Bridging a tile gap

Options
We're changing our kitchen worktops to granite, unfortunately these are 300mm deep instead of the 400mm laminate ones we're replacing. We don't want to re-tile so have to find a way of bridging the 100mm gap between the new worktop and the tiles. We've been thinking of tile trim or something similar but can't find a supplier of black 100mm trim. Can anyone suggest a supplier?

    I take it you mean 30mm and 40mm and there will be a 10mm gap.

    Why not just go for a matching granite upstand?

    Google brings up loads of 'black tile trim'

    Why not just raise the worktop by 10mm, then fill the gap underneath with some quadrant etc. that matches your units.

    Just a thought.;)

    10mm ply or mdf on top of the cupboard, flush with the cupboard fronts, then put the granite on top.

    Adjustable feet on the base units? raise by 10mm . this won't be noticed under the units as it will be above the plinth.
