    Default Bathroom

    Hi,
    Wife and I have been disagreeing on best way to tile bathroom splashback. I think tile round the bath as normal and tile separately the bit between the vanity base and wall units in full, stopping at the end of the wall unit. She however, suggested I tile round the bath and then just follow it on to the vanity bit so it is all in one, which would leave that bit only half tiled to keep the height the same as round the bath (not to mention I would have to tile down between the bath and end of vanity units). I think the bit in in between vanity base and wall units would look daft only tiled halfway up. Who do you think is right?
    Cheers
    Jimbob
