    Default the fruits of my labours !!!!

    been a bit of a marathon to me , and highly likely i would have failed at some point without the masses of help i have had from people on here , the tiles were from B&Q ( boo i hear you say ) the price was right £15 / m2 , adhesive was Mapei P9 and the grout was Mapei Buildfix Oyster Silver ( both very nice to use ) , added Mapei silver glitter for a bit of a WOW effect , well worth it even if i did look like a sodding glitter fairy because of it

    before




    after



    thanks all
    Call me Paul

    was kinda forced into because the previous owners had tiled there before , leaving addy marks on the side of the cabinets , plus i would have had to shorten the trim around the bottom of the cabinets to suit , and if i had got that wrong then it would have snowballed the job , so i thought tile them and be done with it

    I mean your work top. The new dark one looks much better than the old and really go's with your new tiles.

    Nice clean work Paul.

    Tip- Always clear the area before taking photographs. It looks more dynamic and will help you to get your next job. By the looks of things you will have no problem with a written reference also. Well done!
