I have a 900mm * 900mm shower base which sits right next to the bath - the bath appears to be 820 or 840mm wide.
So the shower area is wider than the bath - thats fine... I have seen it before. I do not wish to extend the bath width with a tile surround against the wall - as it is rather a small bathroom, so keeping this setup is preferable.
Every picture I can find of a bath next to a shower - they appear as the same width. They appear to tile the inside wall between the shower and the bath, and place the shower screen flush on top of that.
OK - I could do this... but what about where it is wider than the bath - what is the normal situation here...
Do I tile out to the width of the shower, thus building a little return so that the tiles around the bath are flush with the edge of the bath, and then extend out to the width of the shower ?
Or do I tile around the bath - leaving a gap of the 100mm or so in the corner of the shower - thus when the shower screen is made, it is shaped like an L. The screen comes down to the top lip of the bath, and continues to the floor where the shower screen is wider than the bath.
I think cosmetically the later option would look better from the outside of the shower - but want to find out if this is the normal way it would be done, and if shower screen installers can actually cut it this way ?
Thanks
