I CAN NOT LEVEL WALLS AS THIS IS A LISTED BUILDING. I HAVE SMALL CERAMIC TILES ON AT PRESENT BUT THEY ARE UNTIDY. I WANT TO USE BIGGER TILES TO PULL THE LOOK OF THE BATHROOM TOGETHER

Perhaps you could consider using mosiac tiles as these would be a lot easier to apply to on a rounded wall.
They can look very chic but at the same time retain a traditional look. They are some wonder glass tiles out there was well, all different shapes and sizes.
Good tile hunting.

The Rev is right we need to know more details to give you an informed answer, but the bottom line is other than the Mosaic and smaller tiles there is no real feasible way to put larger 6x6 , 8x8 or even larger tiles on the wall if it is rounded. There are new updated looks for mosaics that might surprise you. Try www.daltile.com it is a good website. Please repost and clarify what a "Listed Building" means. Good luck

Some strange answers here.
I've applied thousands of sq. ft. of tile, and you have what is suitable already.
What is the circumferance, as opposed to the existing tile size?
What is a "Listed Building" Is it in some historical register?
You don't state the size of the current wall tile, nor the circumference of the wall, so it's rather difficult to give you any accurate advice?
"BENDY TILE"????????????????????? Hmmm news to me!
You state it's LISTED yet you're able to remove and replace???
If that's the case I'd finish the circumference NON TILED, with a paint color that coordinates, even textured, or faux finished.

I've seen tiles built to withstand heat such as near a wood burning stove which are all connected already with a fiberglass type string holding them in line, I would see if they are available and try that in order to give it a straight and neat look . They are easily trimmed to size and glued on together then you apply grout to fill in the gaps after installation.

buy bendy tiles they are very good for rounded walls, easy to cut and not much dearer than ordinary tiles.

you can buy mosaic tiles that are on netting so these might work if not you can buy nice paper that looks like tiles hope this helps....
