What Comes First?

If the bath is fitted first , take care with the height regarding the bath panel.

I wouldnt tile on ply thinner than 12mm and that would only be if I couldnt come up any higher in the door way or if the sanitary ware would not line up with the existing pipes if you used thicker. I would suggest using No More Ply or another backer board but these can be more expensive than ply. If you decide to use ply, my advice would be use as thick a board as you can get away with.

if you use a smaller ply i like to use pink grip grip fill :yikes: over the sub floor then screw 300mm centers i use skrim tape over the joints then a small blob of tile cement along them first then tile away
or even use 6mm ply from frunt to back pink grip then 6mm ply left to right there is your 12mm ply screw 300mm centers

Hopefully Noob has his bathroom in now. two layers of 6mm won't achieve the ridgidity of a 12mm sheet regardless of how much 'pink grip' is used

6mm is definately wrong and so is two layers of 6mm, ?

12mm at the very least.

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

Thats the way like but make sure to acknowledge this:

If the bath is fitted first , take care with the height regarding the bath panel.

As above, but 2 layers of 6mm ply? :yikes: I would prefare 18mm minimum 12mm if to much height increase. Backer-board.

Dont like the sound of 2 sheets of 6mm ply
