Title: bathroom basin
Post by JohnD on Jun 22^nd, 2005, 12:48am

When fitting a bathroom basin to a tiles floor, should I screw it to the floor and mastic it afterwards, or bed it in tile cement, screwit down and then grout it in the same grout as the floor tiles.

The pan has been compo'ed in as normal.

Thanks

JohnD

I sat both the pan and sink pedestal in 'Plumber's Mait' putty-type stuff before screwing down. This was to an oak timber floor to allow a bit of movement.
