thank you. am having to look up all these terms - but is all useful. am taking it general consensus is bring ceiling down a bit ratehr than putting some sort of trim. I spent less time choosing the whole bathroom than I have trying to sort this out! thanks people - off to dream of white trims and ceilings!!

Hi, is the runout on the ceiling edge really 12.5 to 50mm ? (1/2 -2 inches).
Looks like the tiling is level, but hard to see actually.
If it were me I wouldve gauged it our so I could have cut to the ceiling; that wouldve disguised the ceiling level quite a bit. Also because your using spots it tends to draw the eye away from the uppermost areas of the room again disguising it even more.
Options I would consider in order of ease are:
find a moulding to hide the gap.( same colour as ceiling of course )
Lower the ceiling; find the low point and have it battened to take up the discrepancy in the ceiling joists, reboard and skim.
That option would take less than a day easily if its no bigger than the average bathroom and shouldnt cost too much.( give the size of the bathroom and I will tell you what it should cost you )
let us know how you get on

setting out is a tilers first job if you dont know were the last tile is going before you start then you are asking for trouble. you could take the top row of tiles off then put a border round the room then refit last row cut to the angle of the ceiling or put on pvc ceiling looks good and is cheap and easily cleaned !
