Splash back

Posted by Patrick Campbell, on
I have glass splash back for my hob that was cracked from the heat of a pot. It is surround by ceramic tiles. Can you advise how to remove this or is it safe to fix another splashback on top?

Hi Patrick Is it splashback on oven or on wall?? If it is on tiled wall I would suggest to get someone who is confident as it is not so easy to remove without damaging your tiles Regards Rafal

It is difficult to say without actually seeing the situation, however it probably isn't the best idea to fix the new one onto the broken one, as its strength is now compromised. As I said, it is difficult to give great advice without seeing it, but usually the best way to remove something that is surrounded, is to carefully smash it out. Basically, slowly and carefully break the glass into smaller pieces, removing them as you go. Be sure to cut any sealant that joins the glass and tiles first or brake any grout joint. Wearing gloves and goggles would be recommended! Brett
