Should Tile be Installed on Bathroom Floor prior to Toilet and Vanity Installation

Planning a Bathroom Remodeling Project and Don’t Know where to Start?

By Mark J. Donovan




From an installation standpoint and from a homeowner standpoint it is better to install the tile before installing the toilet and sink/vanity when doing a Bathroom Remodeling project. You will get a much cleaner look and the installation job will be much easier (not having to cut around the toilet and vanity areas).

Also, later on if you need or want to change the toilet or vanity you don’t need to find replacements with the same footprint or have to redo your tile area to fit the new footprint(s).
