Hi All ,
I am about to commence tiling my kitchen splashback , but have a query/concern regarding an aspect of the job.
I recently fitted new worktops , but due to them being square edged I lost 16mm in depth across the top of the units .
This meant I wasn't able to scribe them to the wall the rear of the worktop doh!.
This has left me gaps in places which are over 10 mm and I am concerned about how to rectify this (see images).
Where do I start with the tiles ? , usually I would start in the centre of the wall but , this is where the worktop butts up against the wall and I am concerned that I will have to put the tile adhesive on so thickly at the gap points that it will slump.
I am also worried about getting my tile faces all level across the full run of the wall.
Am I better to try and fill in the recesses (with plaster / easifill )where the worktop has the widest gaps but still maintaining a flush level across the entire run of the wall ( I am crap at plastering !)
Lastly I was going to use 2 mm spacers between the worktop and the bottom course of tiles but the gap is going make this more complicated.
Any advice or guidance would be very gratefully recieved.
Many Thanks in advance for any help
Glenn
