I've been tiling my bathroom and have hit a barrier... no idea what to do from this point. Here is a list of problems:

1. There is a gap between the bath and wall... about 1" next to the taps, 1cm on the other end.

2. External edges of 1 wall could use some type of edging strip.

2. Around bath (including that plastered bit on the side) and around windows also need edging/corner strip.

Would appreciate if I could get some tips on how to finish. I've been looking at edge/corner strips but the shapes confuse me... as it they should go under the tile before tiling... I need something that you can just glue on. Should mention also that I'm planning on tiling inside the window box. Thanks.

ooops someone has messed up. Although I am sure you will have used the correct adhesive and not out of a tub.

Angle beads are applied as you tile. The option you have now is to whack them around the window reveal as you tile it. External corner you will have to either take tiles off and do the trim or buy a L shaped plastic trim and retro fit it.

You need a few bodges to get you out of trouble, so will let someone else mention those.

You should have left the bathroom to a pro.
