bathroom help

[paulvdavies]

Hi,
Tiling a bathroom which has a new laid carpet and no current skirting around the perimeter of the room. If no skirting required could anyone advise as to the best way to finish down to carpet? May sound a stupid question and probably is! Thanks in advance of any advice.

peel back carpet on tile side remove gripper fit tile and replacegripper and carpet then move on to next side!!!

Very Carefully , better you than me . should have been tiled before the carpet went down . best of luck m8

New carpet before the tiling is done....:yikes:...take it up and tile to the floor leaving a small expansion gap...then re-fit carpet using grippers...

 

[Time's Ran Out]

Take the carpet up.
Take the gripper strips up.
Tile down to the floor.
Get a carpet fitter in to refit the carpet.

Timeless John.

is it bathroom carpet? if it is then there will not be any grippers the carpet should be down by its own weight or by systhentic spray adhesive. if its its own weight just lift back and tile to floor relay the carpet and using the back of your stanley knife score along the joint to create a grove, then either use a new blade or a good pair of scissors.... but cut the fall away pile first.

bathroom carpet....is that what you call tile! No carpet runs through upper floors so suspect it is standard carpet.
Thanks for advice.

wear latex gloves when taking it up round the toilet area!

 

[hillhead]

It could be stuck in that area too :yikes:,you might have to replace:yikes: oops!
