What can be done about this?

[armyash]

In the middle of an ensuite upgrade. Have fitted the wall boards instead of tiles.

Room will need decorating afterwards. We have cut/knocked the coving out in the shower area so we can fit the boards to the ceiling.

Customer is not having the ceiling skimmed or anything, said they will just be painting it.

I know they are going to moan about the coving need making good. Obviously we will be scraping the lumps out won't leave it as it but I can still see there being an issue.

What can we use to make it look presentable?

I did put in the quote that all decorating is down to customer and needs to be done when we are finished. - saves us putting up with customer coming in and scraping wall paper off while we're trying to fit the enclosure around them. But I can see their point if they argue we've messed their ceiling.

See photos.

Thanks

Just stick some trim on it or edging

Must admit why did you not make it fit bottom if the coving

That was the plan hammer but It would have sat too proud and would have stood out too much.

Hard to tell that from the photos but the boards were a lot thicker.

Looking at getting end caps for the coving. Was thinking some kind of upvc mini coving for inside the shower. If it exists.

Will check it out thanks. Its of those where we could argue the toss but for the sake of not getting a bad name I want to sort it. Guy I'm working with reckons just clean it up and let them deal with it. My name on the job so doing it my way.

I know it doesn’t help now, but for next time. Fit up to the bottom square edge of the coving - sometimes that will be just fine as is. In a case like yours where the board sticks out proud- put another piece of edging trim along the top and mitre the corner of the trim. It looks really tidy this way.
That is a big ugly trim too, get the small square edge trim that just laps around 4/5 mil.

To get over that abortion I think I would remove the remains of the coving in that corner and attach some flat board / soffit on the appropriate width, attach it to the ceiling and butt it up to your boards.

TBH any decent decorator will be able to sort that

Remove the rest of the coving e
