I've just tiled around a new bath, which will have a shower above it.
I'm going to seal around the bath between the bath and the tiles, so it is waterproof for the shower.
The trouble is I have been left with quite big gaps to fill in places. A couple of the tiles are sitting about 5mm up off the edge of the bath, but the edge of the bath is also quite a way out off the tile too due the the shape of the curvature of the bath top, which makes the gap seem even bigger.
I hope this makes sense.
Basically, is 5mm high by 5mm out too big a gap to seal with bathroom sealent, or should my tiles actually touch the bath edge? I was told to leave a few mm gap, but it looks a big gap to fill to me.
Would I be better off filling the gap with something else (i.e. grout?) and then putting the sealant on top of the grout.
Hope this makes sense - its a bit difficult to describe without pictures.
Thanks
