I need some good advice from someone. I built my own whirlpool tub with tile surround box. The tub is a drop-in. It will also double as a shower as the walls all around are tiled. Here's the problem: In order for water to drain on the inside wall while showering (between tub lip and wall) , I had to put a very slight slope in the top of the surround towqrd the drain located in the corner on top of the surround.. Now the gap between the tub lip and and tile is about 3/4 inch near the drain. Right where all the water goes. I need to have an absolute watertight seal there but silicone does not stick real great to the glazed tile. It sticks, but I just don't have alot of faith in it as a long term solution. Is there some type of mastic substance that can be used? And what type of trim can I use to make it look good? I appreciate any advice.
