[QUOTE="Bill, post: 894592"] Good post. firstly, the paint should be removed, if possible, you can do this by scraping, washing and sanding - all three are horrible jobs but they are the most effective. Once the walls are clean and dry, you should then apply a primer to the walls, this should be an sbr or acrylic primer but not PVA. Setting out is done by judging which is best for the look of the kitchen. Normally this would be the centre of the cooker and hood, but this would depend on the tile size and the space between the wall unit size. I personally, do not always continue the bond when going around corners as this can cause more trouble with the visual effect when you have open ends like you have. I would tile the cooker wall first then start with a full tile from the left hand side of your sink wall the full tile from the little wall edge into the corner. You need tile trim to suit the fattest part of the cut tile..... with metros this is usually about 8mm so get one that is 9mm or 10mm at push, 8mm is ok but maybe a bit tight if you are not used to using tile trims. By the flat L shaped trim. It is up to you if you want a trim on the top edge of the tiles. Make sure you finish with a full tile though to make it look neat. [/QUOTE]
