Bathroom Nightmare

Hi,
We have removed the tiles, what a nightmare, but the plaster has perished in certain areas, so what I thought was get plumber in to remove sink, radiator and bath, then get the plasterer in to plaster and skim, get plumber back to install new suite, then get the tiler in and get on with decorating.

by the way, many thanks for all your replies x x

    well I am not 100% sure but I would think that you get all the suite installed then do the tiling. I just tiled our bathroom and it would be more or less impossible to get the bath in or out with the tiles there.

    We've just done ours and we did tile behind the sink and toilet before putting the new ones in. We have more than one loo in the house though so were able to do without one for a couple of days.

    You fit the bath and / or shower tray then tile. Tile walls then floor. Then fit the toilet and washbasin. As a sweeping generalisation.
