£375

Information Sheet on the Cost of Tiling a Kitchen Splashback


What a nice little job! If the kitchen fitter knew his stuff the work surface is level, everything’s at a reasonable height and the kettle is always within reach. True there are a couple of electrical sockets he will have to cut around but he’s had worse jobs. Don’t try and cook the dinner while he’s still there though, particularly if it’s curry, it will drive him mad.

Tilers do love a nice Ruby! (One for the trade).
