Good evening tilers,

I've just had some tile work done in our kitchen and the plastic edging strip sticks out about 5mm above the tile on our window ledge and sides. I am getting to grips with why the tiler has done this - we have plastic edging around the windows and rather than rip those up to raise the tile height, he has tucked the tiles under there and so made the sacrifice at the edging strip. At least that's what I am guessing is the logic? I don't understand at all why he couldn't have used curved edging strips which might have avoided this issue at all?

Anyway, I'm now wondering if there is any way to trim down these edging strips so they don't look so naff and potentially act as a water trap? Or is ripping the tiles up and replacing them the only option?

I'd be grateful for any advice/help.
