The project

I researched so many options for a splashback to cover the holes after I removed some shelves and a knife block. It was going to be time consuming and costly. The simple solution was to fill the holes and paint the tiles myself.

Tools and materials

Materials used in the project:

• Selley's Knead It Aqua
  
  
• Sugar soap
  
  
• Sandpaper
  
  
• Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 undercoat
  
  
• White Knight renew tile and laminate paint.

Tools used in the project:

• Ozito sander.

Steps

Step 1

Wash the tiles using Sugar soap.

Step 2

Sand using a sander and wipe clean.

Step 3

Fill the holes with the putty, following the instructions on the pack.

Step 4

Once dry, sand to a smooth finish.

Step 5

Paint the undercoat, then two coats of top coat, leaving until completely dry between coats.
