# How to Finish a Tile Cove Base
If you have installed a tile cove base in your bathroom, then you have tiles that have concave radiuses on the bottom edges of the tiles and convex radiuses on the top edges of the tiles. This allows for tiling the edges of the baseboard along the walls of your bathroom. If you have installed tile cove base tiles in your bathroom, then you may want to finish them by applying and wiping away a grout base.
