Corner Bath Finishing Query

clint_eastman

Hi Folks,
Looking for a finishing suggestion on a corner bath. If you see the attached photos, the joint where the front bath panel meets the tiled wall is not flush on both sides, this is because the walls are slightly off plumb (my fault, though its not as bad as it looks in the photo as the front panel isn't held in place yet). Anyway, other than having a huge bead of silicon closing this gap, has anyone any suggestion on a nice looking finish. I suppose I could get a joiner to machine the profile on a block of 2 x 2 and close the gaps at either side with this, although it would be difficult to get the profile nice and neat. Anyway, any helpful suggestions welcome.
Regards,
Clint

You could scrap the bath panel altogether and build up a stud surround with a plywood lining and then tile onto that in a mosaic tile.

Poor Uncle Tom

get a 75 x 25mm strip of hardwood, route the profile of the bath panel into the timber to a depth of 10mm leaving a shoulder for the panel to seat against. You can finish the timber in a white colour and it can slip neatly into the stop beads shown. I would keep the higher profile out and the lower side hidden.

Thanks PUT, this is pretty much what I was thinking with the 2x2 (although your method is better) so I'll think i'll have a go at this, I have a local guy who should be able to route this, cheers.
