Here's how I installed my kitchen's subway tile backsplash behind the hob back in August 2020. I love subway/metro tiles - it's an easy and simple way to transform your cooking space.
I talk you through planning, tips from past experiences from cracked tiles, cutting around sockets and more.

Great job looks fab,I’m a tiler by trade so just one point which may help others,don’t use PVA as it turns live again if you manage to get water behind the tiles,the best way to go is to use SBR.
Thanks for the tip!
Thank you Vicki's for a very well and presented video. I've watched around 20, today and yours has, finally, given me all the answers and now the confidence, to make a start on mine, which follows the exact, same layout.
Thanks again and by the way, I'm a Carpenter, but don't, unfortunately, have a daughter, especially as talented as you. 😊
Managed to tile my kitchen during lockdown. Made a fairly good job of it. Got a big area tiled before i had to do any cuts. Ended up with a full box and a part box left in the end. Think i had one socket where it wasnt a brilliant cut but luckily it covered ok. I gave up with a tile float in the end and used a squeegee.
The tile float is hard work! I treated myself to a good one and still couldn't stand it 😄
@@TheCarpentersDaughterUK mine was a good one too. Think lack of space and trying to reach over worktops didnt help. Got mine looking ok though.
Another smashing video! Tiling looks great...that Hello Fresh has made me hungry! 🙂👍 Thanks, Vikkie.👍
😄 And thanks so much! They're yummy to tuck in to 😋
Great looking job you did there Vikkie and good old dad turning up to give a few tips as well.
Thanks so much :) Yes, it's interesting what we learn off experienced parents. Their tips aren't always on TH-cam, either!
Good task as usual , I always call these tiles London underground bog tiles lol 👍😉
Lol... yes, I think you're right 😆
hi Vicki! just the video I needed to see. I was wondering what kind of tile adhesive you use to tile above the hob. Because of the heat does it need to be special? Also you use PVA to brush on the substrate. PVA is a thermoplastic glue and will soften with the heat. Have you had any problems since?
Lovely looking job done.
When I tile I prefer to butter the back of the tile and squish it on. This is good if you have an uneven surface to level up the tiles👍
I did have to do that during my first ever tiling job! I'd left the adhesive on too long and made a couple loose while scrubbing too hard so would have to apply on the back of tiles.
What a fantastic job you did there Vikkie, you make it look so easy, I’m in two minds to tile or panel the bathroom what a hard life I have eh! Lol
I was dying the tile our bathroom here, but sadly I was outvoted and with panelling. It's easy to clean, but I do miss tiles. Good luck with whatever you decide!
Hi, one tool that I have found incredibly useful for tiling and lots of other tasks is a laser level, these have come down in price and are now affordable by anyone. I used to use a spirit level and needed several for use because of getting them in awkward places where a laser level projects a beam of light that can go anywhere that it is needed and although mine cost me a lot of money because they where not a tool used by a hobbyists they can now be bought for as little as £30.00. I am now too old (71) to use then often you are quite young and will find lots of uses in years to come. One small point, you should use your grouting tool at a 45-degree angle to the tiles as the grout will fill the area much easier.
Thanks so much for the tips! I'll look into a laser level :)
My laser level came in very handy. Bought a bosch one from homebase was reduced from around £50-55 down to i seem to recall £20.
@@chrismaplethorpe6781 a very good bargain
@@johnfithian-franks8276 did drop lucky with it. Has come in handy too.
Looks good. I was thinking about ripping out the subway tile in my bathroom and replacing it with some much larger tiles. Currently the grout is white (or should be white). Too hard to keep clean. Perhaps I'll dye the grout a dark color first and if I don't like it, out it comes. Thanks for posting.
Thanks! I was tempted to do that in my last kitchen! It always put me off thinking about whether I'd accidentally do damage with a grout scraping tool!
Forgot to ask how's life on the narrow boat ? Completely gone and back to the house now?
that's a really good job only thing i would say is just remove the outlet cover completely and get spacers afterward, and to help people out more tell them how to measure the actual cuts, thats the hardest part abput tiling ,
Very nice work and best information for us l really love ur ❤ vedios.
Thanks so much and very happy you enjoy them 😊
Looking good!!!!
Thanks so much 😀
2 good tips always use acrylic primer some you can tile on after 30 minutes and trowel lines pointing down 👇 ⬇️ so monster leaves adhesives quicker and doesn't stain grout , great job tho 👏
Thanks for the tips :)
@@TheCarpentersDaughterUK even myself after 30 year of tiling , always something new , when you stop learning you start to fail 👌
Can I ask if your extractor fan and glass fit back perfectly as the tiles must have added thickness ? X
Well done Vickie, it looks really nice and just like you.
Aw, thanks 😊
Great job. I never get the timing right and either take too much grout off when wiping or wait too long and it's stuck on the tiles.
Thanks :) I'm always very light handed with the grout removal just incase 😅
@@TheCarpentersDaughterUK I think that's my downfall, scrape too hard
I hope you dont get burns on the back of your arms from the grout there 🙈
Did you tile the part between the wall and the sink?
Really good video as usual did you use silicone between the gap of the worktop and tiles also if you have any small tiles you can also just put an even layer of tile adhesive with the tile trowel onto the tile just a tip ive used myself keep up the good work
Thanks :) Luckily I didn't need to this time. I did exactly that during my first ever tiling project as some came loose while trying to clean adhesive off after leaving it on too long 🙈
And no... not yet 😆 I've promised myself I'll silicone next week. I damaged the silicone tube that matches the grout I picked and it went off, so need to go out and buy another 😬
@@TheCarpentersDaughterUK ahh fair enough and ive had my fair share of mistakes and breakages while doing tilling both at college and at home but with practice and patience you can create a masterpiece which is what you have created would you ever tackle a floor with tiles even if it's a small area at first its a challenge but i rekon you have the skills to do it its just abit more setting out
Yes, I think I'd enjoy tiling a floor... been looking for an excuse to go out and buy some chalk line for planning 😄
@@TheCarpentersDaughterUK sounds like a good video for the future can't wait to see that plus many more 👍
I can tell you 8 reasons why I dislike that kinda tiling, stainless steel and granite looks. Bloody good job mind you.
I'm curious what the 8 reason are lol
Looks amazing! Just wondering if you put sealant between tiles and worktop?
Thanks :) I may still have that on my list to do... 😆😆 I bought the Larson matching grey, but have somehow knocked the silicone tube clean off and it's now set, so need to go out and buy another one 😬
@@TheCarpentersDaughterUK I hope you show us how to do it, I am hopeless at using silicon sealant. Any tips will be appreciated 🤣
You'll like my previous tiling video from this point. This is the method I'll be doing again :) th-cam.com/video/p6sliUYM5TQ/w-d-xo.html
@@elbishopeb Emma, the best tip for sealant is to apply a line with the applicator then wet a finger and go over it again. This will give you a nice smooth line of sealant without it sticking to your finger because it's wet.
The work top is it a real quartz work top? as I remember you did a video of a work top cover that was a cheaper version of a quartz cover work top.
Yes it's quartz by Maxtop, but it's like a honeycomb filling on the inside, so lighter than it should be... but they're still very heavy 😆
@@TheCarpentersDaughterUK Will look in to this more as I have a house to renovate and next on the list is the kitchen this could be the best option to get that quartz look at a cheaper price because my wife has expensive taste 🙈
It might be best following their Facebook page. I noticed they were having a clear out sale on the shorter lengths a while back :)
really good job on the tiles and i love doing my own DIY and i am not sure how to do my own videos on youtube yet and i like making things i am from united kingdom
Just pick up a camera or camera phone.. stick it on a cheap tripod and have a play with it. You can edit footage for free using imovies on a mac or movie maker on Windows which I did at the very start :)

Your husband is a lucky guy. I think it's awesome more women need to get into trades.
Me too :)
The only person who should be using PVA when it comes to plaster, is the plasterer, once they've finished NEVER use PVA to prep a wall, use a plaster primer or a diluted mix of emulsion paint & don't put tile spacers in between tiles in the T like she did, you should remove all the spacers otherwise it weakens the grout & you will end up with cracks where the spacer were left & even if you regrout it the cracks will come back.
You can help me with mine anytime :)
I'm tiled out unfortunately until my next one 😂😂
@@TheCarpentersDaughterUK lol
If you get animals dont make friends of them .dont make pets out of them they are food .
Ha... that's why I don't think I should have animals on our smallholding. I'd get too attached!
@@TheCarpentersDaughterUK that is all part of the independent homesteading experience.eliminate commercial middle man. Plus you know what goes into you food.
Very true and exactly what my friends at The Restoration Couple tell me. I'm just not ready for that yet, otherwise I'd end up going vegetarian I think!
