What Comes First?

[noob]

Do I install my new bathroom suite THEN tile the floor, or do I tile the floor then install the bathroom suite?

Help is much appreciated.

Basically its a new bath, basin and toliet. Im going to take out the old bath, basin and toleit (olive green currently) and replace with a white suite. The floor is currently vinyl lino, with plywood underneath.
I want to take up the lino and replace with tiles but cant figure out if I need to put the suite in and then cut the tiles around the new units or if I need to lay the tiles and put the suite on top.
Thanks for your reply!

its always best to tile all floor area if possible , what substrate are you tiling on

 

[Abstract tiling]

as marbleman says always try tile the full floor,leaves a cleaner finish than cutting round pedastel and toilet, also what thickness is the ply,you may need to rip it up and put some thicker ply down. as most vinyl is layed on 6mm.

I like the bath in first, then tile the floor and walls, finally fit toilet and basin

 

[marc1106]

as doug says Bath tile basin and toilet

I would remove the ply as well as the old suit (chances are the ply would have suffered water damage under the vinyl), put down new 15mm ply if you can come up that high, if not a tile backer board at whatever thickness you need. Then install the bath, tile the floor (and walls) then fit the basin and toilet so that you get a nice finish and the bath panel can be cut to sit on top of the floor tiles. Hope this helps.

A BIG THANK YOU to all of you that have replied. *bow's*
OK... so I should tile first. Now I'm thinking I may have to put thicker ply down as it was vinyl before. What thickness Should I use?
