Lesson: always get extra tiles with installations, and store somewhere incase of damage or such. And don't use tile as leverage with a sharp chisel! LOL...
Everything I did at our house I kept an extra box of tile and they all went up on a platform in the Attic out of the way. Same for the hardwood only I kept it in condition space
For some reason when they drill those holes they always try to drill it middle of the grout, as if to damage as little of the tiles as possible but then the end result is tiles on both sides of the grout are damaged and need replacing…. Please if you are installing a grab bar or what not, just try to damage fewer tiles instead
I had the same problem in my shower. Bunch of cracked tiles from the 50’s. I looked on eBay but the prices were outrageous. So I started to replace them with tumbled travertine tiles. It has a very Romanesque look to it. In the future I could replace all the tiles at my own pace.
I wouldn't go so far as to stop watching the show but I agree that he has absolutely no screen presence. It's like watching an unfunny version of Hank Hill. And he hasn't really improved over the years so I hope the producers aren't planning on him being the replacement for Tommy.

Nice and carefully not careful
One tile just fell 0ff in my 1930 bungalo. What timing!!
Why was the pencil eraser used in cleaning up the grout? Is it a manufacturer's recommendation?
Wall bread looking tasty, boys! Nice job!

My man
Oh you have spare tiles, great, I was going to suggest this yellow tile I found. I do enjoy this show for over 25yrs 👍
How would you repair broken tile IF you don't have extra replacement tile?
@Navy1977lol
Buy new house
Just fill the holes with a filler color same as the tile.

Why not attach the tile to the wall with construction adhesive?
Nice 👍
They skipped over the entire part I came to watch the video for, which was the actual removal of the tile.
Why caulk and not grout?
It was grout in a tube.
A heat gun would have softened that mastic and the board would have not ripped
That will be $650
Lol I'm the 1st one here
nathan is the reason why i stopped watching this old house. he just rubs me the wrong way, no charisma what so ever
He doesn’t “rup” me. He just gets the job done. Maybe he will get a personality in future years.
Joe Ferrante (RIP) was the original TOH tile guru and was fun to watch.

He has replacement tiles and needs a pro to come put them in. Time to turn in your man card.
