How to lay ceramic tile in bathroom floor.

Beginning with the center tile set the bathroom tiles one by one into the spread mortar or adhesive giving a wiggle or twist to each tile to ensure a strong bond. The number of tiles you will need will depend on the size of the tile you wish to lay as well as the tile pattern you will like on the floor. Insert spacers to keep the tiles separated and allow room for grout. The entire cost of this laying tile project for a typical bath ranges from 300 to 600.

Shift the tiles if needed so any cuts that must be made by the wall are against the least noticeable wall. Position tiles to minimize visibility of tiles that must be cut to size. Using a tape measure or digital laser tape measure the room from one wall to the opposite wall and note the distance. Then lay tile in a configuration that will use the most whole tiles and best fits the space.

If you re comfortable using basic hand tools and have the patience to align tiles just right you can handle laying tile. Use tile spacers to make sure tiles are square and evenly spaced.
