We are about to buy a new (for us) house with carpet in the bathroom
and laminate in the kitchen. SWMBO has decided that the bathroom
carpet shall be replaced with a rubber floor, and is strongly inclined
to do the same in the kitchen.

Recommendations, horror stories, fitting tips would all be welcomed.

The current plan is for a solid sheet (rather than tiles) in the
bathroom, and I fear that fitting that is beyond my DIY skills. We
might go for tiles in the kitchen, which I feel comfortable about
laying. Any thoughts?

Very professional, very hygenic, and very expensive.

You probably don't mean real rubber either...likely a butyl rather than
vinyl sheet.

Only if GWB can't keep his precision bombing up to snuff.

Actual butyl is not that expensive.
Assuming it's thinnish, and glued down.

No
1mm butyl is 4.50/m^2.
Glob on lots of contact adhesive, and you're golden.
