Hi,

I'm going to be replace a complete en-suite shower room and would just like
to confirm my thoughts re the wall tiling.

I will be tiling 3 complete walls prior to the installation of the WC and
basin.

I was planning on installing the shower tray first and using the top of the
tray as my reference for a full tile around the 3 walls.
The height of the tray is probably about 10-15cm so I thought that going up
from the skirting/floor would leave a cut tile above the tray which may not
look too good.
I of course intend to batten around the room and tile up from that and then
fill in the section below.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks

Andy


Regardless of how you do it you need to use a level to get a level line
,normally one tile MAXIMUM above the lowest part being tiled and fix a batten
around that line and tile on to the batten then work your way up and fit the
lowest line of tiles last . I would suggest not using anything else as a
reference for a level as you must get that first line of tiles truly level
otherwise everything will go pear shaped .



Seconded. Don't trust anything to be level except a level.
