Bathroom re fit

[theshrew]

I have a few questions hopefully someone can help.

Going to be fitting a new bathroom suite.

Bath size most I have seen are 170cm long I only have 165 of room. I've been told that I could knock some of the wall out etc to make the larger bath fit. Is this ok to do if I need to ? I'd have to take most of that out of the outside wall not a internal one.

What is the best order to do things? I can see pros and cons of tiling the walls and floor first and last.

Any tips from anyone that's done one before would be appreciated.

taking 4-5cm out of a wall to sink the bath edge is unlikely to leave enough room for taps etc so be careful.

Fit your bath first, then tile down to it.

Opposite applies for sink and toilet - dry fit first, then remove and tile.

get a 1600mm bath.
then i would fit the bath first then tile the walls and floor to it.
