Hi all,
I am about to undergo tiling a kitchen worktop. Currently our kitchen worktop is made up of several small tiles which are messy and inconvenient. The most cost effective method of revamping the worktop was to retile over it using much larger tiles with a granite style finish. I feel...

Hi
Making a sink worktop to be tiled in Porcelain 600x300's. I need something structural for the weight of the sink - waterproof ply would do 12mm or 18mm. However, would people recommend that I then use something like 6mm Hardibacker on top of that? Or is it fine to lay direct onto the ply -...

Just had a call from someone asking if i'm able to tile his existing laminate worktops. I admitted that i'd never done it and wasn't sure if it could be done. I explained that it might be better to remove them and build a worktop from marine ply with a wood-lipped edge so the tiles could be laid...

Starting a splashback tomorrow & have put level on worktop & it ain't level :mad2:
Levelling worktops isn't an option I'm afraid.
Was wondering do you just treat it same as an unlevel bath i.e miss out first row of tiles then put in cuts at end?
Martyn :thumbsup:

How is this best done? I have seen many kitchens where the join between the worktop and the wall tiles is sealed with silicon, but this has cracked and peeled because, I suspect, of movement of the worktop. Anybody got any tips??
