Tiles behind a wall hung vanity

Question

Do companies tile behind a wall hung vanity unit along with installation?

Michael · Accepted Answer

Hi Mo,
Yes as a,part of the wall. It makes it easier for the installation of unit

Scott · Answer

Any good tradesman tiles and grouts the wall first and then fits the vanity unit

Mick · Answer

Yes indeed, much better finish.  If the unit was ever removed the wall behind would be complete.

Alexander · Answer

Apologies for so late response ..
The walls to be covered with tiles everywhere. After tiling works, any units, appliances to be installed. Unless a customer asks not to .. 
Bear in mind you may change location of the vanity later ..

No, companies do not generally tile behind anything which will be fixed to or mounted on a surface. It may be that a surface is already tiled and they would perhaps fix it to the tiles but I would argue along with many tradesman that this is not a good practise because once the tile fails then the vanity unit would essentially no long be fixed to the surface any longer. Ideally you would want any unit to be fixed to a solid surface like a brick wall or into the joists of a stud wall ect

it's ok as long as silicone is used properly .it is better if a waterproof insulation is used before fixing the tiles

Harry · Answer

yes make sure you specifically tell them you want it tiled

David · Answer

I personally would always tile behind a wall hung vanity unit as you get a better finish from unit to tile.
