    hi, I posted a query earlier, we have stripped the whole bathroom of its tiles, I have a new bathroom suite to fit, I want to know what to do next, do I call the plumber to replace the suite, do I call the plasterer or do I call the tiler, can anyone advise which order. I would really appreciate your help, I am in a quandry.

    Thanks so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hmm depends if you need new pipe work with your plumbing and if you want them hiding. If you do then the plumber, plasterer will then come tidy the job the plumber did and tiler will hide all the good work done by the plasterer.

    But it really depends on what you need doing really - you are probably the better judge if you think of the actual work you need doing

    i would of thought to get the plumber in to replace the suite as the rest is all cosmetic and can be done after the suite is fitted. but im no expert so dont take my word for it :o :rotfl: i hope you get it all looking lovely soon...angchris

    You'll probably find one company / man can do all. My OH is a carpenter by trade, but works as a handyman doing all of the above.

    My husband is a plumber and he always puts the bathroom suite in first, then the wall would be plastered and then the tiles put on.

    Hi, I have been reading about someone that has managed to nail job a, but really wants job b, I am in exatcly the same predicament. Trouble is, job a is to start on Monday, one weel full time training, then 3 month contract, trouble is is you leave within the 3 months, you have to pay the company for the time it took to train you.

    What should I do.

    Thanks again for all your helpful replies to my bathroom dilemma.
