Subway tile backsplash install. How to deal with wall outlets and fix a failed install.
This video shows tips and tricks regarding outlets while installing a kitchen backsplash.
In this video I was called to fix a kitchen backsplash that had been recently installed. The person who set this tile may have had limited experience and failed to think ahead about trimming out the face plates on the outlets.
The tile was nicely set with one course of subway tile and second of bull nose. The problem was how the tile was cut to allow the outlets.
My solution is to demo the top row of bull nose tile, add another row of subway and finishing with a third row of bull nose.
In this video I provide tips on how to imitate bull nose, how to shim an outlet so the face plate is flush and how to remove a single tile.
