Massive gaps around bath ! (Help)

[John Joseph]

I have removed old mouldy sealant from around the bath and discovered that the gap around is inconsistent. Parts are very close with little to no gap but other areas the gaps are big (about 10mm)

What can I do ? Or is it just a case of using sealant with a massive cut?

You need to dismantle your boxing and make it smaller and tile the face so if anything is visible it's tiled.

Thanks - I take it that refers to picture one - any advice on the other gaps?

Bumping thread - really need a little advice on what to do with these holes?
They were pumped full of silicone then grouted on top around the pipes.

It's been suggested by someone I shown the pic to to take the tile off, alter the pipework so the pipes coming out the wall are at a straight angle then recut a tile with circles around the changed pipework (and thus making the gaps smaller which can then be sealed rather than a big gloop of silicone and grouting put in)

any other suggestions?

Give us a break - perhaps show pics of the full context of where the pipes emerge? Pics showing the whole bath would also help.

Hi - can you not see the pictures attached?? it shows exactly where the pipes emerge out the tiles ....

Here's another (before grout was removed)

With respect, i asked for context.

I have sealed the bath so am only left with not knowing what to do with these pipes for the shower / the tile surrounding:

Try googling 'pipe collars' and see if there's anything suitable?
Not the best but there's not many options left!

Ah nice one - so take it these would snap around the pipe then I can seal around it ?
The only difficult thing is the angle the pipes go into the wall. Might end up having to look at changing the pipe work but really didn't want to take the tiles off..
