The tools that you will need for the job are tile cutter, tile saw, grout spreader, spirit level, tile nibblers, adhesive spreader, tile cutting jig and homemade gauge stick. It is important that before you start make sure that the walls are clean, sound and dry. The surface should be flat with no trace of wall papering and coat of any flaking paint. Start plotting the position of tiles on the wall with the use of a gauge stick.
How you set out the walls will determine the size and shape of your bathroom. Temporarily nail a thin guide batten to the wall marking the bottom of the lowest row of tiles. Then use the spirit level to make sure it is horizontal. In bathrooms it is important to use waterproof tile adhesive for areas that will come into contact with water. Form horizontal ridges in the adhesive using the toothed edge of the spreader. Position the first tile in the right angle and if it doesn’t have a lugs, place plastic spacers so that there is enough space for the grouting. Excess adhesive must be cleaned out with the use of a damp cloth.
After you have competed installation on the main area, the next thing that you have to tackle is the border tiles. Cutting the boarder tiles is needed to fit in the gap between the adjacent walls. Tiling around pipes, you should try and set them out and cut a semi circle from the edges of two adjacent tiles. When grouting use a waterproof grout for any bath or shower. A silicone sealant is best to seal the gap between the shower tray or bathtub and the wall.
