Use a file to smooth edge..not to much to ruff it.. Emery boards work well..

it doesnt look that bad tbh.

i have filed it gently. too much will mark the good face/edge. just worried about somebody hurting on it. i was thinking of the corner protectors you get in packaging.
I had this on my mates job last year, loads of externals too as they wanted it just half tiling. Did my head in. The trim wasn't perfectly circular, as in one side was longer than they other so they never matched perfectly. Bodged it a bit in the end by tapping the sharp corner down a little. It really needed the trim replacing but it took me as long to cut them all as it did to tile it brick-bond. A free job so left it at that with no sharp edges but not the best look.
Always plastic from now on for me! That is, when I do the odd job. Managed to avoid tiles at all cost this year I think![]()

It will look naff.. make sure you lightly file and i mean lightly file the top edge point then it will be fine..


yeah you're probably right. customer's happy so i guess that's the main thing. i had to tile round a bend on the other end of the bath. that was fun!![]()
