An extension which is being built for me includes an ensuite shower room. It is a semi-wet room - a walk-in tiled-over shower tray separated from the rest of the room by a fixed glass shower screen. The shower area is fully tiled, and outside that "wet" area the walls (plaster on blockwork) are being painted.
The plans show a clear shower width of 800mm, and we don't want anything less; the builder said that the tiling must extend beyond this for the screen to be properly fitted. However he omitted to tell that to the tiler, and so the tiles come to a stop at exactly 800mm width.
The builder now claims that this will be OK, and that the screen can be mounted on the plastered wall and the joint sealed. Is there any way of doing this in a way that will be 100% satisfactory, or should I insist on the tiling being extended?
Many thanks,
Alec.
