Hi

Due to a cock up I am left with a rather large gap between my shower tray and my first tile. Dont ask how or why, I just have!!

The gap is approx 12-15mm; too big to grout I think and too small to fit a cut tile - I think?

Is there a waterproof filler, white in colour that I could use to fill the gap??

Any advice?

Thanks

you could do what boycie does, fill it up with todays papers, then paint over!! ;)
 
You don't want to be filling that gap with grout really. And it's a bit big for silicone too.
If you can't raise the tray, how about using a thin piece of pvc window trim siliconed in place to bridge the gap?

You could cut a slither that thickness if the tiles are a decent thickness and you use a wet cutter but it's not a great situation to be left in.

Would definatley try gcols suggestion and raise the tray.

I prefer yesterdays papers and would use varnish as oppose to paint ;)
