realspeed, Well done for getting a bargain! It will all look nice and fresh!!Re: looking to update en-suite
Actually tiling is not that hard. The placing of the tile around widows is the hardest part so they are even on each side. Once I had removed the old tiles ( little tip remove a few at a time and mark the plaster behind so you can replace in same position), cut the with a tile cutter on a tile cutting slider. Also you will need star shaped spacers to stop tiles butting up to each other. Apart from removing old tile cement left on the walls you just stick the new tiles in. then let dry behind and remove star spacers and grout the gaps. edges are finished off with plastic quadrant inserted while tiling .Re: looking to update en-suite

I have never had to add inserts to fill in gaps in tiles that don't fit. measure again and again , then cut any tiles that need cutting. Never ever heard of filling gaps with inserts. If I caught a Tiler doing that they would be straight off site. This is what I useRe: looking to update en-suite
The big problem will be taking off the old tiles if that is your intention, particularly if the walls are stud, as there is a high probability of damaging the plasterboard. It is perfectly acceptable these days to overtile as there are modern adhesives made specifically for that, so it may be worth considering that route before you start....it worked for us in the last house.Re: looking to update en-suite
