A simple guide to tiling

Step Two - Preparation

Fortunately the existing kitchen tiles were already loose so we could remove the old ones quickly and easily by levering them with a screwdriver. Old tiles that are more stubborn will come away with a light tap from a hammer.

As the new tiles were smaller, and would cover a slightly different area, this was more practical than putting them over the existing tiles.

Step 1 - Planning
Step 2 - Preparation
Step 3 - Get it straight
Step 4 - Fixing
Step 5 and 6 - Cutting
Step 7 - Grouting
