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.

okay thanks for tip, will give it a go
