    Tile trim for tub floor
    My first installer did not level the tub in new bathroom, among other things. Once his new tile job was taken down this was discovered, among other things again. Tub had to be pushed back about 3/4 inch, leaving gap on tile floor.
    Any ideas on how to fill this gap? Aside from ripping out the tile on the floor in front of tub? I'm looking to finish this 4 month long redo (!) this week.
    I've found 1/4 and 3/8 and 1inch quarter round - but none quite fit.
    I found a great new contractor - his tile and carpentry work are first rate.

    Thanks!

    If you have access to a wet saw you could cut slivers of tile to fill in the area then grout. Your new tile contractor might be willing to do this for you. Can you post a pic of what you have?

    He has a wet saw - but has already disassembled and taken home.
    I will try to post pictures tonight when I get home from work.

    Thanks for your help!
