@Cupcakes I feel your pain with things like this but you're right in not making a big deal of it. When we had new flooring put down in our kitchen the actual floor looked incredible but the effort put into the skirting and finishing was so bad I just told the guy I would finish it if he left me the material. I think he'd just had enough and needed to get to another job, which I was fine with - he'd done the work I couldn't do. The rest I could.
If I was you I would get some 6mm (maybe there is smaller) quadrant beading and put that in place once you've tiled the hearth. It'll look lovely.
I say I'm not going to get angry about it; I am having a moment of crisis where I question why I bothered if having boards replaced to save DIY effort actually introduces more DIY effort. Spending money to convert one type of problem into another type of problem...
When (if?) visiting in people's homes is allowed again I've no doubt my furniture maker father in law can assist in remedials.
