    Default putting edging trim on old tiles

    Hi everyone my name is Tony
    I wanted to put regular metal tile edging ( from B& Q) behind tiles in my bathroom. The reasons for this is that one wall (on a corner) is not straight going vertically so there is a gap which gets larger (gap of 8mm towards the top and no gaps at bottom) as the tiles go up to the ceiling.
    I wanted to know
    1. should I just put extra grout to cover the gap between the edge of the wall and tile
    or
    2. add silicone filler.
    3.If I was to put edging in to hide this, the tiles and adhesive has set. Is there a way to scrape adhesive away to slot tile edging behind? or will i need to remove tiles.
    What would you recommended
    Thanks
    Tony

    From what I understand, I'd be removing the tiles from the window reveal edge fit trims and fit new tiles
