Discuss Gap between tiles and worktop in the British & UK Tiling Forum area at TilersForums.com.

Good evening. Im not sure if this is the best place to ask this but I'm looking fir some advice on what to do about a gap between the worktop and tiles. Long story short I've a gap of around 9mm between the tiles and worktop. The reason I've ended up with this gap is due to the window by the sink. So I end up with a full tile beneath the sill rather then a cut tile as its got corner trim i thought this would look better and work out ok with Silicon. but after doing it I'm not happy with it as one the Silicon isn't perfect and I'm going to re do it. But also it's quite thick. Any advice would be great. Please see attached photo. Please be gentle on my effort it's my only my 3rd go at tiling. Thanks in advance

Bit late now i would of attempted to trim bit off height of sill, can only fill it now as neat as possible , i dont use Silicon in kitchens anymore , it discolours very quick
Can use Silicon molding tools to get uniform lines but is always going to be thick at 9mm
