Well I have been removing tiles and tidying up.
Questions about joints.
On the blockwork wall
First I will glue and screw the Marmox to the wall.
The tray (which has a lip on the base to prevent overspill) abuts it and is 750 long.
I will use 3 tiles to cover that distance (250x330).
On the last tile will go the enclosure frame up the wall which I will seal up the wall with mastic
Going away from the tray along the wall plasterboard starts the lower half of which is tiled and the upper half is painted which was not skimmed.
So can I get away with butting the Marmox against the plasterboard and filling any unsightly gaps or do I need to tape it and if so the tape will show on the painted half so is there a way of concealing the tape perhaps by scraping away some of the top surface of the plasterboard and then applying the tape as the plasterboard is not tapered at that edge.
It does not sound very sensible to scrape away as the plaster underneath will be revealed and not a good idea to tape that.
The water should be contained by the enclosure frame and the Marmox.
On the stud wall similarly the Marmox will abut the plasterboard so do I need to tape it or not as the whole wall is tiled?
Marmox extends beyond the tray by some 3".
