Are you sure you really need tiles? How about just scraping off that old glue (fun!) and going with a good quality scrubbable paint? When it eventually gets too grubby looking in a few years, paint again, even try a different colour.

Traditional....sits on the Aga so it's fairly hot all the time, and stick it on the hob when I need it to boil.

my daughter spent a year in england and come home extolling the virtues of an electric kettle. so, if its one mug i do it in the microwave, otherwise use the electric kettle. ours certainly does a rolling boil before it toggles off.

Electric is much more convenice
