Hi, please looking for some advice, so we had a horrible tiler leave a tiny gap between the tiles and the ceiling, I honestly don't know what to cover it with to make it look seamless. The tiler lied to us and later we found out he's never actually tiled before. Any advice will be appreciated.

Is it too big for a tidy bead of white silicone? That's all it should have had in the first place. It doesn't look like a huge gap from the pic, but I could be wrong, how big is it?

Hi I think it's about 1cm to 1.5cm. can I cut a tile that thin to fit in the space, or would it snap? I would have liked for the tile to touch the ceiling.

A slither that small will look awful, and there should be a 5 to 6mm gap between tile and ceiling anyway, which should then be siliconed. I'd just put a thicker bead of silicone around the top and it will look just fine 👍

I am also going to use this thing. Thanks for the solution.
