Shower niche tile unfinished edge

I hired a construction company to remodel my master bath, they just completed the job and upon first glance it looked great and I blessed the work. After they left and I looked more closely, they have left a raw edge on the tile around both shower niches that were installed. Not only does this look terrible (note the barcode showing on one edge), it won't be waterproof as that raw edge will absorb water unless sealed in some way. What do I do?? Fix it myself? Call them back to cut out and correct the problem? Call a tile expert to fix? I have not yet paid the balance on the job.

That is not a professional job. Good thing you have not paid in full. That needs to be removed and redone properly with bull nose and polish the edges of the glass tile so they meet properly and not show such a wide grout joint to cover the edge of the rough cut glass tile. This is something THEY need to do. What I suggest is common practice that is done by professional tile setters. I hope they can do you justice.
