I've just had the kitchen skimmed, so a reasonable surface for tiles. My

Might these be a better bet:

Should not have thought so ;-)

If you have a decent flat surface, then "normal" tiles ought to be about
as easy as you will get.

What problems have you had in the past? Perhaps we can suggest some tips
for better results...


Thanks all - think i'll give the mosaics a wide berth then. My 'cheap'
thinking was that it would either save me time.

Anyways, I'll get some plain 15cm ceramic tiles. And actually yes, the
last time I tried, bath to ceiling, the wall was very poor. While I did
make a horlicks of it, they did stay up for the 15 year I was there, and
remained watertight.

Any guides or pointers welcomed, especially for finishing, and the
worktop-meets-tile part.
