The nuances of eliminating cracks and gaps of different diameters
Holes of different sizes have their own characteristics and subtleties. They should be taken into account when purchasing material and calculating its quantity.
If the hole is 2–3 cm in size, experts recommend filling it with swing tiles and securing a support from below. This could be a piece of plywood or a profile, a plastic baseboard. The most optimal is PVC panel: it is aesthetically pleasing and reliable. In addition, installation will not take much time. For a small gap, you can use any of the above methods: silicone-based sealant, curb tape, tiles. Cement is also an excellent choice - it is a reliable method, and also durable.
TOP 10 trends in bathroom renovation and decoration

First of all, the design and renovation of a bathroom is based on practical engineering solutions. The interior designer first focuses on what functionality should be present in the room: toilet, bowl, shower, bidet, sink, washing machine, etc. But this is not enough for ergonomic design. Specific finishing materials, furniture models, types of lighting are important, and here fashion trends in bathroom interior design come into play.

Porcelain tiles look very aesthetically pleasing. But this is not its main advantage. It is the large format and lightness of this material that allows you to quickly and without hassle renovate a bathroom. And the second advantage is its beautiful and fashionable appearance. Porcelain tiles are also very practical - due to fewer joints, they are even more practical than regular tiles. Renovating a bathroom with porcelain stoneware will look very modern.
Construction shower tray instead of a cabin or bath bowl

A built-in shower tray instead of a built-in tray is also a more practical solution for hygiene reasons. And the design of glass partitions can be made to order to suit any format and layout of the shower niche.
Wall-integrated toilet cistern

When planning the placement of sanitaryware in the bathroom, you should pay attention to floor-mounted and wall-hung toilets with built-in tanks. They allow you to make the interior more minimalistic, completely getting rid of visible communication pipes.
Overhead sinks for bathroom cabinets

Overhead sinks allow you to leave part of the countertop for convenient placement of any accessories (creams, liquid soap, dry towels). With a solid sink that is integrated directly into the cabinet, it is more difficult to ensure an exceptionally dry surface of the horizontal side zones.
Accent walls for decorating a shower area or bowl

An exceptional design move is to focus on one area: usually a shower niche or the main length of the wall with a bathtub bowl. This approach creates a perspective effect, which visually makes the room larger.
Illuminated mirrors that respond to movement

Such mirrors cannot be the only source of lighting, but together with lighting from overhead (or spotlights) lamps on the ceiling, a chandelier and furniture lighting, they will create ideal lighting. These mirrors are recommended by makeup artists for applying professional makeup. Therefore, your bathroom renovation should take into account your daily lifestyle and hobbies.
Metal Brass Wall Moldings

The cost of such finishing is usually 2,000 rubles per linear meter. We are talking about a stainless steel version with spraying, which is also suitable for the design of walls in the bathroom. There is also an option made of steel with vacuum deposition of titanium nitride. At the same time, none of these options is officially considered brass (the original brass oxidizes and quickly loses its original luxury appearance), but because of their color, such moldings are often called brass.
Spot and overhead lights for ceilings

Such lamps are ideal for lighting bathrooms, toilets, corridors, loggias and balconies, because they do not visually occupy the ceiling space and are often painted in the color of the main finish.
Niches made of plasterboard for organizing small storage and supplying communications

Plasterboard partitions allow you to create niches and even hide all communications in them. This is very relevant in the design of a modern bathroom.
Custom-made furniture with specific dimensions: cabinets, cabinets, countertops

Furniture tailored to the size of your bathroom allows you to use every centimeter of space by organizing storage areas or functional points. A bathroom renovation should ultimately be organized in such a way that every centimeter of space is used.
Additional recommendations
During the renovation process, you may find some useful tips useful:
1. Don't forget about good moisture protection. If necessary, we recommend using a sealant based on two components.
2. If you use a block of wood to construct the frame for cladding, you need to impregnate it with special compounds to protect it from mold and give it durability. Hot drying oil is a proven and safest option in terms of chemical components.
3. Remember that the bathtub must stand very firmly. Cast iron bathtubs are as stable and motionless as possible. Bathtubs made of thin materials, on the contrary, are plastic. Therefore, if the bathtub is not fixed firmly enough, laying the tiles risks cracks and rapid leaks. Lightweight acrylic bathtubs are installed on a pre-mounted frame around the perimeter or in a groove.
4. If the distance is significant, the extra centimeters can be left on both sides of the bathtub and closed using the proposed methods. Visually, such a modification will look more organic.
5. The issue of water stagnation on a lining shelf is resolved:
- laying tiles at an angle of several degrees,
— location of the mixer and shower rod at the opposite end of the bath.
The issue of eliminating the gap, when the length of the bathroom is less than the length of the room, should be approached thoroughly in order to put aside the need to update the appearance of the bathroom for years. We wish you to find the most successful solution and implement it with the highest quality possible!
Unfortunately, the question of how to seal the gap between the bathtub and the wall so that water does not leak is very relevant. Even a small hole can become a big problem: mold and mildew will begin to multiply under the plumbing, and insects will breed. The second option is that the neighbors below will have to pay for expensive repairs. A crack appears at the beginning of repairs, most often due to uneven surfaces.

Full sealing with lining
To avoid problems with water leakage under the bathtub, it should be close to the wall. The following solutions for eliminating the gap between the bathtub and the wall involve complete sealing of the remaining space, as well as waterproofing with modern materials.
When the distance between the edge of the bathtub and a section of the wall fluctuates within a few centimeters, it makes sense to place the bottom row of facing tiles at an angle. If you arrange a tiled shelf without bevels, it can become a convenient place for a jar of shampoo or a cup of coffee.
To eliminate large gaps, more serious procedures are resorted to. Usually the bathtub is moved towards the mixer. If the distance is large so that the structure between the bathtub and the wall remains absolutely motionless, a special “foundation” is made from the floor. To do this, the resulting gap is laid:
- build a brick wall.
The finished base is carefully filled with polyurethane foam and a decorative coating is laid on the top layer. For waterproofing purposes, all cracks are filled with layers of two-component sealant.
Concrete pouring can also serve as a frame for the cladding. It is arranged on a specially mounted formwork. To do this, you can use a wooden beam or a metal profile mounted on the wall below the edge of the bathroom. After completing the work on the front side, the bathtub is covered with a screen or covered with tiles.
To fill small gaps when the length of the bathroom is less than the length of the bathroom, widely used plastic corners are suitable. After fixing them in the desired position, they are additionally treated with a thin layer of sealant. It is worth noting the fragility of such protection: over time, the corners may darken and move away from the wall.
As an alternative to tile trimmings, decorative ceramic plinths are used. PVC-based materials are also perfect for use as a shelf or plank. So, you can cut out a suitable shelf yourself from an ordinary tabletop or window sill. You can purchase the same plastic screen of the required size in a specialized store.

The main causes of gaps and cracks between the bathtub and the wall
There are certain rules for joints: the walls must be at a certain angle. 90 degrees is recommended. If you don't adhere to this, a gap will definitely appear. If the width of the toe angle is greater, the surface of the walls must be leveled. These rules also apply to the floor surface.
Another reason is improper installation of the bathroom. To prevent leakage, you can install it on legs.
A gap may appear if the bathtub itself is shorter and smaller than the plane along which it stands. This issue can be solved by installing a false wall (plasterboard will do). If the room is small and such a wall takes up a lot of space, it is best to groove the walls and lengthen the plumbing. But if nothing can be changed, you will have to look for alternative options. You can seal a large gap between the bathtub and an uneven wall using specialized mixtures.

Basic ways to eliminate gaps between the bathtub and the wall
Select the material carefully - it must meet all standards for bathroom renovations.
Glue or cement mortar
You can cover up unnecessary space with cement mortar. This is a universal composition suitable for solving all household problems. You need to disguise the work with the materials that were selected for the premises earlier. For example, make a border with tiles and cover the hole with plastic panels. If the surface is covered with paint and varnish materials, simply putty it and apply a new coat of paint.

Foot foam
For this room it is necessary to select waterproof material. It is advisable to actively shake the tube a couple of times, mount the spout and begin to seal it a little at a time. Do not fill the hole completely: the foam expands when it starts to dry. Drying time: 1 hour. When the material is completely dry, it is worth cutting off the irregularities with a sharp blade. You can decorate with tiles, tiles, PVC or paint.

Plastic skirting board
First you need to clean and degrease the gap and remove dirt. The baseboard needs to be measured according to the parameters of the bathtub, carefully cut at a certain angle (optimally 45 degrees). The plastic needs to be fixed at problematic joints, without applying glue. Next, it is recommended to attach construction tape to these places (use masking tape). Apply adhesive to the hole, press and hold for 5 minutes. When you wait for the composition to dry, remove the tape. The last stage is filling with a sealed compound.

Silicone
This silicone-based material is considered the most popular type. Among the entire assortment in the store, choose the type that is suitable for rooms with high humidity.

Fugue
It is better to use a fugue based on cement. Ingredients: softeners, dye, filler, finely ground concrete. There are two types - for wide and narrow seams. For wide gaps, coarse sand is used. There are ready-made dry mixtures.

How to avoid cracks and gaps between the bathtub and the wall
Bathtub sizes are most often standard, for example, length – 1.5 m (or 1.7 m). These parameters do not always coincide with the length of the wall. In order to compactly place everything in a small room, sometimes you have to choose between a bathtub and a shower stall. Most often, the joint can be up to 2 cm wide; it occurs between the three walls adjacent to the bathroom. Depending on the presence of protrusions and corners of the product, the gap can be smooth or intermittent. It is difficult to avoid gaps; it is easier to seal them using the above methods.

Think through all the nuances of repair work. In practice, you must first install the bathtub in its place, and then lay the tiles. Remember that this is not an option for acrylic products - only for cast iron or metal. You can lay the tiles from the side, without facing the wall. Drops of water fall directly into the drain, and the small joint is sealed with waterproof sealant.
