You'll find tile adhesive can get everywhere. So it's a good idea to protect your surfaces, such as worktop and sink.Then I cut my trim roughly down to size, leaving a cm or two extra. And with the remaining trim, I laid my new cut on top as below and drew along it for a visual.

Firstly, always use tile spacers when tiling. They allow you to continue ensuring your tiling is level and even throughout. You can see above that I'm using a tile adhesive trowel. It should have teeth on it which looks quite notchy. Here, I'm starting where my centre line is, but making sure I only work with enough as I go. Mine probably had about 30 minutes working time before it set. Also, it's an awful thought to take ages cutting a tile with hand tools, only to find you've measured it wrong in the first place.I place a bit of masking tape or rag around my surface, but DON'T masking tape too close. This is solely to catch drips. Then I apply a bead of silicone, My best advice is try to be consistent - not too much, not too little. Now spray the silicone with watered down washing up liquid and smooth run along it with the corner of a credit card. Also, AVOID scraping off with a filling knife or window scraper. Speaking from experience, it's far too easy to chip a tile, which you'll then need to replace. HOW DO I MIX GROUT?

Aria Compact Wet tile cutter like this with diamond blade if you need to cut L-shape tiles (or more than just one straight cut) First, I measured the gap left under my window sill and deducted a 2mm tile spacer gap. *Note, I could curse whoever installed this window sill as really, it isn't deep enough to hide the edges. So, I do plan to build the sill up later with a deeper lip. Then, after transferring your measurement to the tile, line the mark to the top of the tile cutter. And, starting from the bottom, gently push the handle down while moving forward to score the tile. And once you've got to the top, make sure the metal pressure piece is resting on the top edge of the tile. Then gently push down the handle until is cuts in half.

Now, maybe I have OCD, but I found last month's Bostik Fix & Flash resin glue perfect too. (This post honestly isn't sponsored in any way).

It's not often when I hear about grout sealant. In fact, it's only ever been from a handful of my followers who do this for a living. The idea of sealing grout it to doubly make sure it's waterproof and prevent stains. Then continued laying the rest in a straight line as above. However, note I didn't go to the very end of the far left as I knew I needed to add trim behind it. It can be scrubbed off, but it's very very tough. So here I used a plastic sheet with masking tape on a roll. Also, don't forget that stainless steel sinks still scratch.

So after marking a notch to cut around my upstand (far right), I poured water in the cutter and carefully cut. It's scary on the first go, but I fell in love almost immediately. Then tiled as usual. PREPPING FOR GROUTING
