    This forum is most helpful I wish I'd discovered it sooner

    Another gap problem , this time between the bathtub and wall of about 1.5cm. What's the best way to fill/cover it?

    The best way to fix this was prevent it in the first place by starting your tiling at the bath instead of the ceiling....but now that it's done....head back down to your tile shop and have a squiz at their nik-nak section down the back. What you are looking for is a beading tile which is often used as a finisher or as a relief in a big wall of tiles. Grab a few (they won't be cheap) and glue them in.
    Ours is not to reason why.....only to point and giggle.

    Basically you've left a gap that.s too big.

    You'll need to install the bead tile as suggested and make sure you use a good quality sealant afterwards to prevent splash water getting in there.
    If you dont play it, it's not an instrument!
