Hey guys, new to the forum.. I'm currently tiling a bathroom and have the tiles cut around the window in the front wall.. I've tried my hardest to get the edge of the window tiles as straight as can be but when placing a tile edge trim up against the line there's a 1mm gap every now and then.. As in its not quite 100 percent a straight line.. I'm planning on using a tile file when dried tomorrow but just wondered if there is something I could of done different.. I've tried using a sanding stone but it'd take me an age to sand off 1mm.. Is it normal to have a 'slight' grout edge on the flush trim and will it be really noticeable if so? Diy'er but a perfectionist so I want it to be as perfect as possible.. Thanks 😊

Best post a picture so we can give better advice.
You may need to run an angle grinder along the edge but most times a spacer peg gives an evenjoint.

Haha.. Do you think I should put a 2mm spacer between the trim and the tile then? I'm using 30 x 60cm tiles with 4mm spacers.. Didn't know wether people use a spacer between the tile trim and the tile to grout in? 😊
