Tiling Trim

llocc

I've recently moved into a new house and decided to do a small bit of tiling for the splashbacks around sinks and the hob.

Unfortunately me being me I've gone into it all guns blazing and neglected to look at how you should apply tile trim. I've now come to realise I needed to apply this as I was tiling. The tiles are all now in place but the edging looks terrible.

Is there any trim that can be used once the tiling is complete?

Any other suggestions would be helpful?

You could also cut the back off the tile trim and apply using some white mastic.

Or if its not too much trim just take the top tiles off and then re-apply with trim .

Thanks for the advice.

Is it easy to remove tiles and put them back on. I thought once you took a tile down that it couldn't be used again?

Depends on how good you stuck them on.

If its new tiles you have put down then you have a good chance just to lift them off. Just a flat paint scraper should do the trick. Not too hard or you will chip the tile.

Once there off just clean the back off and then re-apply.

Thanks lads. I'll give it a go.

The idea of cutting the tile trim off and applying with silicon maybe a better solution if u cannot take the tiles off.
