Would I tile my bathroom before or after the fitters install the furniture?

Question

I’m getting a whole new bathroom fitted, tiles/floor/bath/shower/loo/sink etc. Should I get the floor and walls tiled before the rest of the bathroom is installed? Or will they likely get damaged by the fitters?

First time you have to do first fix plumbing work (water pipes, waste pipes) then tiling and after fix the hand basin, toilet.
About the bathtub depends what type is.
You have 2 options:
1) fix the bathtub before tiling;
2) tiling the floor and walls and after the bathtub if is freestanding with exposed legs

Yes you would get everything tiled first before final fix

The best way is to put the bath in or shower tray then tile the bathroom and put the sink and toilet in when it is tiled

Alan · Answer

Fit bath or shower tray and then get full bathroom tiked and then fit furniture and rest of goods afterwards as its a much better finish and also less likely to get damaged

Cezar · Answer

Tiles should be fitted before the appliances as you want your appliances to sit on the tiles not just being cut around , the only holes that you are going to have are the fixtures for the appliances ex: toilet , basin, shower cubicle, towel rail.

Thomas · Answer

You can fit the bath before tiling but if recommend tiling before you fit rest of sanitary toilet, sink etc

Some wall areas can be done except for bath area and shower tray area as always better to to tile down on to these once siliconed to create a better seal. I like to leave the floor tiles till the end the toilet and sink can be fitted dry then taken out the way to tile then refitted.

What I usually do is tile most of the walls then install the furniture, tile the floor then install the pan

The only part/parts of the suite you would usually fit is the bath and/or shower tray.
