splashback

Hello fellow tilers, Can anybody please tell me what they have found to be their best method for removing a glass splashback, as my customers now require ceramic tile splashback instead, i presume it has been siliconed on. Many thanks Steve

Sent a customer down to the local Tile Giant to look at their Splashbacks, 600mm x 750mm roughly. They were looking at the limegreen one & were told by T/G staff that they have had issues with this particular colour, there is a chemical reaction happening & the adhesive is turning the green...

OK, so further to my last thread about large format tiles on a kitchen splashback, the other half got her way (shock). She has came home with 500mm x 500mm porcelain today. The problem I see with this is that the cooker and distance between the cabinets is 600mm wide. This means if I center...

The other half is adamant that she wants larger tiles for the splashback I am planning on doing this weekend as she wants minimal grout lines. I have had a look online and cant really find much in the way of inspiration. I know the norm is to use smaller sized tiles but was wondering if any...

Our stainless steel splashback above the cooker was really mucky with grease splats. Sprayed it with a kitchen grease cleaner and left it to soak for a few minutes. Was cleaning it with the sponge side of one of those washing up pads, but some of it was real stubborn so without thinking turned...

Hi, I'm new to the forum. We recently hired a Tiler who I got in touch with through another forum and he has done a poor job. What happened was we were quoted £*** by one company to do the splash-back in our newly fitted kitchen, I asked on this other forum in tiling section how much it...

Hi All, After a bit of help, I'm trying to work out the best way to lay the tile trim around the splash back I'm doing on a window. I'm using this trim . I'm tiling up to the bottom of the wall cabinets (one is flush to the window) so I've layed the tile trim down the side of the window/the...

Hi, I need to tile behind the hob. Given that there will be a lot of oil spits and the like, would porcelain be likely to stain? Would an impregnator sealer be enough to stop potential problems? Thanks...
