I know this is quite common.
Problem is I want to tile to the bathroom floor and have no skirting. What can I Use to fill the gap and create a good bonding surface for the tiles?
Rough plaster the gap myself (my plastering skills are zero)?
Or,
Leave the void there (the tiles are very large anyway)? |

Bear in mind that if you belt an unsupported tile with a vacuum it'll crack a damn site easier than one that's fully supported. The choice is yours - for what's involved, why not just chuck some bonding plaster in the gap? You don't need any plastering skills to do that. |

you can fill it with anything probably that sets hard. some sand and cement or some extra tile adhesive... I would certainly fill with something though as it will be easier when it comes to grouting.
