How to put trim/edge in window AFTER tile is already installed?

Ok. Here’s the issue. I had to tile around a window in the bathroom, including the window sill. This window is inside the bathtub/shower stall. Can I put some sort of white plastic trim around the edges of the window so it looks neat and tidy? I would like to have 45 degree angles at the corners too so it looks seamless. This is a DIY job, so of course, there was a tile that was not cut perfectly straight so now I would like to add plastic trim all the way around the window to make it look straight. Can you give me a name of the product or is it just some sort of generic trim you can buy at the hardware store.

What you want is a plastic cove moulding. You should be able to locate something like this at a home center. Cut this with a sharp utility knife and install with clear 100% silicone caulk. Hope this helps.
if i understand your situation, you need a moulding that would wrap the corner, both on the wall, and the window jamb: a 90deg. corner. this is corner mould, corner guard and is available in plastic or PVC; each edge would be 3/4″ or 1″. it can be attached with any exterior construction adhesive.
Hope that helps.
You can use vinyl quarter-round molding and secure it with Liquid Nails adhesive. Use a matching color caulk to seal the edges and you’re done. Allow 24 hrs. to dry before showering or the steam may weaken the glue.
