I have been asked to tile a bathroom for a friend.
There are two arches in the room (window and niche).
My problem is; how do I do a neat job? considering
the tiles will not go inside the arch itself but stop at the
edge of the wall.
Can you get bendy plastic trim, of the kind used for plastering?

Already thought of it, but it is not ideal.

What you should have done first is put bath tile plastic beading around the
arch, cut the side tile side every 2" so that it forms around the arch,the
tiles will cover the tiling side and leave a neat ridge proud of the tiles
and a neat plast facia inside the arch.
