Ive been asked by the mother in law to help fit her new bathroom "because ive done it before". Now ive fitted a new bath, toilet, sink into my old house and also sorted a downstairs loo out before but never done it complete with tiling, shower etc. Ive read through the tiling guide and it seems very well written and should be easy enough to follow but ive still got a few questions.
Tiling will need to be done before fitting the main fixtures but does it matter if the tiles go below the height of the bath, will it still seal properly if its not tiled onto the bath? The bath will be filled with water and maybe extra weight added too so the bath wont sink and leave a massive gap when filled, learning from mistakes from others.
Can tiles be fitted to an uneven surface or does it really need to be flat/new plaster, not forgetting first time tiler? There is tiles already on the wall but when they come off im guessing its going to take chunks off of the wall.
How long could it take to tile a bathroom around 2m x 2m? There will be two of us doing it and would really need to get the bath fixed back in before i leave( im only there for the weekend so need to get as much done as possible).
Thanks for any help.
