Hi. I've an Impey former 1700 x 750. The drain is midway along the 1700 length but offset along the 750 breadth about 1/3 of the way. I'm looking for tiling advice before I buy tiles please.

1. I've tested the tray is working by pouring water over it and the water does make it's way to the drain so currently it's fine. What cutting guides would I make on the tray to correctly guide the water to the drain? Just four lines, one from each corner to the centre of the drain? Or 8 lines?

2. At the edge of the tray, do I cut the tiles where the tray meets the chipboard?

3. Also, what is the best way to cut the floor tiles - hand cutter or machine? Is a cheap machine ok or will it just make a mess of the tile edges?

4. What gap should be used on floor tiles of a wetroom?

5. What size of tile should be used on the wetroom floor? Does it matter? The ones I'm looking at are Wickes 615 x 308

any help on these would be ace, thanks.
