Pic attached - please help, wise mumsnetters!
We’re sprucing up our house to go on the market. Our kitchen has wooden worktops (hate them - see ring mark on photo) and no tiled splashback or upstands, just painted wall. We’ve been here 4.5 years and always intended to fix it but have never had the spare cash for a tiler.
We’re repainting/decluttering the kitchen but I think we at least need to do something about the splashback behind the sink. It’s grubby and the paint has peeled where water has collected, despite best efforts to wipe up. I reckon I could tile it with a lot of research and YouTube videos, but the awkwardness is the size. I want to do the length of the windowsill - it’s 177cm long which is fine, but 12cm tall from worktop to sill (give or take a few mm).
I’ve looked online and really struggling to find tiles with that width/length. I don’t really want to have to cut anything as we have no tiling tools/supplies so would be buying everything from scratch. Would 10cm work or would there be too big a space for grout above and below?
Another option could be to use mosaic tiles that we could then trim to fit? Or I’ve also seen acrylic splashbacks that look quite smart, but not sure about fitting.
V grateful for any opinions, thank you.
