How can I cover up the gaps inbetween the rubber floor tiles that have been laid in my bathroom and toilet?

Question

The tiles are white and very large, and the lines inbetween them are really unsightly - they're very dark and show up, even though they're very thin. I think it's mostly because of the colour of the tiles. Is there a product that will be able to seal these tiny gaps?

Thanks so much for all your help - I should clarify though, that the tiles haven't been laid incorrectly - they've really been squashed together as much as they can be, it's just that there are very distinct lines inbetween them. I'm going to try the silicone/caulking thing at then get back to you!

yup, that has worked absolutely perfectly on the area that I tested. I'm going to wait until it dries, test it, then fill in all the rest of the gaps with silicone. Thanks so much for your help!!!

Answer 1

Use a white silicone caulk and smooth it down before it hardens.

Answer 2

White silicone. Use a clauking gun to pump out silicone, then smooth it with your finger. Tiles next to toilet, be sure to overlap the bead just onto the tile or the tile edge with still show after it dries. If there are gaps between tiles, use putty knife. If it is a small bath, you'd be better off pulling up the tiles and redoing the whole bath. Be sure to pull toilet and lay tiles under it. Only takes a few minutes to pull toilet and it can be replaced in less than 15 minutes.

I don't personally know of anything that will cover them up. I would guess that the tiles in which you speak are self adhesive? If so, then try heating them up with a hair dryer (high heat) and sliding them closer together. After this, clean this area with a cleaner like Goo Gone. You should be happy with the results.
