Hi all.

We moved into our house a few years ago. The previous owners had a new bathroom and upstairs toilet installed and there was a lot of bodging happening apparently (e.g., cupboards without handles, attaching the toilet lid to the base with silcone, installing the toilet pipes the wrong way round, etc). Fortunately we've avoided any major catastrophes apart from a ceiling leak as a result of their shoddy pipework. /rant.

They left the tiling unedged in the bathroom and toilet upstairs. The bathroom we're having redone, but I want to know how to edge the small amount of tiling in the upstairs toilet. I've attached photos.

I'm a novice and need to do this on the cheap (both in terms of materials and time). Taking the tiles off is and slipping proper tile edging behind the tiles (as I've seen recommended elsewhere) is not an option, although I am aware it would give the best finish.

I was thinking of attaching PVC edging to it, something like uPVC quadrant moulding, unless someone can suggest something better. Would silicone be ok to attach this? Also, does anyone have any recommendations for how I could finish the corners off relatively neatly?

Thanks all.
