ᐅ Tiled side wall in the bathroom poorly executed

Hello fellow homebuilders,

we have an unsightly wall in our T-shaped bathroom and wanted to ask how this could be improved.

See the photo: it’s about the side wall of our ‘T’, tiled up to the ceiling at the front, while on the other side the toilet is tiled only 120 cm (47 inches) high.

From the side, you can clearly see the tile edge trim, but with an offset of 1 cm (0.4 inches) for the reasons explained above. Because of this, my wife can’t sleep peacefully 🙂

I don’t know of any solution for that. This happens when one side is tiled halfway up and the other side isn’t. We have a similar corner in the guest bathroom, which fortunately isn’t directly visible.

We decided to skip the stainless steel trim from the middle upward and had it plastered flush.

Show the other side— it must look even more modest since one side of the stainless steel edge is exposed, right?

Yes, it’s frustrating. This comes from the additional elements that have not been coordinated or discussed with the other trades. The plumber faces such a wall but is only supposed to tile up to 1.20 meters (4 feet). None of this was addressed or planned in a turnkey house project.
I would suggest placing a plant against the flow or installing a towel hook there, so it doesn’t stand out.

The plaster above the tiles in the restroom could have been applied thicker.

But tiling all the way up is not an option for you? That would be the only solution I can think of to make it look seamless.

We had a similar situation on the outside of the shower. When the tiler was here and we had a walkthrough, he said it would look poor in the end as originally planned, and that if we wanted, he could tile the entire outside of the shower all the way up. We gladly accepted that offer at no extra cost.

There are also "corners"/end caps available for these corner rails. This would at least make the open area on the right look better/close it off!
