Question
hey,also- do you recomend tiling under a toilet or not?

Answer
yes always tile under the toilet---years down the road if you change the toilet is will be easyer to install new one (the shape of the toilet bottoms vary, but tiling under it now-you will not have to worry later.

PS-you might need an extender ring to install the toilet-any plumbing supply store will have it

Expertise

I can answer questions about, Grout and ceramic tile restoration and installation. This topic generally focuses on new or old installations that have an existing problem. I can offer advice on how to correct common made installation mistakes. Such as, cementitious grout problems, efflorescence, ghosting, shading, and flashing. And tile installation problems such as, floor deflection, slip resistance, loose tiles, vapor transmission and many others. These are just a few of the problems associated with new tile and grout installations. I can also offer advice with restoring old tile and grout problems such as, sealer removal, re-sealing, grout re-coloring, grout repair, and caulking.
