Walls are plasterboarded and are ready to be re-tiled after stripping the old ones off.

If the surface of the PB didn't come off with the old tiles you are very lucky. If it did then reboard.

Floor is floor boards at the min but was putting in 18mm plyboard to lay new tiles on.

Thats the minimum but you may find you've got too big a step. If you have then strip out the old boards and lay 25mm WBP ply direct to joists. You'll need extra noggins and make sure the ply is firmly screwed into joists at 100mm centres. Do not have joins over gaps. Your alternative would be to screw cement board over the floor boards - once again firmly into the joists. You need to eradicate all movement when tiling a floor.

The bath, sink (i mean basin.. ooops) and toilet are a straight (ish) swap like for like.

Never as straighforward as it looks - you'll see.


Glad to see you've retained your SOH - I wan't having a dig its just one of my pet hates!

Then basin (sinks go in kitchens) and loo to get the plumbing right.

Then take basin and loo out and tile.

Surely if you line up all the plumbing with basin and WC sitting on the floorboards, then put down ply and tile over it, and put them back on top of the tiles, they'll be off-centre with regard to pipework?

Nope because you will have taken that into account when you do the plumbing.

OK. That's not how it reads, but clear now

Ah OK sorry if I was misleading.

Actually you are correct there is that danger and you only ever do it once.
