Coving onto Tiles

[Arti]

Got a bathroom to cove 127 which is all tiled. Not sure easy fill will get a good hold on the tiles and can't pin the cove to keep it up. I can screw the top obviously @malc mentioned using tile addy for cornice so is this the gear I need for the tiles?

Thanks in advance

Use pink grip on the tiles, then fill it underneath with whatever you use on the ceiling edge, that’s what i’ve Done in the past.

Use the paper faced light weight paper cove called super cove looks100% like gyprock but no weight to worry about!

Either way it's guna look s**t in a bathroom imo!

i love to use the lightweight cove but it is only about 105mm. Arties cove is the 127mm, which i remember correct is the gyproc cornice.
i would just give the tiles and the ceiling a coat of PVA and use gyproc cove adhesive.

I’ve used lightweight supercove in 3.6m/4m lengths a few years ago but not sure if they still do it.

You can tile on tile so I would use tile adhesive.

Na ,what you need is to get the tiles to accept the adhesive. Cut a small piece of cove , mark all round the area using that piece it as a template. Pencil it. Masking tape below it, prime the area above pencil line with Zinsser oil based primer, goes of in an hour,if you want it bullet proof then coat again with pink grit. remove tape. Fit coving using the spaces between tiles ( the grout ) as pin points for clouts. Tile adhesive is belt and braces too. Hope that helps

Prime edge of coving with watered down sbr and let dry. Use sticks like s**t grab adhesive to stick to tile.

Still could fail, small chance though tbf ! Imo, you need to sort out the surface ( shiny tiles ) then your good to go. Cheers

Ffs, its Gavine !

Could do. Standard coving jobs can fail. If ceiling edge stuck well, then reckon it’ll be ok.

Sorry gavin.
I have knocked off loads of tiles where there were other tiles underneath with nothing but tile adhesive between the two.

So true , good point ! I just like things done the way I like them done.

Your starting to be annoying , again !!

You could just go mental with silicone! Everywhere !!!!!! Then try out Tapits tape to hold it in place while it sets / falls off !!

Fair enough. But why are you apologising ?

could blue grit the tiles first?...give something for the adhesive to key to.

although not done it myself,you can actually skim over tiles after application of grit anyway so in theory it should work.

What wrong with Cove adhesive,never had a fail onto tiles with it

Exactly mate! Simple really ain’t it.
Never read so much faffing about nonsense, some have even said pva the tiles first ffs! pfft!!!!

That would be far too simple and make far too much sense !

Have done it before, in all seriousness, just used decorators calk on the tiles, worked out ok.

 

[McBentLegs]

Cove adhesive won't stick to tiles or paint (had it fail before).

However providing its got a good grip on the ceiling (not painted) and a few screws it's not going anywhere.. Maybe stick bottom edge with caulk on pink grip as suggested, that'll be plenty.

Obviously over kill would be to mask up and SBR slurry the top 80mm of tiles or just tile adhesive, most tile addys have no problem sticking to tiles.

Use gun grade plasterboard expanding foam, sets in 10 minutes and then just easy fill top and bottom.

Have done some plaster cornice and the adhesive they supplied for that I'm sure was tile adhesive
Had that tile adhesive smell anyway
