Tiling on the ceiling
I'm about to tile my bathroom. The cross section of the room looks something
like this (please view in fixed width font!) _____ | \ | \ | \ | | | | | | | | --------- Essentially, there is a sloping bit of ceiling which is unfortunately above the bath/shower. Which means I'm going to have to tile at least some of it. Has anybody got any experience of tiling something like this? Do I need to take any extra steps to ensure that the tiles don't all fall off, or will standard tile adhesive be ok? Thanks, Jon |

If you buy decent (high grab, is it?) adhesive and the surface is good you'll be fine. Si |

The pre-mixed much that Wickes sell is strong as hell. I can't get it off

Thanks, Jon Standard adhesive will do the trick, no different to tilling the top edge around the window. Dave Jones |
