If I have the bath here. And I can offer it up to the wall and mark exactly where it's going to go. And it's got four adjustable feet so I can raise or lower it a mill or to if I need to.
The advice is to leave 2 or 3 mm for the silicone.
Is there any reason I can't mark the wall, fix a batten ad tile to that. It's a steel bath, so not much movement. I can get it right up against the wall, cut one tile the right size, mark the bottom of that and use that as the batten height.
The bath is very straight. I've got one of those laser levels so can transfer the line round the walls ok, and if I'm a fraction out I can adjust the height of the bath.
Can anybody see a down side? The only thing I see is that the tile adhesive wont' go all the way down to the bath. But isn't that what the silicone's for, after all.
Why to I want to do this? Ease of working, not getting adhesive + grout on the bath and it makes some of the other workflow better.
Cheers
