What the job includes

Setting out so cuts are even and joints line up with niches, windows and edges
Measuring wall and floor areas and working out quantities with an allowance for cuts
Floor preparation: overlaying timber floors with ply or backer board, or levelling a screed
Grouting, trims or mitred edges, and silicone at internal corners, the bath and the tray

Decisions to make first

Edges

Metal or PVC trims are quick and protect tile edges. Mitred edges look cleaner on porcelain and take more labour.

Natural stone

Marble, limestone and travertine need sealing and gentle cleaners, and can mark. Stone-effect porcelain gives a similar look without the upkeep.

Rules that apply in England

In England, tiling itself is not building regulations work. If it is part of forming a level shower floor with new drainage, that drainage can be Part H work, and any new electrics are covered by Part P.
