Top Splashback Tiling related questions

Not necessarily since most bespoke glass splashback fitters carry their tools and equipment on-site, like a masking tape, notch trowel, grout spreader, and sometimes even tile spacers. Your Tasker will only expect you to have the essential supplies ready like the splashback tiles, adhesives, and grout powder. If you don’t have these items yet, you can also ask your Tasker to pick them up at the nearest hardware store along the way. 

It depends on many factors: the size of the wall area, the format of the splashback tiles, the available tools, and skill level of your tile fitter. Usually, tiling an average-sized kitchen or bathroom only takes an entire day to complete. But if you require installation of smaller mosaic tiles, expect longer installation time, maybe a day or two. You can directly ask your Tasker for a more accurate time estimation. 

If the existing tiles are still in their pristine condition, then yes, you can have your splashbacks installed directly over them. But take note that it isn’t exactly the smartest decision to make, as all issues with your old tiles will be carried over to your new splashback tiles. Replacing them will also require you to get rid of the entire thing, which is very costly and impractical.

For most cases, no. Splashback tiles are not compatible for floor application. With a smoother and more slippery surface, stepping on them is downright risky and dangerous. Besides, most of them are also made smaller, lighter, and more fragile. They are not designed to carry heavy objects, unlike floor tiles. Conversely, some floor tiles can qualify as your alternative splashback solution, but only if they are approved and recommended by the product manufacturer. 

If you need a Vistelle splashback installation, Airtasker can connect you to skilled tile fitters who can help. A quick reminder that since the products come in acrylic instead of printed glass or toughened glass, the installation process isn’t similar to how standard tiles are fitted. It needs a different set of tools and adhesives, but with minimal fuss since Vistelle kitchen glass splashbacks are manufactured well and ready to install.

Yes! Taskers can help freshen up your kitchen or bathroom space through cleaning and regrouting without the expense of completely replacing your splashback tiles. They can also help extend the life of your tiles so that you can enjoy your tiles for many years to come. As for the service, an expert can apply a pretreat solution, scrub or scrape away the old grout, apply new grout, and polish the new surface to make them look more presentable.

What do splashback tiling services include?

Not only is splashback tiling complicated and time-consuming, but mistakes are also tricky to hide and costly to fix. Hiring specialists for kitchen splashbacks near you can save you from all the headaches and help you achieve that picture-perfect tiled finish. They cover every step of the installation, from splashback tile measurement, surface preparation and skilful installation to even cleaning and finishing.

If you’re working on a full renovation, Airtasker also has plenty of architects who can plan and design the best kitchen space in a budget that won’t burn a hole in your pocket. Here’s what to expect when you book a splashback fitting service for your kitchen wall:

Preparing your wall surface

If you want to achieve a clean, successful tiling, you first need an adequately prepared wall surface. It needs to be clean, dry, and flat to allow consistent bonding of your splashback tiles. Your tile fitter can help remove any popped nails, sand them smooth, and wipe away dust, grease, or any elements that might compromise the adhesion. If your wall is too bumpy and unevenly textured, you can also hire someone to plaster your walls to guarantee that your tiles will not prematurely lose its grip in the future. 

Measuring your space

Once the space is all set, your Tasker then measures the wall surface to ensure that you're made to measure splashbacks are a perfect fit. You can have them fitted on the entire wall surface or only half-height, depending on your preferred stopping point. If your splashbacks aren’t exactly made to measure, a tiler may also do a little tile cutting and make sure that they fit smoothly around a corner or other obstructions like a plug socket or switch. 

Installing your splashback tiles

The installation process includes the application of tile adhesive, laying down the splashback to the wall, and grouting. Using a notched trowel, your tile fitter spreads a generous amount of tile adhesive across the wall surface, usually starting from the bottom centre. From there, they carefully remove the protective film and lay each row of tiles along with grout spacers underneath each edge. Grouting your tiles comes after the tile adhesive has dried and set in place. Finishing the task, your Tasker can help clean the joints and remove any powdery film or residue. 

How about making your kitchen space a little more functional and organised? Our platform can help you get someone who can design and build a custom cabinet that matches your individual needs. You can also hire someone to install your kitchen appliances and make sure that they are working smoothly and efficiently.

Bathroom splashback tiling

Now that your kitchen project is taken care of, perhaps you’re also looking for help in upgrading your bathroom? The good news is that splashback tiles also work perfectly in wet rooms. Depending on your preference, your tile fitter can install new splashback tiles behind your sink or vanity, around your beloved bathtub or shower enclosures, or pretty much in any area that is always damp and wet.
