ordered replacements in a contrasting colour, so far so good. Fitter arrives ah new tiles are metric, old tiles are imperial, so grout lines wont line-up. So got some nice mosaic border tiles to blend in the old with the new so far looks ok, so many grout lines on border tiles hopefully no one will notice nothing is ever easy Ray & Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadAmbition Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Well its not rocket science tiles can be cut down to size with a wet diamond saw, chamfering the edge if required is somewhat more challenging Griff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayandCarole Posted April 7, 2016 Author Share Posted April 7, 2016 Ah but the new tiles were slightly smaller than the originals Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnb Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 The time lag tells you I have given this a lot of thought-the solution is easy: 1) Remove the original tiles 2) Trim them as per Griffs suggestion 3) Stick the trimmings on to the new tiles, which will now be larger than the originals. 4) Now you trim the new tiles..........................
