Welcome Pringle.

Preparation is the most important consideration.
Is the bathroom downstairs or upstairs? What is the floor substrate?

You may want to consider tanking for your bathroom, too.

As for tiles, you just need to consider the surface texture before making your final decision. Depending on whether you select man-made or natural tiles will have an effect on the fixing and subsequent sealing etc.

Good luck,
Daz

Thanks for all your comments guys. In reply to some of your questions, the bathroom is upstairs with the floor space 10m square and the wall space 22m square. When I got a quote from Topps they included the tanking for the shower cubicle. And no, I don't intend doing it myself....I will leave it to an expert! Re the floor tiles, from your advices, it seems that ceramic would be ok but Travertine honed and filled would be better (although more time consuming to lay and the extra cost of sealent) as it would give a better look??

If trav is done properly by someone that knows what they are doing it will make your bathroom VERY special indeed :thumbsup:
