common guys, I'm not slow at all, but 1,5 -2 days not possible... unless there is only one window, no boxes, no recesses, no 100 of holes to drill... A tiler can do 15 sq.m of floor a day, but small bathroom is different. Only setting out will take couple of hours. What about setting your wet saw, bringing all tools on site, cleaning ...?

Tony, I would have the bulk of that tiled on the 1st day, no wet saw a grinder or if needed my little Bricollina, they are ceramics, at that size of tile they would go up like a pack of cards..

Setting out would take 15 mins. Remember, there are only 5 things to set around, floor, celing, window top/bottom and bath. Walls are perfect so just spread with 6mm trowel and stick them ceramics. you would do a wall per hour! Window wall would take 2-3 hours. I don't use a wet saw (ever) angle grinder. Bases and recesses will slow me down though. If rectified porcelain then different story, add another day

Here's another one, just playing devil's advocate. How long it would take to do a 6ftx6ft bathroom walls and floor with bath fitted. Good walls and floor, no prep, basic 450x300 ceramic, plastic trim etc probably about 17m2.


I'm sorry Sir, we don't like to give estimates or time scales for jobs before we have seen them, as all bathrooms are different I'm sure you'll agree.

Would you like to arrange a time for us to come and view the job? :prrr::prrr::prrr:
