Cutting curves eg around the toilet

[minimontolit]

Just wondered who scored and then fingered the tile before nipping or who uses a grinder and if you have dust extraction (if not what do you do when its raining)?
I was thinking around basin etc

 

[Andy Allen]

Loads of dust sheets, a wet cutter, something like a vitrex 750 pro and a decent pair of nippers ..

I score, either grinder or wet saw then snap off the piece

 

[WetSaw]

I take the toilet out!

I'd like to put a 3000x1000 plate
in that floor.
naturally with the sink and toilet mounted.
fortunately there is no bidet.......🙂

Multi tool the thickness of tile and adhesive so they slide under!

I take the toilet out!Would you like to see my bucket?

Can you get curved cutting attachments?

 

[Boggs]

Take the toilet out, turn it over and make a cardboard template of bottom, put toilet back in and cut tiles to template.
Easy really.😀

 

[Andy Allen]

Take the toilet and basin out , is the best and easiest option.
However that wasn't the question the OP asked...
Just saying....🙂

hate cutting around toilets had to do one yesterday in karndean was a herritage victorian type , the client give her credit had cleaned it to an inch of its life with a strong smell of bleach . better than other smells

 

[acaciaguy]

Did you charge more / price in?

Never tile around a WC, whether that be Tiles or LVT, it’s pointless.

 

[Dumbo]

It's not always possible for us mere tilers to take the toilet out and the client won't always spring for extra money to get a mega bucks plumber round .

Why is it pointless..??

why?

 

[Waluigi]

Because it’s not the right way to do it in my opinion- ie pointless.

 

[Andy Allen]

Sometimes you can't take the toilet out..

 

[Blunt Tool]

Sometimes they are still on it!

 

[Andy Allen]

I see you disagree, what if the toilet is cemented to the floor, I've come across a few of them..

 

[Waluigi]

I don’t think I’m explaining myself very well. Take it out. Always.

So you would brake the toilet..?

@pdc grammar mistakes, speaking about poo holders Where are you?

the one i did this weekend was old cemented to floor and customer didnt want a new one as matched sink it was a no brainer to skim round and lvt

 

[Waluigi]

I wouldn’t be doing a job that required an old toilet to be tiled around.
Hand on heart, been in the game 26 years, ten years of that for a Bathroom company. The WC’s were never tiled around. Not much more I can say. We are talking several hundred WC’s.
