How to fill gap between wall and floor tiles?

msgforsunil

Hello all

1.There is gap between the wall and the tile which is shown in red arrow. I am not sure why this gap and water can be stagnate there if not clean. Should I concrete it with slope towards tile so that water flows always? Can you please give better insight?

2. How do I close the gap shown in blue? Not sure, if water can seep in via it?

Thank you

Hi @msgforsunil,

It appears that the grey tiles were laid over the top of existing cream tiles, and the area in question was not tiled. For the gap marked with the red arrow, you have a couple of options. You could try to find matching tiles to cover this area up to the wall, ensuring it blends seamlessly with the existing floor. Alternatively, your approach of using cement to fill the depression is also valid. If you go this route, make sure to create a slope that directs water away from the wall to prevent pooling and ensure proper drainage.

For the gap highlighted in blue, it’s important to seal it to prevent water from seeping in. Using exterior-grade silicone is a simple and effective solution. Apply a bead of silicone along the gap, smoothing it out with a tool or your finger for a clean finish. This will provide a watertight seal and prevent moisture-related issues. 

Please let me know if you have any questions.
