Bathroom floor tiling??

[Kirkland Laing]

Andre knows his stuff. If you're tiling on floorboards you need to sort the plumbing out first and test it as you don't want to have to break the floor up and redo it if there's a leak when you're done. The best kind of plumbing is solvent seal, you brush the solvent into the joints and it melts everything together giving you a watertight seal. And if it gets cold in the winter use plastic pipe for your feed too as it won't burst. Also fit isolator valves to all your incoming stuff where you can get to them easily, sink, ti=oilet, bath/shower etc.

Get eleven mil (half inch) OSB sheets or plywood and cut them to the size of the room. Draw a six inch square grid over the floor surface and at every cross put a one inch screw in, so the surface is screwed down every six inches in every direction. Then make sure you use flexible floor adhesive and flexible floor grout.

Try wading through that lot. You'll learn a lot more. Best spend a lot of time reading how to do it (maybe check youtube too) instead of rushing it and fucking it up.

What sort of bath? On legs or drop in style? Drop in style goes into a pre made timber frame covered with ac cement sheet on the sides,that you can tile on after. You can leave a false square door in the end so that you can get to the plumbing after if you are worried.You just tile in the square and fill the surrounding joints with something removable like flexi fill or white silicon cut around with a knife and you can get in under the bath easily. thats mostly done for spa baths when there a motor that will need servicing.

Or get a good Plumber and you wont ever have any trouble anyway. Get a bath with a saftey overfill built into it,worth while.

If you on a timber floor a pre formed shower base is the only safe way to go,In first tile up to it on the floor tile the walls in the shower cut around the blank taps that are already fitted,then get a shower screen fitted last.

Don't know what you're talkin bouts, but this is what I do...

Cool. Dig a hole under the bathmat and you'll eventually catch a Goat!

Don't listen to these guys, you've got to put the bath and shower down first and then tile over them. It's all the rage.
