IMO, it's one of the easier DIY jobs if you cover the bases. Do your
homework, get the materials and tools you need and follow the
recommended procedures. I think it's hard to go wrong if you do that. I
did a bit of tiling in a bathroom 24 or so years ago, and IIRC I did the
shower and the floor and was happy with the results. I soon moved, but I
felt confident I did the job right.
