Bathroom refit (with only one bath and toilet in the house)

Post by Robboy »

First post for me, and before you say do a search or read some threads I have.

I'm about to refit my bathroom which is a first to for me. My question is what order should I rip out and replace the suite / tile etc to maintain maximum use of the bathroom .

I found this in one of the other threads but this is based on a standard fit with out the need to use the bathroom.

1 first fix plumbing.
2 floor boards in
3 plaster walls
4 bath in
5 tile walls leaving the very bottom course off
6 tile floor
7 tile last course on walls
8 install basin and W/C
9 grout
10 silicone sealant


I don’t need to replace floor boards or plaster the walls. I currently have carpet with will be replaced by tiles. Which Order should I approach this??

1 Remove all tiles apart was splash back areas (bath shower sink)
2 Replace toilet (not sure if I need to tile under it as currently have carpet)
3 Replace sink (again not sure how to mount as will be tiling underneath)
4 Tile all walls up to splash back areas and last row on floor,
5 Replace bath then tile around it
6 Replace electric shower
7 Tile floor
8 Tile last row on wall

Or this option

1 Remove all tiles apart was splash back areas (bath shower sink)
2 Tile all walls up to splash back areas and last row on floor
3 Replace bath then tile around it
4 Remove sink then tile behind it
5 Replace sink Loose as no floor tiles
6 Remove W/C tile behind it
7 Fit W/c (again how as no tiles underneath)
8 Tile floor
9 Tile last row of wall tiles
10 Refit W/C and sink

entirely up to you which way you do it...but..if you have the toilet on a flexi with an isolation valve (water in) and don't screw to the floor...at least you'll have that as an option...then hopefully you can work around the rest.
