Take a pic of the window facing it with out any obsticles in the way. Might have a better view

Will do as soon as I'm home from work

The other option could be to lower the sill to the height of the two vertical tiles and the trim so level with sill tiles

I did think that but the original tile is already pretty much as far as it could go up the window frame.

Looking at your pic the tiles on the sill are packed up, remove those and doesn't look too far off..

an idiotic question. (I keep thinking).
because ye always put tiles on the sill?
because not put marble slab. or the wooden?
us here. put tile 1 in 1000.

Take the old tiles off the sill and it looks like it will be fine by the looks of it

It's a bit too late not but you could have sat the first row on some chrome trim....or maybe have fit an upstand and tile from that..that would have also got over your gaps from worktop too wall too....can you not remove the cill tiles and lower the cill?

You should have tried herringbone then you wouldn't need to worry about the window cill.

 

[Martino]

Or not use that size tile at all then.... Preparation is vital!....fail to prepare....prepare to fail

Little bit of an update, I've been busy with work so have had to leave the kitchen for a few days.

Started by knocking the old tiles off the window and was greeted by this....

Someone in the past seemed to think it would be a good idea to put another inch of plaster over the original skim, so I'll be spending my Friday night getting it all off 😎

Then depending on where the vertical tiles lay I may board the sill to get at least another 1/4 of vertical tile in.
