Re: Behind or around
Hmmmmm... I just had a "plumber/tiler" remove old wash basin/pedestal, fit new one, BEFORE he'd done the tiling... I agree... I thought it would've been much better to just tile the wall then fit new basin... I'm starting to worry a bit about this guy's experience

Re: Behind or around
oh , and i agree too
- 18-09-2008 #20medlarGuest Re: Behind or around
agree with everyone on here,much easier to tile the wall first
- 18-09-2008 #21TilingLogisticsGuest Re: Behind or around
Not only does it mean less cutting but there is more room to tile and no chance of damaging the sanitaryware whilst tiling
