Tile Trim Search/Advice

Hi all, first post here so be gentle!

I tiled behind a sink unit a couple of years ago and used Homelux Kitchen Corner Cove 6mm at the joint between the sink unit and the tiles. The job has turned out well as I did not want to use silicone sealant at the join.

I am now wanting to tile above a worksurface and decided to use the same trim. However I am unable to find a stockist of this product, or something similar.

It seems as rare as hen's teeth! Any ideas, other than traipsing around the tile stores in the hope of finding some?

Many thanks.

Been to my two local B & Qs, tried Topps Tiles, CDT Tiles, Tile Giant, even contacted Homelux directly! Their sales department pointed me to Travis Perkins but no luck there! Unable to get a reply from Homelux as to whether it is still a current product!

Just wondering what the experts out there do when tiling down to a worksurface in a kitchen? Seems that an upstand at the back of the worksurface and tile above is the latest trend, with silicone sealant applied at the join. I do not have an upstand at the back of my worksurface.

tile onto the worktop and then a thin bead of silicone

Thanks Norbert87, that would have been ideal. However I went again to B &Q and had a rummage through their stock and behind all of the fancy new trim I found a Diall 1/4" round internal edge trim. That did the job which is now finished. I think the finish is far superior to using silicone sealant, especially if one does not have the skills of the professional tiler!

Yes, I know I have to remove a small amount of grout from the join!!
