Could someone let me know what standard practise is in this situation have searched the internet with no success.

I'm retiling the bathroom soon and plan on 3mm acrylic splashback around the bath shower surrounding walls and wall tiles on rest of the walls.

How should I handle the join between the 3mm acrylic and (6mm?) Wall tiles to avoid a visible step in levels?
Thanks!

You could use a chrome listello type inset trim. Come in 2.4mtr lengths.

Thanks for the reply. How noticeable would the step be do you think? Could it be possible (or a good idea) to board with another sheet of acrylic or ply? behind the splashback to raise it? Just wondering what standard practise is?

You could feather it with shims
