I posted here about a month ago installing tile in one of my
bathrooms.

The professional guy was here today. He has done a lot of work for
me in the past, but I need some opinions please.

He said my linoleum is in excellent condition and they would leave
it, and put hardibacker on top of that. He guarantees his work, and
in 30 years says he has never had a problem with tile cracking due
to not removing existing linoleum.

This is a tiny bathroom that measures appx. 8' x 4'.

Does this sound like a good way to go about the project?

Many thanks in advance.

Is he going to tile under the toilet? If so will need a taller wax
ring seal ww


Yes he is. I never thought about a taller wax ring seal, but he
should know about that. I thought I had all my bases covered. I will
be certain to ask him.

Appreciate your help.
Thank you!


Sounds like he's giving you a decent job with using hardibacker and
tiling UNDER the toilet. A hack corner cutter might trim tile close to
the base then caulk. It looks ****tier and if the toilet developed a leak
it would destroy the floor before you knew it.

Just curious, did he itemize the work? If so, what did he add for pulling
and reinstalling the toilet? Where are you located?
I am supposed to get a bid tomorrow. I live in Washington State.

He did say it would cost $120 to pull up the old linoleum. I am going
to leave it in.
