How to cover metal shower base perimeter?

Hi team, we’ve a hobbed shower with frameless shower glass. How do we cover the exposed metal shower perimeter? I thought it was going to be tiled but my builder said that the job was complete. Is that accurate? I’ve never seen a shower hob that’s metal exposed in this way, it looks unfinished. Thanks for your help

Hello @renie 

 

Let me tag @Dave-1 to make them aware of your questions. I'm not sure how well the paint will hold up in a high moisture environment, especially if it gets wet quite often. I still recommend using the aluminium finish as it has the highest tolerance against water.

Morning @renie 

I would have concerns about the paint lasting in a wet area, There are other metal flashings that could be looked into that may have different colours of metal edging. Other then that the aluminium would possibly be the best fo stability of colour for that area.
