Default bridging gap

Alright,

any suggestions on the following would be helpful.
Doing bath splashback using metro tiles which are 10mm thick in centre although they taper down to about 8 or 9 i think at the edge, now the bath corner hits the door architrave before the wall therefore leaving a gap approx 20mm from bath to wall. I have thought about boarding it but then i'd have a ledge at the top as i'm only coming up about two or three foot so thought against that then maybe use some 90 degree trim to bridge gap but then i'd have trim coming from under the tiles which would'nt look the best either.
I was going to plumb for the second idea unless you brainiacs can think of something better.

Cheers Steve.

p.s the reason i'm going for the 2nd idea is that if i board it then once the tiles are on they may protrude further from the architrave.

Cheers Again.
