Hi,
I've read lots of threads, here and elsewhere, about whether to remove the furniture (ie. loo and sink) before putting down new flooring in a bathroom, then replacing furniture on top of new floor, to achieve a neat finish. I believe the usual thing with a roll of vinyl is not to remove the bathroom furniture, but to fit vinyl around it (to avoid trapping vinyl and later causing bubbles). But if I am using vinyl tiles rather than a roll, and therefore sticking the tiles down, would the job look neater if I tile under the furniture rather than cutting around it? I don't want the hassle of removing the loo if I can avoid it (is it a hassle? I know nothing about plumbing) but I do want to do a neat job.
Any advice appreciated - but please go easy on me - I'm not really much of a DIYer - just a single mum trying to make a few improvements with what little time and money I have!
Thanks.
