Xedos - these details are really key for anyone not wanting the tile edging to be the showcase in the shower or bathroom renovation. I think tile men have grown used to them as a crutch and now that people are learning that with more planning and better design they can be eliminated. When tile profile edging needs to be used I much prefer to look and feel of Butech's Pro Parts. Chrome plated brass! I'm using some now to frame a frameless Kerdi Line Drain installation. Part of a steam shower build here in West Vancouver. In the picture below you can see the two strips installed on top of the Kerdi Line grate. The kerdi was removed from the top with ease and the double sided glue tape cleaned off. Then the green material was installed - that is Laticrete's Hydro Ban Sheet membrane. Look at the shine on the sides! Butech Pro Part

If I "ignore" the issue, and just caulk over the crack, what's the worst that could happen? Second worst: Water leaks behind the caulk, destroys the studs behind the tile and the joists in the floor, and you have to rip out the whole shower stall, wall and floor and replace everything. And do mold remediation. Worst: Water leaks in there, destroys the studs behind the tile and the joists in the floor, and you step in the shower one morning and the joists give way and you and the shower stall end up in the basement. No fooling, this happened to a friend ... he caulked around the base of a leaky toilet because he didn't want to have to remove/replace toilet and fix the problem. About a year later he sat on the toilet and ended up in the basement because the joists had rotted. The paramedics were amused.

I have an update and would love to get some feedback before I order the final accessories. (Demo begins one week from today!) I got a quote for replacing the vanity with white cabinetry complete with a sitting area, plus hardwiring of sconces. The costs all added up to too much for me, so I'm sticking with my vanity and overhead lighting location. I feel great about my choices for tile, bath tub, paint, and fixtures. My worry is that all the little accessory details won't quite work together, diminishing the beauty of the bathroom as a whole. I need to buy the accessories soon; here's what I have in mind. With overhead lighting instead of sconces, I prefer one large mirror. The mirror is by Pottery Barn, a wooden frame with gold gilt, 72" x 36". Perfect size for the space, very very very hard to find. This is technically a floor-length mirror, so I hope it can be mounted horizontally! PB customer service was useless when asked. The lights are also PB, polished nickel. For practical reasons, I ruled out any overhead lights that take type B bulbs (too dim) and have fabric shades (too hard to clean). As a big plus, these are on sale for $170 each. Do they go with the mirror and the rest of the room? Chandelier is PB, 18" diameter, antique brass, UL-listed. This will be over the tub on a dimmer. It was hard to find a chandy that's not too big, ornate, and/or expensive. Knobs and pulls are glass and polished nickel from Restoration Hardware. Towel ring, TP roll, and hook are Ballard Design in polished nickel. Fabric for the roman shade is gray on cream linen. Shower bench is Signature Hardware in teak. I hope this will help tie in the wood of the vanity with the other side of the room. Towel warmer is polished stainless steel (no nickel option) from Signature Hardware. If anything doesn't quite mesh or looks wrong, I would love to hear, as well as any suggestions for alternatives!

No one has answered, so as a non-lighting expert, I will say that our house had that type of in-ceiling canister with springs. It's really just a housing with trim for recessed lighting. I think if you can't find the right size, you just have to go shop for a new light that will be big enough to fill the hole that's there, or hire out drywall repair, to fix the ceiling enough to make your new light look right. I hope you have one of those special recessed lights for wet spaces like a shower. Additionally, I found these, but I don't know if they are appropriate for a wet area (probably not). https://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwjTo7Hnk7_jAhUSxmQKHbp3ARcYABA7GgJwag&ohost=www.google.com&cid=CAESQOD2FuWv3B4bMcUhfUhXLnCnl5kYEcsm0XPD9IQYVIx0QCXqhJSFUICKICDm-UtL-7ygqLVUM1zul51kHY6RpvI&sig=AOD64_034JKfCiyt76Hhrg_wCTywBQrXbQ&ctype=5&q=&ved=0ahUKEwiN96jnk7_jAhVBnJ4KHWdoBhAQ9aACCDs&adurl= https://www.lumens.com/3-inch-tesla-led-open-square-trim-by-wac-lighting-R345694.html?utm_medium=PLA&utm_source=google&utm_brand=WAC-Lighting&utm_id=R345694&gclid=CjwKCAjwscDpBRBnEiwAnQ0HQGTmqQGcbS7T1LryWQpl_dh2ptLRtfISk-hNSIoxvHblMpooIp3tKBoCdc4QAvD_BwE I googled "recessed light square trim 8.5"
