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

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.


You can butt up against the face of the tiles without an upstand.

A friend has recently redone their kitchen. White glossy units, and
white glossy walls (not tiles, some sort of sheet material). Black
Corian worktop with an upstand. It looks *extremely* smart - IMHO of course.
