How to Tile Around a Toilet with Wickes

[@youtubeuploads7208]

Most of these comments are mean. I personally have no-one to help so I would do this because all I need tiled since the tile person never returned is around the toilet so if any of you nay sayers to his video want to come and complete the tiling around the toilet for me let me know. This is exactly what I was looking for. All I need is for it to have tile around the toilet.. better than just backerboard showing for years now. He posted what this video was for and it's exactly what I personally was looking for.

[@kenmatete6935]

That's my old school way of doing it. Im watching from South Africa. My tiler didn't return and im going to do it myself tomorrow

[@TerrieCarter]

This is great for those who have anxiety about removing the toilet. I'm sold!

[@terry4912]

When you do it this way you will damage the tiles when you change the toilet or the wax seal. And it takes 10 times longer..and looks unprofessional.

[@ShortnSpicyNikks]

Best one yet

[@lburg3780]

Perfect! Putting down peel and stick tiles cause I’m not handy enough to do anything more complicated. And definitely NOT removing toilet for this! Fixing DIY plumbing mistakes is expensive.

[@aprincencarolina7289]

This should have a million views

[@elaineylane]

My husband is adamant about leaving the toilet in place while I tile. Thank you so much! I feel more confident after your video. So many videos on here are NOT as per the description.

[@kauaireed9006]

Did all go well with your doing the tile? Thanks

[@jonmoore4587]

absolutely the easiest fastest way to do this! Worked the first time!!! Thanks!!!

[@karenholt646]

You are awesome! As a woman DIYer laying vinyl tiles in my bathroom, you’ve saved me a headache and money! Thank you.

[@lornakelly2044]

This worked so well for me! If it's not an option to tile under the pedestal/toilet this is by far your best option. Highly recommend. Thank you so much!

[@angelicaj.f2042]

Best video I’ve seen so far that actually explained it really good.

[@DragonRyderNyx]

That's pretty ingenious. I needed to create a template for another complex wood project, and this method worked fantastically... thank you!!!

[@TheDukeOfZill]

The paper template is genius!!!

[@evannwhitt1705]

Extremely helpful! And I feel super empowered to take on this project now. Thank you!

[@smae890]

Amazing! So much better and easier than everything else I've watched today! 🥂

[@frakk2]

you could have very bad day :) just joke

[@muneca0078]

Easiest way to make a template that I have seen👍

[@realreviews4017]

I found this really helpful as there is no way I can remove the toilet. This helped me no end, so thank you. I used this technique using self adhesive vinyl planks, so obviously the cutting was easier, but knowing how to tackle the sink and toilet has given me a great finish to just pop some sealant on where there will be no garish gaps and it will look seamless.

[@Clairbear1222]

Wow, I was thinking the toilet had to be pulled up but no, this idea would work great and I am going to try it. I was wondering how ppl made those cuts.

[@DoverDanny]

This method is acceptable if you are not changing you toilet ever or any time soon. There are many designs to the bottoms of toilets, and you will find re-tiling around the toilet when you have to change it and also hope you will be able to find the same tile color and pattern. It's best to tile under the toilet to avoid this headache.

[@catalinacurio]

Wouldn’t it be quicker to use the tile cutting machine to take the bulk off the tile first before using the nipper?

[@CorinneSechrist]

What a great job. So neat and tidy. God bless.

[@Glorious82]

This solves many questions for me

[@HS-yi6bv]

Good, clear explanation and easy way!

[@sharonbusto363]

Thank you so much. It’s one of the most simplest ways in which to cut around the toilet. You’ve helped me a lot. Now all I have to do is put it into practice 😫

[@musicloverchicago437]

That's a really nice method for making a template.

[@raynaldoa.romero3871]

Thanks alot for the video, this helps alot.

[@MikeyJBlakeJR]

Brilliant! Thanks for the help, brother!

[@kimmi5704]

A template is a wonderful idea! Thanks

[@kenmatete6935]

Thanks for sharing. I did what you recommended here and it's perfect

[@anagramconfirmed1717]

Those of us working around toilets in our basements needed this, lol. I had to raise my toilet a couple inches on a mortar bed, and I didn't want tile interfering with the bond. Now I'm left to tile around a toilet like in this video. Cool tips, gave me some much needed perspective.

[@MoonOwl2012]

Make a video showing how to remove the toilet to replace it without breaking the tile.

[@Warriorant1]

Much better to remove the toilet and tile under. Flexi connector on water inlet makes life easy. Also, if you need to take the toilet out for maintenance it is far easy to move than trying to remove a tiled in toilet.

[@inspiredthinking1494]

Very helpful and easy. Thanks for sharing

[@stephenmallon1795]

Thanks this helped. A liitle tip when cutting the paper, try folding it a few times before you cut, it saves a lot of time!

[@youtubeuploads7208]

WOW. Thank you SO much. Exactly what i needed since my tiling person never returned to do the toilet area tiling.

[@ursulagates3106]

Wow… This is the simplest way I’ve seen yet. It’s awesome!! Thank you so much.😊

[@MAGAMAN]

The simplest way to to remove the toilet. If you don't and you don't have an absolutely perfect cut, it's going to look like shit. And, in 5 years when you need or want to replace your toilet, you are going to need a toilet that is exactly the same as the one you tiled around. If you think you can just replace you tiles at that time, you will find that either they don't make those tiles anymore, or the colors are not going to match because colors vary from lot to lot of tile. Now you are replacing your entire floor again because you wanted to save 20 minutes.

[@juliagoolia5604]

Best way ive seen yet. Imma try it wish me luck

[@wiwieksrdinsek2197]

Thank you buddy Very helpful ❤

[@HtotheT]

Thanks for sharing. Very helpful 👍🏼

[@mohghtil1705]

Your work is perfect

[@pauloroarty1799]

Wickes I love you.Brilliant Video

[@ToniRoberts0886]

This is phenomenal!! Thanks for sharing this!!!

[@Skills_02]

Hello What size of notch trowel is best for 595mm x 595mm and 9mm thick porcelain flooring tiles ? Thanks

[@kickpublishing]

Remove toilet, it takes 5 minutes, tile under it, refit toilet. Faster and no headache.

[@philipfernandes7973]

The President of The Internemsd

[@teslaandhumanity7383]

How do you anchor toilet screws into tile ? Sounds like more effort .

[@Glorious82]

Dull, the tile under the toilet won't align with other tiles, or the toilet won't align like earlier... Mxm

[@travlangley1]

Yeah don’t be a hack and just pull the toilet, if you can’t do that then you have no business doing any tile

[@gogetter1861]

This is by far the most stupid comment.... If you tiled underneath them the toilet pipe won't align and will leak

[@la196]

This is the best way to do this yet! Good one!

[@alohachristine]

Wow! Thank you so much!

[@frazzle657]

You could probably save time by cutting straight near the line then nipping the remainder

[@mrskye08]

which is better way, tile around the base of the toilet, or just place the toilet above the tiles? thanks

[@neilouellette3004]

Take the toilet off and tile. New $10 wax ring and put toilet back on. That is the proper way. Licensed 37 yrs.

[@lea-rw5cb]

When you say tile adhesive does it have to be floor tile adhesive?

[@jobrown04]

Wow this is awesome

[@andrewd5135]

This was good, i really didnt want to remove the toilet today.

[@Thelegend-gt5lb]

20 tiles later

[@marcusdollard7330]

I use to be a gc in nyc. In prewar buildings 2nd would war they would have a rule if you removed an original toilet you had to replace all branch plumbing $15000 30 years ago

[@daviddaniel6644]

This guy is funny 😄

[@laurahughes1987]

Or you could use a contour gauge which you sell, as I can’t move my loo

[@carolyng651]

BRAVO!!!

[@telosfd]

Nice trick, but always first we are laying tiles on the floor and then installing the toilet basin or the bidet.

[@Etherglide]

Smash toilet with a hammer. Tile floor. Buy new toilet.

[@johnnycash1365]

Lol

[@androidmaster2804]

how about angle grinder

[@Luke592GY]

If the floor is done title I have to remove the title then place the toilet and put down back fresh title?

[@livinglargeonasmallbudget1027]

You should just remove the toilet, tile under it, and then replace wax ring and reinstall the toilet. It it easy... I just did it myself when tiling my bathroom. Your template idea is ok for other obstructions but a toilet or a vanity should always be removed... never tile around them.

[@waheedbashirkhokharkhokhar4485]

nice work,but need more accuracy

[@anneoneill280]

Great template but should the wax seal under the toilet fail, all that toilet waist will leak under the tiles and may not be descovered right away. Thats nasty.

[@JS-qg1ie]

Or.... cut any silicone, undo 2 screws in the floor, 2 holding the cistern on the wall, turn the ball valve 90° with a screwdriver, undo the inlet pipe and remove the loo, tile the floor and replace the loo. It's probably the same time but a better job.

[@meejhgggg]

What about angle grinder 🤔

[@gentbego]

You are not supposed to tile around the toilet......The toilet should sit on top of the tiles so next time You need to remove the toilet You can do it in a matter of minutes instead of breaking the tiles.

[@Fd20y]

How many people need to remove their toilet? Answer me that

[@terry4912]

That looks like a huge headache. I'm going to tile up to the toilet flange and place to toilet over the tile. A way cleaner look and when you go to change the toilet seal your not lifting or damaging tiles.

[@satyajitmaitra3338]

Commendable

[@mattyabs3747]

Yeah because lifting a toilet out and tiling under it is just soooooooooo much work.

[@callihanhopwood6255]

The project like this step by step is described on the stodoys website and many more plans you can find on that website.

[@ozkrpalminteri9431]

If u use a piece of linoleum instead of paper is way easier

[@memealade6019]

Thank you

[@mohghtil1705]

Is anyone working with you

[@stuartbrown2529]

choclt fite

[@CJDJDANN1]

who else saw this on their KZbin home page and decided to watch it because they had nothing else better to do? 😂

[@tomislav5689]

Rr just remove the toilet and lay 4 whole tiles.

[@hj8607]

" How to Toil Around a Toilet "

[@whitefeather5629]

No. Nooo! I feel sorry for anyone who ever has to work on those plumbing fixtures in the future; now that they can't be removed and will possibly break as you get the grout from around them and try to pull that porcelain up. Put tile down first. Period! Then fixtures. These days you have the net for looking up how to do it right or how to reset a commode and sink. This is a prime example of not doing it right.

[@deanwitt7903]

So now you have counter sunk your toilet and if it leaks from the wax ring that’s a problem with water sitting under there .

[@evantspurrell]

never do this pull the toilet tile around the flange adjust the flange height with a flange extender. also the floor should be water proofed with a decoupling membrane before laying tile.

[@antonshkabara3090]

Woodglut is nice for that.

[@Rubyflooring]

First you remove the toilet then you do your tile that’s how it’s done that’s an Mickey Mouse job you’re doing over there buddy

[@stevecraft00]

Tiling around a bog is dog rough! yuck!

Damn!

[@alanjohnson8417]

Dare I say it: remove the loo, tile the floor, replace loo. Don't tile around the loo, it's stupid.

[@dsuess]

Always remove the toilet! When you go to replace the toilet your tile is going to be all effed up. I see your point, but please use a better example for working around a permanent structure

[@robbievargas8479]

Clearly you have never tiled before lmao. Shut up

[@Fd20y]

Yeah cos I change my toilet once a month, oh you have too don’t you? Moron

[@dorbin101]

There are 2 best ways. Either remove toilet method. 2nd, use of measure tape. And cut exactly the right shape, maximum 3 mm space gap between tile and toilet. Then coke with silicone

[@juniorkawai6131]

Hmm. I don't know if I can reach my nose to the base of the toilet.

[@dsgmouldings4893]

guddi

[@sh3riff]

Don't follow this method at all!!! You should tile under your toilet to create a fully water tight floor. Remove your toilet and tile the whole floor. Then replace your toilet and seal fully around the edge!!

[@jgocar24]

Utter nonsense. Who in their right mind wouldn't just remove the toilet, tile under it like normal people do and then reinstall the toilet. I can't believe someone who considers themselves a professional would actually release this a video like this.

[@markwyn2040]

jgocar24 I would agree, if it was all new work being performed. Meaning, the toilet flange could be set above or below the tile bed.

[@MAli99923]

Not every situation is the same. Sometimes you can do as you suggested whilst at other times you have to work round it ... Its all done according to the situation.

[@christophertaylor156]

You have a point. But are you going to remove every upstickle? What about a circular concrete callum!

[@barbaraclark5470]

jgocar24 I would not know how to remove the toilet though

[@markraymond6351]

@@barbaraclark5470 You found this stupid video. I have confidence that you can find one of the MANY videos showing how to remove and install a toilet.

[@teksight9714]

You don't tile around a toilet. You lay the floor up to the flange and set the toilet on the new floor with the flange 1/4 inch above the new floor. So, if you or the next owner of the house wants to replace the toilet someday with a different model and different footprint, you don't have to do any flooring work. This video should be how to tile around a toilet flange. Only a house flipper would think this is a good idea. SMH.

[@LiannaLovelle]

Huh. You assume too much. I’ve just bought a house (to live in) that needs this. I am absolutely not taking the toilet out. So yeh, this vid is perfect.

[@beelzebobtheinnocent1659]

Fire the tiler for A ) using mastic glue, and B ) not lifting the toilet. Shit job guaranteed

[@Swiper360]

Just take the toilet out, what's wrong with people

[@cherylellis4324]

:-)

[@anitagoodsleep5330]

Get toilet/sink taken out them days are gone

[@francischarlo177]

Aazz🇦🇮

[@robrob7011]

Must remove toilet and tile under it also. This video is absolutely false

[@nebojsanjegovanovic8429]

Jesus you handymen should stop posting videos of things you are not sure of doing.. who the hell cuts a tile with a hand saw in the first place..oh i dont wanna go on with all the things wrong in this video

[@kateiwaniak5386]

This is wrong why of doing it. You showing people.how to mess it up. Tilles should be under a toilet to stop leaks going in to.the floor. Covboy jobs...

[@CulturedWhiteBoy]

Bad advice.

[@amanwithhiscigaretteandcof3474]

Thank you for the video bro. 👍
