Bathroom tiling

[Luton Pete]

I decided to hire a tiler to do my bathroom, he has turned up in proper grump to start the job, the plumber left it ready to go , long and short he got the hump with having to move toilet himself and walked off the job.
So questions are A> how hard is it to tile bathroom
B. how do you tile floor when there are water pies to go round.

Help...i have half a bathroom...

Removing/replacing sanitary ware is standard procedure when tiling; he’s either a right cowboy, in which case he’s probably done you a favour, or he seriously under priced the job.

Firstly ignore any advice about water preventing adhesive .

Tiling is not rocket science but how good a job you make of it depends on your personal competence. Read the tiling sticky spend some time reading back through the archive posts before you decide to go ahead; good preparation & using quality trade materials of the correct type is as important as tiling skill.

B. how do you tile floor when there are water pies to go round.

You have to cut/drill the tiles to fit around the pipes; are they just water services drains?
