When remodeling a bathroom, what is the correct order
1) rip off the old toilet, bath tub. etc..
2) tiling - can I put new tiles on the existing ones?
3) tiling first? or putting on the new fixture first?
Remove the toilet, tub and fixtures. Then demo the old tile. You can lay the new tile on the old stuff but I wouldn't recommend it unless the carpet next to the bathroom door is thick enough to sit higher than or level with the tile. Tile first, then new fixtures. Caulk or grout the fixtures to the tile.

You don’t want your toilet or anything else to be in while you’re tiling. So rip out toilet, bath tub…tile…put in toilet and btub.

first go demo, all fixures and tiles and stuff… dont put tile on the new stuff
also might be a good idea put in fixures first before tileing so you know where the tiles will go, its easier to cut tiles to fit first then to make it fit later after you put it somewhere you didnt intend to have it….. do it right the first time instead of fixing it later

remove fixtures, then tiles- then replace tiles and fixtures last- Be sure to stuff a rag in the drain holes so the sewer gas doesn’t leak while you are doing your project.
