I'm going to have a wet room built where you can walk out of a doorway (but no actual door or door frame) into a dry area with toilet and basin.
The wet area will be tiled floor to ceiling and the dry area emulsioned as it won't get wet.
On the 'wet' side of the doorway I will have tiles coming to the edge but not turning the corner into the doorway. The tile that I'm using doesn't have its own ceramic edge trim and I don't want to use aluminium or plastic tile trim because I think that will emphasise the transition from tiled to untiled. Also, the tile is white and I can't find a suitable white trim (so many whites
)
I have had advice to either use car enamel touch-up paint or nail varnish to colour the edges of the tiles to match the fronts. Although the edges are glazed you can see the biscuit colour is darker than the white gloss surface. I can see that if this works it will make a neater finish than edge trim.
I guess this is a similar problem to finishing the top of a splashback.
Has anyone used this method? Does it work?
cheers, Denzil
