New tile floor and bathroom fixtures, what to do you start with first?

7 years ago

Hi,

I would like to replace the old tile floor, old sink, old light fixture and old tub and shower unit with new items. My question is, do you replace the tile floor last?

In terms of actual laying it, you usually do the tub and then the tile and then the vanity, etc., on the finished floor.

In terms of picking, start with the vanity, then tile, or maybe the two in tandem.

Hi apreston0,

Here is the order you should take in remodeling your bathroom:

1. Demo out the tub/shower unit.

2. Demo out the sink and floor.

3. Remove the fixture.

4. Install a new tub/shower unit.

5. Install a new floor.

6. Install a new vanity.

7. Install a new countertop, sink and backsplash.

8. Install a new fixture.

In summary, no you do not do the floor tile last. More like the middle.

Are we just talking wall tiles here? What are you looking at for floor tiles? I'm thinking in terms of mixing gloss and matte in both rooms to tie them together and keep your customer happy but giving each bathroom its own character without being too different ................ if that makes sense.

Closing gap between bath and shower would be easy. Get the builder to build a bath hob similar to what cloudpants has. Then a shower frame could be made to sit on top of it....does that make sense? Will give you either a bigger shower, or you could look to putting a bigger bath in. Your preferred look might also bring prices down- white tiles and chrome tapware- classic, and much cheaper.

hi my husband is a builder and I know about tiles a lot . there is nothing for wet area tiles . all tiles are floor and wall tiles. yea you could use rough surface tiles in wet area but it's depends on your style but you don't need to choose only rough surface . in wet area you must have to do waterproofing before laying your tiles . you can all choose from cremaic tiles to porcelain tiles. you just need to measure wall hight and width then tiles shop guys they we will work out how many sqm you need or give them your floor plan they can work it out.

I think it should fit, width of bath 800 plus 900 for shower approx, you would most likely end up with shorter vanity, I will draw it for you after I post my updated plan. I have run the island to the wall to give you a better length island, the door could be louvered windows as well, full height like others 2400 and glass. No corner cupboards in thei kitchen!!
