It was all going so well...

In an effort to save some money and gain a few skills I've retiled our bathroom.

I thought my calculations were correct and had planned the number of tiles correctly, but alas I've had a minor cock up.

At the top of the tiles - below the architrave and next to the door theres a small (0.5") gap. I've uploaded some photos for clarity.

What options are available to make it look better?

Is there any product to help in this situation?

All suggestions appreciated.

The top I wouldn't worry just grout it, it's against a white coving no one (apart from you) will ever notice it and you will forget it after a while

The side of the door either cut a strip of tile using an electric tile cutter, they really are quite cheap these days. You can get very narrow slivers of tile with them or use white upvc plastic trim, either this sort of thing,

or look for bath trim quadrant. one more option might be to use some of the mosaic tiles cut from the backing.

Worst case scenario fit a strip of wood and paint it as part of the door frame.

Thanks footprints, I'll give that a bash!
