    Waterproofing before tiling

    Hi. As above , you don't have to waterproof above bath. Personally, I always waterproof above bath, then seal between bath and wall, with Silicon, then tile , grout and seal with Silicon bath -tile, and tile-tile internal corner.

    Tiling Rates Per Square Meter - How much does tiling cost?

    I disagree, don't think you can lay 15sq.m every day, including grouting. Only if you have large floor, you can do 15sq.m .( then lower rates per sq.m)5-7sq.m average.
