I'm in the process of remodeling my basement, and have turned my efforts to the bathroom. I’m going to be installing ceramic tile on the floor (the kind that looks like slate) and I will be installing a 1 piece 4x4 gel coat shower unit. My question is what comes first? Do I tile the floor completely and then install the shower on top of the tile or do I install the shower first and tile up to it?

Thanks
Scott

Well all I can think of is if you ever decide to replace the shower and the new one is a little bigger or smaller, it won't hurt anything if you originally tiled the whole floor.
