   Should of had a 90 degree return on that bullnose dying into the top of the deck. Call your tile man back to fix it.

   Agree on the return to deck. Other side of counter should match.

   I'll take a different tack. That gap should have been designed out from the start. I wouldn't want a narrow band of paint there, whether or not the bullnose returns down, and I don't especially see bullnose like that as a vertical element, I would keep it horizontal. The deck should have been built a little closer to the doorway so that the casing was against the tile, and a notch cut into the bullnose allowing it (with a self-return) to lap a little way onto the casing.

   On my jobs I'd be expected to either move the door over slightly to close the gap, enlarge the tub deck to close the gap.... or possibly move one or both to INCREASE the gap to a reasonable size, maybe 3-4" minimum.

   From a carpenter's perspective I would change the casing.

   Easiest fix for me. You could even make the existing casing wider by adding on some material.

   That way the style stays the same. "There are three kinds of men: The one that learns by reading, the few who learn by observation and the rest of them have to pee on the electric fence for themselves."Will Rogers

   Is re-casing the door with wider trim an option? How much more trim is in the room?

   Find a square glass tile where the individual tiles are at least 1/8" smaller than the gap, colored similar to the stone, or in a complementary color. Glue or thinset them in and grout with the same color as the stone.

   Makes a nice detail

   A backband is an easy fix.

   Typically backband goes with flat casing.
