Good morning, happy bank holiday! I am so excited because I've got three days off
and I get to do what I love. I get to spend my time in my kitchen doing some
DIY. I've given myself like three days just in case this takes me a super long
time because I don't want to go back to work and not have this finished and completely perfect. If you've been following my channel you might already
know that I have previously covered these kitchen cupboards that used to be
like a tan colour with this matte grey vinyl from DC Fix and it's amazing what
a difference it's made to my kitchen. And these tiles used to be cream colour and
I painted them white and it looks, it looks much much better but I've been
gifted some amazing products from a company called Create Your World Limited
and these are basically the DC Fix products and the things that I've used
before apart from this one, this tile one here, that is going to be put over my
tiles and I'm ridiculously excited about this. I have a little bit of a thing for
really nice tiles but I can't afford really nice tiles so I'm going to cover
these disgusting old tiles with this amazing vinyl stuff that looks so
beautiful and it kind of looks like real tiles if you didn't know. I mean I have
this thing about telling everybody like, well you could say that they'll look
like real tiles if you don't tell anyone but the first thing I'll do when people
walk through my doors, oh my god have you seen this stuff? They're not real! I have got to first do all the
prep work so first of all I need to remove the old vinyl because I've also
covered my work tops in this vinyl stuff already, this wood effect grey colour but
since doing that I've painted the walls grey as well, it's a little bit too grey
especially if I'm going to change the tiles to grey tiles as well it's going
to look a little bit too grey. Yeah I'm going to change it to another wood
effect from DC Fix but it's more of a, it's got a little bit of a brown tone to
it, not too brown so it's still kind of in keeping but it will just warm it up slightly I think and just kind of just just give a little bit of a break
between the grey and just kind of yeah add a little bit something
different. First of all I need to take off that, I need to remove all of the old
sealant which I don't know what's going on but whatever sealant I used and
however I did it I must have done a very good job or I've just got it wet way too
many times and it's all kind of disintegrated and disappeared so I need
to remove it, get rid of any residue of that that's left over, remove everything
wipe down the tiles just make sure all of the plug sockets are as clean as I can get them, clean everything up and then I can make a start so I'm going to
get stuck into all of that first. I have completely forgotten how hideous the surface was originally, it's weird it
hasn't been that many years since I've had that stuff on it but it feels like I can't even remember when it was like this
I've removed all of the sealant now from here and made it as like clean as
possible so I can get right down into the corner into that little right angle
with the tile wallpaper stuff so yeah I've never used this stuff before I've
been given this paste stuff to use as well this is ceramic glue basically
ceramic adhesive so it will stick to ceramic things such as tiles and I've
asked and apparently it's fine to do over painted tiles as well if not even
battered somehow so hopefully it will stick down really really well but I'm so
excited to get this on the wall. Just to show you this stuff before it goes on my
wall it comes in a really big roll like this there's plenty of it you can order
it to whatever size you need basically just make sure you measure the surfaces
that you're going to need to cover and also just give that extra little bit measurement as well just obviously so that you can cut the straight lines
because you don't want to order the exact amount just in case it's slightly wrong also just order a little bit extra in case you make any mistakes which I
have no idea if I'm going to do or not but this stuff is beautiful so it is
waterproof as long as you use the sealant to seal it and it's really
wipeable and everything the surface is really really smooth and it's quite thick
as well it's nice kind of nice thickness to it and it's really
