The tiler is used has left the seal around the bath like this.

I have sealed the stone and grout, but I thing I should seal his edge, as bits of the grout are falling off.
what sealant should i use? my first thought would be clear silicone, but I've had problems removing it in the past after black spots had formed on it.

cheers,

I would just seal it with a bead of white bathroom silicone you can get anti mould ones now if you are worried about themould but I have just used everbuild white silicone in the past

Either do as inspire has said, or use an over tile bath seal for extra protection, would probably set you back a fiver to do the whole lot and looks a fair bit nicer than the blob of sillycone :)

Judging by that tiny cut in the corner he wasn't a tiler

sad indeed, shame as they look like nice tiles.

I agree, i was very annoyed as the stone tiles were very expensive. there is another line of thin tiles at the other end of the wall - he spaced the tiles so that the shower controls and shower head were centred between tiles a - which looks nice, but causes these problems. what was the alternative?

As a rule tiles should be laid from the wall outwards, having cuts on the outside edge with a tile trim. Just looks more aesthetically pleasing.

It's entirely up to your choice which end you'd prefer the cuts at, as it looks like it was unavoidable to have a small bit left over.

sounds like he's laid them much like you would a floor tile.

Cheers,
