- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- In this video I show how to remove a tiled shower tub combo by taking it out in large chunks instead of little bits of tile.
This is part 2 of the series "Grandpa Bath". We are doing a full bathroom remodel, including repairing water damage, replacing old plumbing, dropping the subfloor for a curbless entry shower, and changing the waste pipe from 1-1/2" cast iron to 2" ABS.
Stay tuned for more episodes in this series and be sure to watch episode 1 if you haven't already. Watch it here: • Toilet Leak causes MAJ...

Good lord. What will it take for some safety glass?
Hey at least he has hearing protection WHAT???
I have regretfully gotten a chunk of tile in my eye during demo.
Let me tell you how painful it is. Getting a piece of sawdust in your eye is irritating but tile? Oh ho.... tile in the eye is no bueno.
Most likely some type of eye injury.
I was thinking the same thing. Safety first 🙄
@@marks9949 absolutely no bueno, I am a member of the club, I've had wood, metal and tile, the tile was a demon from hell... omg it makes my eye twitch just thinking about it...
I know this is four years old but you’re doin gods work brother. The value in videos like these can’t be understated.
So premium. I felt like I could do this after watching you and you know what? I could! I totally did it!! I’ve never subscribed to any UA-cam channel ever but ima subscribe to your channel because you’re more than talk - you actually help. Meaningfully. Thank you!
"Be smart to turn off the water, ah screw it." We say that on every job! lol Great vid!
@@TileCoach I've been there as well, although I was without my helper that day had to call over a friend while I let water blast me in the chest and drain into the tub...didnt want to put hand over pipe and force water behind the wall
@@TileCoach aww man lol at least we've all made it through those nightmares and can look back and laugh at them now. Enjoy your videos by the way, theres alot of people who just dont have a clue.
I'm rippin out a newer shower maybe ten years shouldn't I try and keep the wall intact
You seem like such a good dude, just hearing you talk about random tid bits and tips is so great
Some DIY & even pros don’t realize how sharp tile can be when broke. It’s razor sharp & you have to be mindful when demoing & working w/ it. Sorry got cut, but, you showed everyone just how truly sharp tile can be.
Thx for the vid, REALLY ENJOY seeing these types of vids & hope there’s more....& longer more detailed/step by step vids as well(I’d watch a 20-30 min vid from you!)👍🏻
Cheers✌🏼
Didn't know Robbie Lawler did bathrooms remodeling. Great job 👏
Hi Isaac. You should wear safety glasses when hitting these old ceramic varnished tiles with a hammer. The bits are sharper than a razor blade. Take care and keep up with the good work. Greetings from Belgium, Europe.
I was going to say the same thing.I do the same thing but I always use dust mask and eye protection.
I think he quickly closes his eyes the moment he's about to hit tile.
Such a bad ass channel. Your like an old school stone mason and that’s the type of work I want to learn. I like truck driving but if I could make the same money I would definitely get into tile at 40 years old. Cool trade!
Thanks
Mike from Chicago
Glad I found you! This is the exact same setup in my sons home that we want to tackle! Love your work!
Definitely love the "buzz tool." The "buzz tool" always makes the job easier. Haha
watch those tiles are sharper than you think, I nearly lost the tendon in one hand, I was pulling tiles off tired one night, and put my hand in the wall to check for pipes and scraped the tendon on the way back out.
Hey Isaac! Why are you tearing out my bathroom!??!? Ha ha. My bath was built exactly the same way, til I tore it out. This video is bringing back memories. Cheers bro. I love your videos.
Great videos. I'm a builder in the northeast, our methods here are different. But your way of thinking and questioning and always looking for the best way to do things is excellent. I thought I was the only one . Lol. Keep the videos coming
DEMO GLOVES- LEATHER ! , SAFETY GLASSES, RESPIRATOR ?
YOU ARE YOUNG, YOU WANT TO ENJOY YOUR LATER YEARS, RIGHT ?
YOUR EFFORTS WITH YOUR BUSINESS AND PRESENTING THESE VIDEOS, IS APPRECIATED BY MANY PEOPLE !
THANK YOU !
For real. Good info, but painful to watch all that dust.
For someone to take their own time to coach us DIY's says a lot about his character. Thanks!
As an original bath those tiles still look good
What a beast pulling that cast iron tub out of the wall in one piece all by yourself. 🙂
i saw an installer use the rubberized foil tape like you use on door sills as a band around the tub flange and up the wall 6 inches. then the backer board went to the top of the flange. so the critical bottom of the board is far above the water and the studs are protected from seeping wetness.
This should be a video of how NOT to demo. I love your work and have used your techniques but......
Safety, safety, SAFETY brotha! Eye, ear, mask, long sleeves, leather gloves, pants, and foot protection.
Breaking tile is like breaking glass. The fine dust that broken tile and cement make will cut. Demo only took a couple of hours. I would rather sweat my ass off than lose an eye or cut my hand.
To address the wicking of water behind drywall and cement board, code requires a vapor barrier (4-6 mil thick plastic). I had a customer in 2015 who’s bathroom had severe water damage and as I was replacing the studs, joists, and sub flooring, he asked if I could water proof the wood so I used Red Guard directly on the wood before putting up the vapor barrier. I now offer this to all my customers.
Overkill, not in the lest bit. Water always wins. We can only slow it down.
When we have to separate wire lath solid 2" walls like you did, we use a 3 foot long pry par for a much better mechanical advantage. We nick named it Ivan.
Appreciate this. I have this exact bathroom and was about to start trying to hammer it the hard way. Can you elaborate on how you repair the wood rot in the load bearing wall in a future video?
Typically on jobe where a window has been improperly located / installed, I've offered other options for light and air circulation, this eliminates the #1 offender of water intrusion into the exterior wall at shower enclosures .
Good videos !
I"m so very glad I watched this because other plumbing companies told me it would be a nightmare to take off the old subway tile out of my bathroom built in the 70's because they said the tiles would be cemented in and they would have to sledgehammer off all of the tiles. I feel more comfortable now trying to do it myself.
I just did it in my old bathroom. The last time it was remodeled was 1981. Same story as this guy's video. It came right off with a crowbar and a hammer and a masonry paddle. All these construction companies want to rip you off
Bless you young man, you are an inspiration. I love your attitude, work ethic, always learning (old/new school), videos very informative. I'm learning a lot. Many young folks and some older could learn from you. I'm an RN, so concerned about the dust from tile and compound material. I know, masks are hard to wear & work in all day, been there, done it. My dad died from asbestosis 60 years later. Take care. I love your videos.
That tile you tore out was beautiful.
hahaha, great video dude.....our ego is strong, but our willing to explore and learn is way way bigger!
Can't wait to see the walk in shower. I have some old tub/showers I'd like to remove and install a walk in.
Just ripped these exact same fixtures and valve assembly from my 1951 house hahha Thanks Mr. Ostrom
didn't expect the tile to cut you like that. can't wait for ep3 of this rehab
epair
This came right on time I’m about to tear out a 1960/70 bathroom with the ugly green color obviously the waterproof aspect failed when the soap dish fell out. Thanks for the pointers I know exactly what to do now!
Nice video, but you probably should wear some sort of eye protection when smashing tiles. A tiny shard that comes of a tile can really ruin your day.
Wow, never realized broken tile could be that sharp.
Imagine if a piece of that hit him in the eye.
I love when studs say "stud" 😅
curbless entry... will be waiting for that!
Thanks so much. I'll be doing this project in the spring.
Thanks for this video. I have the exact same wire and mudbed to remove and the exact same ridgid buzz tool to take it off!
I love to see mud float rip outs tilings always flush in good condition. Not to say theres not any mud float fails ive just never seen a bad job on a mud float.
So is adding 6" aquabar a good fix for replacing tiles on the tub flange? It's a 50s bath being restored, not replaced. All the other tile and fixtures are mint, but the ones at the tub line had a crack. Any tips?
Another good video. I'm following this series closely because mom's 1963 house has almost all the same issues. Glad you had gloves on, I also didn't realize the old tiles could be that sharp. Good info.
Fantastic explanation and knowledge.
There is a tool to get the drain out if the cross inside breaks. It’s a solid piece with teeth to bite in and grab the drain, kind of like an easy out for a bolt.
Brilliant video, and many thanks!. To the point. Sorry about the cut, diminishes any job, though small. I like to leave a job, on the job and not carry it home with me, not even as a little ache. Would love to see a rebuild, and how you apply the Kerdi felt. I would think at the edge of the tub, there would be a ridge, which would life the tile. There's gotta be a way around it, but how? Thanks again.
The thing that worries me with demolishing older bathrooms are the possibility of asbestos material being present in there.
showing your mistakes is almost more valuable then the actual job so KEEP those in there. It's the little things, the average DIY'r doesn't get that makes the job feasible or mentally too hard, so the more details anything is greatly appreciated.
Another great video. I’m about to tackle the same, so thanks for the pointers!
Always enjoy these videos. Nice one Isaac.
I would love to see a video about removing a fiberglass shower to make it a tile shower! Your other vids are so helpful! Thanks!
Wouldn't be much of a video because it happens fast with a sawzall. Just cut it into sections and pull it out.
Thanks a lot for the information
Thank you so much! Very informative!
Hey issac I just finished a custom shower and uploaded it to my UA-cam channel. Please give me your honest input. I watch you and other tile guys Chanel’s and appreciate all your content and vids. Great quality work and very knowledgeable much love from Illinois
You got lucky on removing the drain. My place was built in '73 and the cross snapped clean at the bottom threads when I tried to remove it. Dremel cutoff wheel to the rescue.
Great video. very informative
Wish they did it like that in Alabama lol the ones I have to take out are tar paper on the studs chicken wire on top of that and then 1in to 1.5in of mud then tile lol and it is way more difficult to do than that lol
Great job! That's exactly how I do it. I would wear a mask though, those old buildings have asbestos in that drywall 100%. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to the next video!
I watch bcuz I am a DIYer with a house I call operation chaos!!! So many projects underway!!! Bathroom updates are on my list. I also watch bcuz Issac is attractive!!! 😆 what can I say.
Is there ever any concern for asbestos? Thanks
Aloha from Kauai! I have the same question as Austin Scott. Very curious how they are going to repair that old subfloor? Will they add floor joists to the girder and throw 3/4 ply over it? Or will your carpenter be making 2x6 T&G? If they stick with the traditional 2x6 framing, what are the weight limitations as far as your tile goes? I have encountered a similar project recently and would like to know your thoughts. Thanks for all the videos.
You started talking about my issue @ 8:00 in your video that I'm stumped on. I'm putting up hardibacker board and after watching so many videos I decided to put on top of the flange. Then I question if I should put it over the flange, resting on the tub part. You mention water will seep through over time and destroy the concrete or drywall. I believe National tile association and other people argue of installing it over the flange.
Damn, thats the only time I've heard you cuss. And you did it 2 times within like 10 seconds. LOL Also, cussing from an injury is allowed.
Cool video
Great work
Dude why don't you wear safety glasses. ?
One of the tile guys I watch would have a 1/2" gap between the tub and wall board. Then the tile down closer to the tub. And caulking filling that gap. Any water behind the caulking doesn't have anywhere to go.
Keep those fixtures. Hipsters will pay good money for those fixtures. Even that tile would get top dollar if they were clean.
Was really hoping for the cathartic moment of you smashing the tub in half. Either way, nice work.
Get some tape and a piece of toilet paper. That will fix you right up.
Get that drain tool from harbor freight. They cost $15 or more from home depot and $5 at harbor freight. While you are there get you some of those wire brushes for cleaning copper pipe.
awesome! I saw a couple of your videos. Love the detail you put into these projects.
I remember my first bathroom remodel.
Only works that way when it was installed over sheetrock. Deal with stucco and mesh to the studs and you are going to work your ass off and you are going to carry a tone of cement outside. And the mess is bad at best.
I'm going thru this issue today . Tile pieces began to fall out house built in 1957. Now I got to figure out what to do we only have 1 bathrooms.. wonder if it can be repaired in 2 days ..
Was there asbestos in that house considering the fixtures were from the 60s?
You mean like that two layers of old Lino or the old plaster?
The fixtures no. But the tile and linoleum most likely have asbestos. Why he is not wearing a mask I just don’t understand. In fact even the disposable has to be handled appropriately.
Thanks for showing me how to doit
Link to EP 1, please? Tried searching for it on your channel; no dice.
Hell yeah.. respect ✊
Get the big bar bud. Hello!!!!
I had a drain where the cross rotted out. I took a 2 x2 and whittled it Round on bottom. Drove it into the drain and screwed it out with channel locks
I have an older house and the shower tile just sucks. The floating wall is about 3/4 to an inch thick. Can I just bust the tile and smooth the wall and retile or Do you have to take out the floating wall ( I don’t want to replace the tub, it’s old school cast iron and I dig it.) thanks
Ways appreciate you videos. Wear some safety glasses so you can keep making them for a long time to come!
Are you changing out the tub? Other wise, you might want to protect it a bit?
Why is it when I remodel 50-60 year old house it looks dryer behind than a 15-20 year old? Seems like quality went way down in past couple decades.
What do you call that tool to unscrew the drain, and where do you get it? Thanks
Isaac Ostrom Thanks man. Keep up the good work. 👍🏻
Well I'm thinking that was some craftsman that put the tile up. It wasn't coming down without a fight.
No safety glasses, but you got ear plugs lol.
Fuck yea I hope that shit comes off that smooth for me tomorrow. Lol
I wish I could upload the bathroom I took apart from the 70's. Old school tile but mine was a MOTHER! The shower was a nightmare but the rest came off with a pry bar & a hammer.
Please tell me you covered the drain hole:/
@@TileCoach great job by the way always watching your videos you should film threw most of the job and build episodes!!
What's the name of the "bust tool"? Like electric drywall knife?
Tile coach. I have granite slabs in my shower with hardi-board all screwed to the studs. Any tips to get this granite out?
I'm done with tile showers. Getting ready to do demo then install enclosure. Please wear safety glasses and mask! Thanks for the tips.
Didn't turn off the water like the three stooges plumbing episode. 😆
I had those same exact fixtures /values same chicken wire and mud bed ....lasted 65 years but it had to go.
Do those tiles have lead in them?
Why does the old systems hold up so well compared to the new systems? The 9ld doesn't have all the technology...
Can anyone please help? I removed a 1950s bathroom, the tiles were set directly to the block wall, over a mudbed? Now the mudbed is very rough with some deep craters, and removing it all doesn't seem like a feasible option. How can I get this tile ready? How can I patch and smooth the wall? Or any advice on how to remove the mudbed? I'd definitely prefer to smooth the wall. Please help
What do you do when there is mold in the drywall behind the tile?
If you can remove just the titles and save the wire lath, is it possible to put the new tile on the old lath?
Did you have the drywall tested for asbestos? Tile for lead? They're finding asbestos in homes built in the 2000's now.
Is tiling better than cheap fiberglass surrounding?
Better for your resale value.
@@boltup5566
But which one is better for the quality?
@@MinecraftPro97k Tile is better than fiberglass. Both in quality and for your resale value.
It depends on too many factors. Both can be wrong or right.
Tile is almost always better quality. The look. The feel. And much more.
Not that fiberglass can't be done well, but it is typically simple, cheap, and bland.
Well, functionally, they basically do the same job. Tile looks better. Plastic (fibreglass) is less maintenance.
Why not tile on drywall and grout and then install into the house in 3 pieces with special adhesive
how did you fix the load-bearing wall?
Got a band aid good man lol but fuck the eye protection tru tile setter yeeee thats why i come here cuzz you keep it real good video man
