www.ultimatehan... brings you part two of - How to tile a splashback in a kitchen. This video has some good tips and tricks to make the job as easy as possible.
I tiled my bathroom and shower about 9 or 10 years ago, I was a brand new homeowner, and a brand new DIY'er, with little to no advice or know-how. (A few tips from a Home Depot clerk, and my own instincts.) It turned out pretty good! Only one tile settled on the floor a little uneven. ( I used floor leveler there, and apparently didn't build it up enough.) I am now thinking about tiling the back splash in my kitchen. And since there are so many more resources on the internet for us do-it-yourselfers, I thought I'd research to see if I did it right the first time. I did everything you did in this and the previous video, so now I feel confident to tackle the kitchen!! Thank you for your video's! As for the comment about the uncovered worktop, the stuff wipes right off. No big deal. :-)
Lisa Johnson Hi Lisa, It's great that you are prepared to have a go yourself. So many people these days are afraid of doing the most basic of DIY tasks and will get in a trades person to do the work for them. Thanks for the comment ;-)
excellent teacher. Got a evening tiling course coming up and I think got quite a bit of theory down already after this video. I've tiled a bathroom floor before and found that quite easy as it was big tiles but i've yet to do anything else.
@ultimatehandyman must be the same company that built my house, ours have been built for 4yrs now, same units cooker & hob, design etc that's why I just had to ask, great video by the way, thanks for the reply I was about to walk up and down my street to see if you lived here lol
I am going to tile my sisters kitchen and thankful for your videos. It will be the first time I have ever tiled! There isn't a lot to tile though but the problem for me is not having the diamond cutter! Is that the only way to cut around the plug sockets? Thanks again!
+Horse Caring5 (Horsecaring5) You can use an angle grinder with a tile cutting blade, but it is a dusty job. I often cut curves in tiles this way- czcams.com/video/XSwLrPMWtHg/video.html If the tiles are not porcelain you can also use a tile saw, which are very inexpensive compared to a grinder or flat bed tile cutter- fave.co/1LKa8EC
Hi the adhesive I got from BQ LOOKS bit on the dry side which is ready to use in a tub can I use some water to thin it.THE one you are using is is good.

Thanks!

Really great help thanks
thanks alot for the video.
i was wondering, how do you make sure the tiles are leveled and in a strait line?
Nice vid, some people put the bonding on the tiles instead of wall then put them against the wall ,whats best ? Your way looks easier.
Dude you're awesome! Thanks🙏🏾
Thanks Tina ;-)

I bought mine from a local tile shop, but normally stuff from B&Q is ok.
Thanks for the comment
@ultimatehandyman is it in Hattersley Hyde by anychance ?
where was this filmed ? looks like my house ?
Hi can you tell me what size spacers do you use? I’m doing 10cmx10cm tiles
It's all down to personal preference, I'd probably use a spacer either 3mm or 4mm thick
can you tile over tiles
In America its called a 'backsplash'. I don't think I've ever heard 'splashback' before. Otherwise an informative vid. Thanks.
That is correct, but in the UK it is called a splashback.
Thanks for the comment
good work but its not splashback its backsplash
Glad he's not in my kitchen...COVER WORKTOP....BASIC.
I'm glad I'm not in your kitchen as well. There is nothing worse than someone going on about a kitchen worktop like it's a paint job on a Lamborghini.
