Ask your QuestionWhen fitting a shower tray, toilet and sink do l tile the walls before or after?
Asked by Deborah on 11th May 2021Best Answer
"Shower tray needs to be installed before tiling. If you’re tiling half/all walls then all tiling should be completed before install of basin/toilet. If you’re just having a splash back on the sink then the tiling for that would be done after sink installation."
