How long do you have to wait after laying ceramic floor tile to walk on?
Technically speaking, especially with the more modified thinsets, you're supposed to stay off it for 72 hours but so long as you're not twisting and turning on it while grouting, you should be fine. You don't want to open it to normal traffic for a couple of days, and you DON'T want anyone rolling or carrying any kind of weight for a week (like a fridge, or gas stove-- things like that).
How do you install tile in showers?
To transform a shower from dull to dramatic, tile a shower wall. Here's how to do it: Step 1: Measure the walls carefully; shower walls are seldom perfectly square and plumb. Do a dry layout of the tile (including spacers) on the floor using your measurements. Step 2: Working in a small section, spread thinset with a notched trowel and press the tile into place. Step 3: When the tile has set - typically about 24 hours - you can apply the grout. Mix grout in small batches that you will be able to use within 20 to 30 minutes. Step 4: Wait 24 hours and apply sealer to all the joints - and the tile if recommended. Natural stone and some other tiles will need a sealer to keep them from absorbing water. Gazed porcelain and ceramic tiles are already sealed.

How soon can i tile over new concrete?
It is advisable to wait a minimum of 28 days before tiling over newly poured concrete. This is because concrete needs time to cure and dry, allowing it to reach its full strength and prevent the tiles from cracking or coming loose over time. Once the waiting period has passed, the concrete surface should be thoroughly cleaned to remove any debris, and a primer or bonding agent may be necessary to ensure proper adhesion of the tiles. Following manufacturer instructions and consulting with a professional can help ensure a successful installation.

How long should it take to tile a small bathroom that is 3 by 3 metres with very large tiles?
Depending on the tilesetter, but typically a couple days. The floor needs to be prepared and if there was any patching it may need to dry. The tilesetter may want to come back the next day. Then the tile needs to be set and if the tilesetter has good tools that should only take an hour or two. Then the mortar needs to set before the tilesetter can do the grout. Grouting should take most of a day since the grout needs to cure while it is being cleaned. You should not walk on the tile while the grout is setting up and sealing the grout should wait for a few days. The time involved isn't so much a funciton of the size of the tile job, but more a function of the mortar and grout setting times.
