Suggestions needed for gap between floor and tiles

[blusteryshowersaway]

In our bathroom there is a gap between the tiles and the flooring. We’ve tried filling it but the gap is just that little bit too big so the filler lifts and dirt etc gets behind and it just looks a bit rubbish.

I hope that makes sense but I wonder if anyone has any suggestions for anything that might look ok to fill the gap?

Skirting?

Thanks. My husband said that but I can’t visualise it. I think it might look a bit naff.

This is a photo of the gap.

Have you got a picture so the actual gap size can be seen?

Think our tiles cone to the floor. Off to look!

Why would it look naff? Pretty much every room I've ever been in has skirting. The very purpose of skirting is to neaten the gap between floor and wall.

Very unusual to see skirting in a bathroom, normally you will find the wall tiling goes down to the floor and the gap is sealed with silicon (to provide a watertight seal).

How about filling it with grout and then get the silicon man (or woman) to whip along the edge.

The answer is skirting. Skirting is common in bathrooms where the walls aren't tiled.

What is the floor? I can’t quite work it out from the picture.

I agree I’m not keen on proper skirting with tiles.

You can get flexible sealant or ‘skirting’ strips like this, they aren’t as bulky.

The flooring is Lino.

Is the gap the same width all the way along? If so you can get metal trims (lots of different tones, chrome, brass etc) that look very smart. We have a length of brass trim, around 5mm wide in between our doorway and where our tiles end to fill a similar gap.

Absolutely useless at links but like this

You can either get the real deal or stuff on a reel to see if you like the effect: - look up flexible moulding trim on Amazon to see the kind of thing.

Should say the trims come in a variety of widths. Lots around 9.5mm.

Wooden quadrant beading comes in several sizes. You can paint it then varnish it. Stick with glue and perhaps the occasional panel pin. I’ve done this, it looks good and is effective

Thanks. Can I just check, something like this?

Strips

Thanks. I’ll show this to DH.

The walls are tiled though.

Thanks. Could you possibly try the link again, it’s not a clicky one.

You want a scotia trim. Can get wood or plastic in various colours and will happily cover that gap between floor and walls. Then seal with silicone to stop any water getting over/under

The floor tiles as skirting

Professionally applied mastic to fill and seal the gap?

I think skirting would be preferable to the different trims suggested tbh - tiled walls or not.

I disagree.
