Which comes first toilet or tiles

[brian]

I am just about to totally re-do a bathroom. I am going to cover th

floor in ply and then lay ceramic tiles on the yop of that. Would yo tile under the toilet and pedestal or tile around them

'Under' is generally considered to give the best results

I'm thinking of doing the same thing, but am wondering what to do about the difference in level that ply + tiles is going to make. Won't you end up with a bit of a step?

Yes, but 9mm ply and tiles is only about 20mm so its not too far of carpet and underlay. You can kind of lose it a bit with the door bar Maybe get a hardwood strip made up the thickness of the door and tape it from the tiles down to the carpet

Under if you can.

Its a lot harder to get a neat finish otherwise.

Sometimes with new floor and old units its easier to tile up to, but its not the nicest of finsishes.
