    there's all manner of corner and edge trim - along with corner tiles and trim etc to avoid that

    just tell your tiler you don't want sharps edges, he should know what to do ......

    is that your actual room ?

    I would suggest you don't tile it in like that, there's no facility for maintainance, what will do do if the trap gets blocked or the taps need changing a few months or years down the line? :confused:

    As suggested above just don't do it, use proper bath panels and you will avoid the sharp corner and have good access to the plumbing. In fact I have used gloss coated MDF panels on mine (B&Q) and fixed the end one on magnetic catches to hide all the spare loo rolls tissues and shower gels etc. Darn those 2 for 1 offers:D

    hi, no thats not our bathroom. its how i would like it to look after its finished. the bath frame hasnt gone in yet.
    There is a bath panel, its just tiled whcih you can screw in to fix it so that the bath panel is removeable so you can still access the plumbing. we like the look of tiled finish all over

    With a username as such I would highly suspect the OP is female, possibly:p.

    Yes, you shouldn't have to buy anything for your tiler, he's a tiler, he'll give you best advice.
    I'd just use standard trim and do a three way mitre on the corner.

    Time to find a decent tiler I fear, this is something a competent DIYer could do, so a professional should be able to do it no problems.

    If I'm reading it right the bath panel will be tilled and screwed into place so it can be removed for maintenance. If that's right can you not use some plastic corner edging fixed with some mirror screws. But I'm sure you can get access panels to allow for access to plumbing.

    Those tiles, use an anglegrinder (or electric tile cutter)and stone grinder to take all the edges off then smooth off before fitting them. You can also apply clear sealer to all the edges. Get someone with a bit of common sense on to it.

    "Nothing can be done" ? Pffffft.

    Mr. HandyAndy - Really
