Q: Should I replace the toilet or tile first?

• <div><p>When working on your bathroom floor tiling, you should always tile the floor first and then refit the toilet afterward. This has both practical and visual advantages&mdash;the tile will have a better seal, and the installation will look cleaner.</p><p>On the other hand, when you try to cut the tiles to fit around the toilet, you&rsquo;re putting yourself at a disadvantage. It&rsquo;s a lot more work, it&rsquo;s hard to be precise, and mistakes or miscalculations can lead to future moisture damage to the tiling, grout, and subfloor.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to cut tile wet or dry?

• <div><p>Generally speaking, it is better to cut tile wet when using a fast-moving wet saw to reduce dust and chipping. However, tile can be cut dry when using just about any cutting tool. Dry cutting will result in a bigger mess and may increase the risk of chipping or cracking, but if you&rsquo;re just making small cuts, dry cutting is a safe and viable option. Cutting dry also means you can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-clean-tile-and-grout.htm">apply tile grout</a> sooner, so it&rsquo;s better for rushed projects.</p></div>

Q: Can you cut tiles without a tile cutter?

• <div><p>Yes, but you&rsquo;ll have to use some other type of tool to avoid damaging the tile and possibly injuring yourself. Some alternatives to tile cutters include a glass cutter, angle grinder, and wet saw. Depending on the tile material, you might simply be able to measure and score it with something sharp, like a carbide-tipped pencil, and break it off. Be sure to sand the edge for a smooth installation.</p></div>

Q: How do porcelain tiles compare to ceramic tiles?

• <div><p>Porcelain and ceramic tiles are made from clay, but porcelain tiles are fired in a kiln at a higher temperature. This makes them more durable, but it also means porcelain is more expensive than ceramic at <b>$3 to $5 more per square foot</b>.</p><p>Even with the higher price point, many people choose porcelain over ceramic because there are more color and design options.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to tile a shower?

• <div><p>On average, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-to-tile-a-shower.htm">tiling a shower costs</a> between <b>$1,800 and $5,000</b>, with most people paying around <b>$2,700</b>. The price of this project depends on multiple factors, including the kind of tile you choose, the size of your shower, and labor rates in your area. If you decide to tile your own shower (instead of hiring a professional), it&rsquo;ll likely cost <b>$800 to $1,400</b>.</p></div>

"It was my first time using this company and I couldn’t be happier with the job they did on my couches carpet and upholstered chains. Any previous stubborn stain on my chairs is now completely gone. They bring their own water and whatever products they use left a really nice clean smell. The two owners who did my job are professional friendly and extremely good at their job. I plan on spreading the word about them and for sure will be using them again. As for their price -it is way more reasonable then companies I have used in the past"

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts

When working on your bathroom floor tiling, you should always tile the floor first and then refit the toilet afterward. This has both practical and visual advantages—the tile will have a better seal, and the installation will look cleaner.

On the other hand, when you try to cut the tiles to fit around the toilet, you’re putting yourself at a disadvantage. It’s a lot more work, it’s hard to be precise, and mistakes or miscalculations can lead to future moisture damage to the tiling, grout, and subfloor.

Dry cutting will result in a bigger mess and may increase the risk of chipping or cracking, but if you’re just making small cuts, dry cutting is a safe and viable option.

Yes, but you’ll have to use some other type of tool to avoid damaging the tile and possibly injuring yourself. Some alternatives to tile cutters include a glass cutter, angle grinder, and wet saw.

Be sure to sand the edge for a smooth installation.

Porcelain and ceramic tiles are made from clay, but porcelain tiles are fired in a kiln at a higher temperature. This makes them more durable, but it also means porcelain is more expensive than ceramic at $3 to $5 more per square foot.

Even with the higher price point, many people choose porcelain over ceramic because there are more color and design options.

On average, tiling a shower costs between $1,800 and $5,000, with most people paying around $2,700. The price of this project depends on multiple factors, including the kind of tile you choose, the size of your shower, and labor rates in your area.
