Coving on tiles

[matt01]

Got this lady in a big ol house and in one of her 7 on sweet bathrooms she wants coving.
Problem is that the tiles go to the ceiling and she doesn't want to remove any. The tiles are old school 80's style, black, highly glazed with gold patterns. Iesh, really terrible.
Does anyone know if coving, boarding adhesive will adhere to the tiles. ;D

Did this. In my bathroom a few months back. Used supercove as it's light and gripfill to stick. Solid as.

Surprisingly it will adhere. I usually bang some thin sheradised pins through, in line with the grout lines though, to be safe.

As tony m said , no probs

 

[matt01]

Thanks chaps, that is next Sundays job sorted then.

mmmm, and then when the tile adhesive shrinks as it dries,you can make another trip back to fill it again.

I'll put up the coving in the am and do some other work and in the pm I'll put some caulking on the bottom bit.
So no choir practice next sunday then, oh well.

No way am I using that polystyrene crap, that sh1t is for amatures.

my next door neighburs a painter and decorator and swears by the stuff. can't see the point of it when you can put up a 4m length of plaster cove with one man

 

[pezzab]

like i say, supercove is good for putting on tiles as it weighs f all and it looks like plaster cove when its up.

 

[lewisricekrispy]

not used that 1

Used supercove loads but still prefer the solid look/feel of Gyproc.

Less chance of denting?
