Hello. First time tiler looking for some advice.
Doing a bathroom reno and had a professional tiler booked in to tie in with plumber, but we will sadly not have the room prepped for new tiles in time to meet the tilers scheduling window…so due to not wanting to be without a bathroom for any longer than necessary, I am considering DIY tile. Can someone take me through steps from where I am now (a mess) to finish? We are doing floor to ceiling with metro tiles
So removing the old tiles has ripped off the plasterboard and we are left with bare brick/ breeze blocks and awaiting plumber this week to remove bathroom suite and fittings. This is where we are now.
Need to re board…a decorator friend has said Hardie board (luckily as husband was just gonna plasterboard) ? Can this be dot and dabbed?
Then do we need to “tank” the area? The whole area or just the shower section?
Are metro tiles relatively simple for a first timer DIYer?
At what stage do I get the plumber back to install new bathroom suite?
Thanks in advance for any help
