Our How to Tile Around a Toilet will show you how to accurately cut your tiles to ensure a snug fit. Don’t forget: you can apply the same method when tiling around hand basin pedestals or other obstacles.
When it comes to tiling a bathroom floor, you’re almost guaranteed to encounter obstacles - such as the toilet pedestal. To stay in keeping with the rest of the floor, the tiles for this area need to be accurately cut from a paper template and fitted snugly. Simply watch this video to find out exactly what you need to do. And don’t forget: you can apply the same method when tiling round handbasin pedestals.
Preparation & Planning
Leave this part of the tiling until last, and make sure you leave more than half a tile’s distance from the toilet or handbasin pedestal to the next full tile. The floor must also be primed, clean, dry and level before tiling can begin.
Aftercare
After finishing your tiling project, use a grout protector spray to stop penetration by water, dirt, oil, grease and lime scale. Using this product will help to prolong the life of your grout and keep the area easy to clean.
Getting the job done - hints & tips
Check our video 'How to Cut Tiles' for more methods to cut your tiles to size and for different ways to cut the curves you may need.
Safety
Always use protective gloves and protective goggles whilst cutting tiles.

Perfect! Putting down peel and stick tiles cause I’m not handy enough to do anything more complicated. And definitely NOT removing toilet for this! Fixing DIY plumbing mistakes is expensive.

Most of these comments are mean. I personally have no-one to help so I would do this because all I need tiled since the tile person never returned is around the toilet so if any of you nay sayers to his video want to come and complete the tiling around the toilet for me let me know. This is exactly what I was looking for. All I need is for it to have tile around the toilet.. better than just backerboard showing for years now. He posted what this video was for and it's exactly what I personally was looking for.

This method is acceptable if you are not changing you toilet ever or any time soon. There are many designs to the bottoms of toilets, and you will find re-tiling around the toilet when you have to change it and also hope you will be able to find the same tile color and pattern. It's best to tile under the toilet to avoid this headache.

Great template but should the wax seal under the toilet fail, all that toilet waist will leak under the tiles and may not be descovered right away. Thats nasty.

@livinglargeonasmallbudget1027 5 жыл бұрын

You should just remove the toilet, tile under it, and then replace wax ring and reinstall the toilet. It it easy... I just did it myself when tiling my bathroom. Your template idea is ok for other obstructions but a toilet or a vanity should always be removed... never tile around them.

That looks like a huge headache. I'm going to tile up to the toilet flange and place to toilet over the tile. A way cleaner look and when you go to change the toilet seal your not lifting or damaging tiles.

Or.... cut any silicone, undo 2 screws in the floor, 2 holding the cistern on the wall, turn the ball valve 90° with a screwdriver, undo the inlet pipe and remove the loo, tile the floor and replace the loo. It's probably the same time but a better job.

No. Nooo! I feel sorry for anyone who ever has to work on those plumbing fixtures in the future; now that they can't be removed and will possibly break as you get the grout from around them and try to pull that porcelain up. Put tile down first. Period! Then fixtures. These days you have the net for looking up how to do it right or how to reset a commode and sink. This is a prime example of not doing it right.
