*updated with image of original finish showing moulding installation between wall tile and tub
Previous home owner constructed guest bathroom with irregular gap between bottom of shower tile and top of tub. He/she had installed PVC moulding at the interface of the wall tiles+tub to cover up and finish but water got behind and ended up dripping down the side of the tub where the mounding was not present. Removed the moulding and cleaned the area up and found there is a gap between the tile and tub ranging from .25" to just over 1". Interested in improvements compared to moulding (possible removal of last row of tile and installation of taller tile cut to height perhaps. Current tile is 3x6 white subway tile.
I've also read that foam caulk saver tubing could also take up the space and allow silicone to be used but at 1" gap I think I'm pushing my luck there.
It seems that removing the bottom row of tile and cutting new 6x6" subway tile to size would yield the best results, I'm just unfamiliar with tile removal and the risk that could bring.
To a degree, yes. The moulding was installed at the interface of the wall tile and the tub, covering up the gap that existed between the two.
Updated original post with image of bathroom with full moulding installed and an image showing a piece of moulding from a side view to show that the coverage looked like.
Yeah, you should remove the first row of tile and then install that bottom row of tile vertically, and cut them to the correct length so that you can simply caulk the tub edge.
Another option would be a larger contrasting tile which would break up some of the grout lines but noting is going to properly fix the mismatch between walls.
You have to wonder what they were thinking, it's so obvious!
Hi everyone,
I've been searching the interwebs for a situation similar to this, but haven't found one yet, so i thought i'd post on here to see if someone had an idea on how to do this.
We are looking to add crown molding to the ceiling and perimeter of the family room/dining room/kitchen, but i'm stuck on whether or not i can make this intersection work. The room to the right is the kitchen and to the left is the entry way and dining room, which is all open concept to the family room. The kitchen ceiling seems to come down about 1.5-2 inches below the top of the wall to the left. Not sure if that's just poor drywallmanship or not.
Crown on the vaulted ceiling seems to be pretty simple, but i cannot figure out how to bring it down and join the walls at this intersection. I feel like the backside of the ceiling crown would end up hanging below the kitchen ceiling, but maybe it would only do that where it would intersect the horizontal crown on the wall? Maybe the bigger issue is the uneven wall?

I'm putting in a window extension jam, I think the window is out of plumb. Bottom sill jam is level and I have a 1/4" reveal all the way across, right side of the widow jam is plumbed level and also has a 1/4" reveal top and bottom. If I plumb the left side of the window jam I'm showing a 1/4" reveal on the bottom but a 1/2" reveal on the top. I think I only have 2 options, should I try to split the distance on the top which will make my jam a little off level on the left, or should I keep my jam plumbed level and show the 1/2" reveal on top and the 1/4" on the bottom?
