Bathroom Mosaic Glass Splash Back Preparation Advice

[tom8080]

See photo... is this standard preparation for a mosaic glass splash back in the bathroom?

The wall was freshly painted.

Will this need now to be skimmed or can the tiles be applied immediately to this surface with some good adhesive? Is a mesh of some sort required for alignment?

The tiles are going to be just the width of of the sink and to the top of the ledge (basically the top of the photo).

What do you suggest the next steps are, so whoever takes this job on, I know does a really really good job and how much should I consider paying?

Cheers.

This and a few other points were my concern. I was trying to be diplomatic but you've blown that out of the water Lee! 😀😛

The OP is checking to see if he should pay the poor 'tiler' or not!

What I don't understand is why didn't they just come with the finished picture

He's checking everything to save the £20 due!

Fortunately I'm cross-eyed so it looks perfectly aligned, haha. Love the fact he couldn't even be arsed to add sealant between the sink and the tiles. The guy wanted to do my kitchen floor too, hmmm, let me think about that... NO! He was so mad that I turned him down.

I'm going to post a review on mybuilder. Does anyone want to provide their 'professional' opinion as to why this is a bad job. Just so it's not a biased review, haha.

It's just a splash back!
