How to Change the Tiling Around Your Toilet with Dremel US20V

Start by removing the existing tiles around the toilet. Using a chisel and hammer, carefully chip off the old tiles. Be mindful not to damage the surrounding area. Once the tiles are removed, sand down any leftover grout to create a smooth surface. If the wall is uneven, you may need to skim it for a perfectly flat surface before you begin tiling.

Measure the area around your toilet and create a detailed tiling plan. Find the center of the wall and work outward toward the edges and corners. This ensures that any cut tiles will be evenly distributed for a balanced, professional look.

Remove any obstacles like the toilet flush plate so you can tile seamlessly around the toilet area. Spread tile adhesive evenly across the prepared surface, ensuring full coverage for a secure bond. Begin by applying the whole tiles in the center and work your way outward, using tile spacers to maintain even gaps between tiles.

For the edges, corners, and around the base of the toilet, you’ll need to cut tiles to fit.

Once all tiles are in place, let the adhesive dry completely. Then apply grout between the tiles, wiping away any excess with a damp sponge. Once the grout dries, reinstall any fixtures like the flush plate and toilet roll holder. For an easier installation, consider using a suction-based toilet roll holder to avoid additional drilling into the newly tiled wall.

Finish off by grouting and when that’s dry, screw in a toilet roll holder – or even better, apply one with a suction pad so there’s no need to drill - and you’re done!
