It would depend on the thickness of the new worktops. At the moment the
existing tiles start with full ones where the current worktop meets the
wall. If it is the same thickness fine. If thinner, I may have to add
some. If thicker, easy to remove the bottom row of tiles and trim them -
as they're held to the wall with ordinary tile adhesive.


My suggestion is to put a small upstand at the back of the new Corian
worktop (or whatever you decide to get). Then butt that up against the
face of the tiles. It looks very effective, and it provides a 100%
waterproof joint.


Simply don't like added on upstands. Look a bodge to me.


No expense spared on my wife's new kitchen (she paid for it:-).

The Corian work top wraps up the wall and forms a window sill.

Incredibly neat workmanship.

She specified a Quooker without realising this meant she could not have
a sink entirely of Corian (heat). The fitter cut out the sink bottom and
put in a stainless steel base.

Part of the cost is because they do a *measure up visit* and create
hardboard templates.
