removing bathroom suit to tile

[wayney]

hi there everyone,as i am about to do a bit of tiling for a friend is it allways better to remove the bathroom suit or cut round it and what if the walls are already tiled and just the floor needing done if i move the sink up so the tiles can get underneath then that would interfere with the cut tiles round the sink.what would be the best sugestion .thanks

would recommend the bathroom suit is removed,it makes the job a whole lot easier,however if it's an option i would prefer to cut round the the toilet and pedestool on the floor rather than cut around the bath and basin(can have some akward shapes for a diy'er)

Got just this kind of job tomorrow - 1 bathroom and 2 ensuite floors.
Will be removing and replacing toilets but the basins already have splashbacks on so will be cutting round those.

I found it took up too much of my time cutting round pedestals, toilets and architrave. Will always remove where possible and not charge for it as it saves so much time.
Will also buy a new Fein blade as cutting round architrave was a first for me on this job as I always cut and slide it under, but all my blades are so blunt it would have smoked the customers house out!
