While I'm waiting to get in with tiler,I thought I may as well look into doing my bathroom floor.its small but its a start.so while looking at it a couple of questions came up...I'll list them,so its easy to follow.
1. The floor is t'n'g chipboard.know I've gathered its ideal to remove this but as its run under the walls,I should screw it down to joists(currently its nailed,and squeeks),and then attach 6mm hardi(what I gather dural\shluter,won't be sufficient) with flexy adhesive, as well as screwing it into chipboard....is this right.and will Addy adhere to the board,as I believe its water resistant(to a degree),or will surface need roughing up.
2. Should I remove toilet and pedestal,as the shape of toilet at bottom is such that with board ,Addy and tile,it would in my opinion look weird.
3.this is what really stumps me 'on all but one wall the tiles sit on skirting,and if this isn't removed, it may look strange,but on the other hand,is it going to be possible to remove the skirting without breaking the wall tiles,as if I could remove the skirting ,as well as the bottom row of tile,then when floor is done, reattach the skirting, and cut in the previously removed tile.of course getting replacement wall tile would be handy.that way I could just tear off bottom row..
Hope you get the gist of my issues.and hope the pictures are helpful...cheers.
