When tiling a bathroom floor, I know to remove the toilet first - but should the tile be cut such that it lies underneath the edge of the toilet base or does it need to be cut such that no tile actually lies underneath the toilet when it is replaced?

I have been laying tile for 12 years and you must tile right up to the toilet flange. Leave about a half inch around the flange. also make sure the tiles under the toilet area are level with each other or the toilet will rock.

Thanks for the response! Seems like most of the DIY guides skip this little detail.

Wall and Flooring Indoor Tiling
tile floors

on Jan 31, 2000

We bought a home that was built in 1970. The floors have Linolum (12" squares). We want to pull this up and put down ceramic tiles. We are told that we can leave old squares on the floor if glued down good. Well, some is some is not. My wife wants to put it in all of the rooms too. I have never seen ceramic tile in bedrooms before. Does this sound ok?? Is this good or not a good idea? thanks RodneyRead More
