Hi Guys
I would like a little help (please)
We are replacing our bathroom soon, we've brought the suite and the tiles and associated bit and bobs. I am quite confident at DIY and am intending to fit most of it my-self.
My question is several people have as they do offered there 2pence and some have said I should tile before fitting the new bathroom and others say I should tile after fitting the bathroom. The room is 2.5mtr X 2.5mtr all current fittings are being removed including current tiles. The tiles we will be putting on are 30X60cm floor to ceiling.
Personally I think tilling before installing the suite, but would like some advise from some professionals
Cheers

Re: Tilling before or after fitting
Usually fit bath first, tile room and then fit WC / basin / etc.
Although sometimes the bath can be fitted after most of the tiling is done, and then tile down to the bath afterwards - depends on the bathroom and placement of bath.

I'd get the bath in first, fill it with water and start tiling from there.
get your sillycone joint in with the tiles, leave it to set and then drain bath.
Fit tiles then fit sanitaryware.
Job's a good'un

Re: Tilling before or after fitting
We've just had a new suite fitted (cos I haven't the time) before re-tiling but that's only due to availability of the plumber. The loo and corenr vanity unit have been fitted with spacers behind and will come out so I can tile and then re-fit.. When I've the done the whole job myself in the past I've laways put bath in then tiled before putting in any other sanitary ware - much easier than working around things. Only question is, have you another loo whilst the bathroom is out of action?

Why would you fill it with water before tiling?
Put bath in first, silicone around it (i always do this as an extra water tight measure) then tile and when after all tiling is done you can seal again. Reason I say tile first is because if its a tight spot you dont want to damage any tiles when fitting the bath.
OR if you want to tile the area where the bath will sit (dont know if people do this) then put the bath in?
