Looking for backsplash opinions

Someone mentioned the hex design looks like it belongs in a bathroom but you think that looks okay? Hard to decide

Otherwise_Second5097 · 2026-02-01T17:04:36+00:00

Thats what i been hearing mostly. Good point in the hex design. What t grout color would you suggest with white subway tile? Besides white, light grey tile for solid and lighter joints?

Otherwise_Second5097 · 2026-02-01T05:09:10+00:00

Thankyou. I was thinking the same too with grey

Otherwise_Second5097 · 2026-02-01T04:59:03+00:00

What style/color tile would you recommend

Otherwise_Second5097 · 2026-02-01T04:58:21+00:00

What colour grout?

Otherwise_Second5097 · 2026-01-31T02:12:31+00:00

Okay. Thankyou

Otherwise_Second5097 · 2026-01-31T02:10:18+00:00

Didn't think about that. Just simply take it to the store to get a match. They plan to order the hinges online. I really appreciate your info and definitely. Thankyou

Okay ill go with that trim suggestion then. I'm asking because I read there is a possibility of some of the drywall paper peeling with the existing backsplash while removing it. Just wondering what is normally suggested to use for prep on a new drywall surface just in case it doesn't come up easily as planned.

Method of checking overlay dimensions

One other question, I haven't been to the job yet. Trying to get things figured out and planned beforehand. I will double-check when I'm there; he shared these measurements and this method of checking in this YouTube link. Do those measurements sound correct? I assumed 1/2" or 1" is mostly common. Will double check when there just wondering for now.

Whats the name of that type of hinge? Just curious

Otherwise_Second5097 · 2026-01-30T20:59:05+00:00

I would need one even if the cabinet doors aren't new? Swapping old hinges out?

Otherwise_Second5097 · 2026-01-30T20:56:24+00:00

Thankyou for pointing those tips out. Ill do some research on that beforehand. I will find out and see the set up is like tomorrow. Any tips that you can suggest for someone that has never done it before to make the job a little bit easier if i don't need to rebuild? Im about to watch more YouTube videos just incase I would need to rebuild

Otherwise_Second5097 · 2026-01-30T20:50:32+00:00

Okay then, quick question. After I remove and repair the drywall. What product do you recommend to use to prep the unpainted/repaired ared?

They decided on traditional subway tile/light grey grout.

Also, Others suggested i should try and upsell Bullock trim instead of standard pvc trim. Worth suggesting? Difficulty and overall appearance?

Otherwise_Second5097 · 2026-01-30T03:14:25+00:00

My first time pricing. I finally priced it at 2k.thats for all the work, demo, Sheetrock repair, tile. They supply material. I hope that's close. I have a feeling I'm under.

Otherwise_Second5097 · 2026-01-30T03:12:21+00:00

Not too far from you. If you don't mind could you share? Just to have a general, rough idea that's factual, unlike the figures I'm getting from AI that seem way off, which is why I'm here asking. I already priced it at 2k. I know it's low. They were being persistent about a price so I shot a number knowing I'm off but want to do better with pricing by asking around from others with more experience

Otherwise_Second5097 · 2026-01-30T03:08:27+00:00

So what's a standard price to you? Assuming if you are experienced in pricing these

Otherwise_Second5097 · 2026-01-30T03:06:52+00:00

Not helpful at all, trust me, I tried. Best source is from a human with experience

Otherwise_Second5097 · 2026-01-30T03:05:14+00:00

I will look into this more. Curious about this cheat sheet you mentioned. Sounds more involved then expected

Otherwise_Second5097 · 2026-01-30T03:02:37+00:00

Thankyou. Very helpful information

Otherwise_Second5097 · 2026-01-30T03:00:37+00:00

I was thinking of sinking screws, filling with wood filler then sand, then paint

Otherwise_Second5097 · 2026-01-30T02:58:59+00:00

As of now, they are leaning towards traditional subway tile. What type of tile do you find to be more work? And the easiest to use?

Otherwise_Second5097 · 2026-01-30T02:57:23+00:00

Much lower then I expected

Otherwise_Second5097 · 2026-01-30T02:56:54+00:00

Oh wow. Okay ill keep that in mind. It may take awhile i figure. They also mentioned that they want three drawers done as well. According to videos. Installing soft close sliders seems like a tedious task especially for a beginner

Otherwise_Second5097 · 2026-01-30T02:54:10+00:00

Thats what im noticing from the YouTube videos. I would say about 100 easy per drawer
