Hi I think I had this problem - original door frame and newly plasterboarded walls led to a very small edge to work to - okay for wallpaper or paint but tiles were proud by some way. My solution - I added a thin wooden bead all round frame. Made a feature of it - sanded down and painted looks good. - hope I understood you frogeye | ||||||||||
