Tiles come down over the trim, avoids the opportunity to suffer further pisstaking in 3 months wink

Before our new bath went in, I stripped all the tiles and plater off the walls, back to bare brick. Once the bath was in I sealed it to the brick walls. Then the walls were plastered and again I sealed the bath to the plaster. Then the walls were tiled, where I sealed the bath to the tiles, filling the bath with water each time.
