Hi, I've been doing our bathroom up and am finally on to tiling behind the sink. As I always seem to miss something important I thought I would post plans first then if I'm doing it all wrong you guys can tell me before I balls it up.
The tiles are a 4x4 square of 200 x 200 x 10mm travertine, with a border on top and then a row of 100x100mm tiles. Do you think it will matter where the top of the sink comes too in this pattern as I think the border will start below the sink? I was going to leave a gap between the tiles and skirting to grout as the tiles are thicker than the top edge of skirting.
The waste pipe will be in the middle between 2 tiles, would a hand tile saw be ok to cut this and is it very difficult to do, I only have two spare tiles to muck up.
As the tiles are reasonably big and thick is it best to put adhesive straight on the tiles? Is it ok to start tiling from the skirting board, I have checked it is level, and would use spacers to get the gap.
Any advice very much appreciated, sorry for the long post, thanks.
