Bathroom to be overhauled

Tilers Forums Official Sponsors

hi guys looking To re tile a small bathroom, have called a few tilers some have replied some haven’t, the ones that have all replied have all offered conflicting advice, appreciate it’s a busy time for tradespeople

needing to replace a bathroom suite as well as trying to make place seem larger.

but I just want to know what’s best for me not them, thinking of using a tile 600x300mm for wall and floor matching, I like the brickwork effectthey a porcelain tile(pretend looking marble)some tilers have said they don’t need sealed, but tile supplier, said need sealed prior to grouting and ideally cleaned before that.

The tile supplier seems very knowledgable and I don’t think. They just trying to sell me more, however a few tilers want me to buy tiles at the tiling companies they go to, however they don’t have my colour

with regards to two of the walls they are on bare brick and I know a mess will be made when removed, I have been told rather than use dot and dab and plaster boards aqua one, I should use the tile backer boards, it then tank the area behind where the bath and shower area is, shower inside bath

however one tiler said he suggested getting walls plastered

i would like the bath panel tiled, but i Realise that’s not sensible for access.

can I ask what makes a decent tile they are pei rating 4, Turkish made, will that be a nightmare for tiler is that classed as a inferior tile, I know if doing a job using half decent materials is half the battle

looking to get. Wall hung vanity unit and mirror for hopefully illusion of space
