Best to do tiling before installing toilet and basin?

justaquestion

Hi folks,

Going to get bathroom totally refitted and getting a company to do it, would just like to check a few things for your good advice, so I can have a clear understanding with them.

1 Best to get tilling done first on walls before installing toilet and basin? (part of the existing problem is, tiles only to start of the he old toilet and basin and hard to get an exact match with new furniture)

Bathroom upstairs is done with the tilling done first, and seems to make sense, so easy to fit new toilet or basin if ever required.

2 is there any rationality in getting behind the bath tiled first before bath is installed, or just tile to edges of bath once its installed.

3 I have a double glazed wooden windows ages old which would need to be replaced soon in bathroom with a UPVC window, so I feel it makes common sense to do it now before starting to tile the bathroom, that seem rational to prevent any breakage of the new tiles on sill if windows was to be replaced later?

Thanks once again for all your expert opinions.

Tile first before basin and toilet go in.


However, DO NOT tile behind the bath before it is fitted. You must put the bath in , seal with mastic and then tile down to it.


If you tile and then put the bath in, it will never seal.


Put the new window in before any other work is done.
