i take it you are plastering the lid? stick your coving as normal it will stick to the lid OK but you need to get some fixings through the tiles drill where there is a grout line carefully with "NO hammer on " plug it and screw No6 screws don't over tight, let the coving set first. before drilling. or you can putt small pins through the coving and grout joint and into the plaster, hope this helps

use tile adesive to stick the coving that will help aswell.

I use 30 or 40 mm sheradised pins through grout lines with cove adhesive. Depending on the finish of the tile, it's surprising how well BG cove adhesive sticks to them. I've had to use a hammer and chisel to get cove adhesive off tiles before when ripping old coving down.

Just rake out the tile joint with a knife or tile scribe and use fix n grout, job done !!!! dont bother drilling ???, done loads no probs
