using mosaic tiles as a border - do you need a trim?

noelphobic

as it says in the title really, just another major problem in a long list of problems. Ordered mosaics to use in a border, arrived late so builder left gap for them. Then found they were a lot less thick than the main tiles. Bought backing for them and fitted them but now seem to have a huge(ish) gap both above and below them. Looks too big to be filled with grout and still look and be OK. Wondering if some kind of trim (pencil?) would sort it?

Did the builder know exactly what border mosaic you had ordered? Sounds like he's left the wrong gap & should sort it for you! Or if you can't bear the pain, and want to just do it yourself, would this 10mm Wickes trim work?
