Chancer Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I have two bathrooms in loft apartments where the roof slopes down over the bath/shower, I want to tile around the bath and also need to do this sloping ceiling or it is going to become mouldy.Can it be done? Are there any special tips? What tile cement to use etc?I will be back in the UK soon if it needs to be a product from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anton Redman Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Subject to the right thickness of tile cement I would not have thought it was a problem.

PaulT Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Have a look at Screwfix online - www.screwfix.co.ukThey do a large range of tile adhesives and you should find one there.Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Théière Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Does depend on the size of the tiles too.600x400 on yer bike, or possibly head [Www][:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can it be done?[/quote]Well our upstairs bathroom is as in your description, ie the whole room forms a triangle. The sloping part starts at 60 cm from the floor and goes up and over the bath til it joins up with the (corridor) wall. And we have tiles 20 cm x 25 cm on both sides of the large velux which provides the light and enough of a cut-out in the sloping wall to give people taller than me some headroom. On the other hand I have absolutely no idea what was used to put the tiles up there. it must have been good as the house is 14 years old and the tiles date from then. We have had no problems of anything dropping off the walls - yet.I'd take a photo or two but the camera batteries are not charged at the mo.

Chancer Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 It sounds exactly the same Sue, right down to opening the Velux for tall people!I would like to see a photo if you are able, you never know I may have missed something or may take some inspiration.Do you think that your tiles are onto plasterboard or tile backer board?
