Hi from South Australia, I was just scrolling by as one does, & I found your channel, I'm so glad I did, I love how you show us all easy step by step on how to do, once again thank you so much, & I described you have me hooked.
Great job, I know they sell a kit for raising your drain for $6 or $7, but it’s so exact and your drain opening must be exactly 3 3/8” center to center for the screws to align. Your way of cutting PVC outside the screw holes is much simpler and the idea of cutting the new PVC drain is brilliant. 😊 Thank You.
hi a very informative video. When finishing off the corners with silicone, I would suggest first tooling off the silicone with your finger first, then spraying it with water, followed by a spray of soapy water and then another tooling off with your fingers. If you spray the silicone before tooling it off, you prevent the silicone sticking to the tiles on the feather edges of the bead and mould will establish in these areas. cheers
This is an excellent video, possibly the best on this subject (I haven't watched them all...) and I send the link to everybody who asks me about tiling over tile in the shower. Even homeowners who won't do the work need to know how to do it to demand the best result from the installers they hire. This was a superb job in all details, which unfortunately required many work interruptions and return trips that most professional installers would try to avoid by cutting corners to make more money. The results of this job depend largely on the detailed work that only a knowledgeable and careful installer can deliver **IF** they are paid enough for the time invested.
This is one of, if not THE BEST, MOST COMPLETE, DIY video I have ever seen. Most videos skip some steps which the author feels is probably common knowledge. You left nothing out! Great job! My shower is on a concrete slab floor so I'm not as worried about leakage, but still plan to follow every step shown here. Thank you! :-)
@@renovationschool8818 just quickly question is a little confuse so I have to cut and glue the first part than I have to cut the second one exactly like your video or is the pipe or the same drain??
Great video! I have a shower tile floor that has a low corner where water pools. Probably 1/4" drop in a foot, but in the wrong direction. How thick can you lay thinset like this? Enough to be able to correct that slope, or does the whole mudbed have to be redone at that point?
Nice job..we haven't used our shower stall because of small leak and grout being old. I would love to tile over it instead of digging it up. This looks very nice
Great information I have the complete opposite Meritorious cove the pebble tile with flat tile. Original Slope is off. Leaves stand water. How can I use your method and add a slight slope for drainage Hope you can respond. It’s been 6 yrs. Everyone wants a complete tear out. One video and I subscribed!!!! Thank you in advance God bless!
This is an amazing video with all the steps needed. I do have a question, have you ever done a job and then figured that the grout color didn't look good with the tiles or bathroom? What would you do then?
Nice job. I used the Mapei stuff also and the large tiles adhered nicely over old tile. I probably should have gave it 2 coats. And if you miss a place, go back and fill it in, because if you don't, you will pay the price, as the top tile will NOT adhere.
You can remove the existing and add one of these and then use a new drain cover for the top part www.google.ca/shopping/product/1?q=schluter+shower+drain+extension&sca_esv=0f8df8f1fcc87b34&biw=412&bih=757&tbs=vw:l&sxsrf=ADLYWILDtQu2k8w2vko_YiRve404MuM03g:1719715957693&prds=num:1,of:1,eto:13217570201099164063_0,prmr:1,cs:1
@@renovationschool8818 yup sure i can design it just drop me message on my WhatsApp ill show you my past work and I am sure that you will be amazed from my work.
My problem, also. How to slope towards the drain? Obviously a tiny bit more mastic around the edges sloping down to the drain? But how to determine you have that correct?
Fantastic video. Your instructions were clear and detailed. I appreciate the effort. I am going to pull out the walls in my shower but tile over my floor since it doesn't leak. Surprisingly I picked out the same exact tile from Lowes. Can you tell me what color grout you used. It looks perfect with the natural stone. Also, is it over kill to paint on a membrane like Redguard and if I did go that route would you suggest to put the primer over the Redguard? Thanks
Thanks for watching 🙂 I don't remember the grout colour but I'm sure I showed it in the video you may be able to see what brand and colour it was if you watch the video one more time. just use any sanded grout that matches the colour of the tiles ( stay away from premixed grout they suck so much) As far as applying redguard on the old tiles it depends, if your tile has a rough texture it should work, but if the floor tiles are shiny and big redguard will not stick as well as this primer. this primer adheres very well to tiles even if they're shiny. if the shower floor doesn't leak I suggest using the primer overall. If you want to use the redguard id say to apply this primer first and then apply the redguard on top if you want to. The primer is used for bonding the materials. All the best 👍
I've been doing a lot of research. I have the same drain as yours. Do I have to worry about weep holes not being in the drain? I have a sloped shower floor that drains to the middle but not sure if they used a motor bed? My plan was to sand, apply the tile primer, then a coat of Red Gard, and then install Kerdi membrane and a Kerdi curb to make sure the floor doesn't leak. I do have a small leak on the outside of the present curb which is probably wood and not sealed properly. Any thoughts?
Great job! I have a quick question, I have these stone tiles right now(the one you installed), can I do a tile over them? I want to get mono color square tiles.
Hi thanks for watching i use a tile nippers to cut them. the tile nipper does and amazing job , if the edges are sharp u can use a fine file and file it down and you are good to go.
@@renovationschool8818 Just a little Pro tip, you can cut those mosaic in the package through your wet saw to get a straight edge on the perimeter all the way around... It sure beats cutting little pieces to fill the gaps ✔
Thanks for watching Professionals always do the walls first. Be aware if u do the floors first establishing the first row on the bottom of the walls will be difficult for DIY guys because u need to get perfect grout lines. Since shower floors are sloped you need to cut the bottom of every wall tile according to the slope ( only the bottom row will be hard to do) but let's say if you are not very skilled with tile work you can do the walls first and hide the bottom row cut imperfections with the floor tiles.
Excellent and thorough video! Thank you! How would you recommend tiling over a shower floor that is river rock, which obviously isn't a totally smooth surface like you have shown in your video?
Thanks for watching and the kind words. if u dont have any water and leaking issues , I would suggest washing the tiles super clean first and then when its bone dry, clean it with alcohol. Then apply the primmer that i used in the video. when primmer is dried up use modiffied thin set (that i showed in the video) and skim coat over the rock tiles till its smooth, making sure its slopped properly so when u tile over it the water goes to the drain. allow to dry up for a full day and then tile over it the same way i explained. basically build a layer of modified thinset on top of the rock tiles after the primmer is dried up and make sure its slopped properly before tilling over it.
@@renovationschool8818 Can I use modified thin set to improve the angle of drainage? My shower does not leak but water pools in one area away from the drain.
What if you have no water leaks or anything but in one corner the slope of slightly off where water will sit at. Can you use the mortar to raise the slope a little?
Do you have a video that shows retiling shower walls by just chipping away the old tiles? I would prefer not to rip out the entire walls back to the studs. Thanks!
I know this is a year old video but I figure I'll try. I have the same issue and want to tile over top. Only problem is the drain is a linear type that can't be adjusted up or down. Its a Schluter system so the drain has a flange that is under the schluter. Any ideas how to extend some kind of drain?
You won't be able to unfortunately. I know what exact type of drain you have . This will not work in your case. You have to redo the whole shower base.
Can you remove the walls and replace with new backer board and new tile, but do this tile over on the shower pan. We have no leakage but don't want to demo the pan and have to make a new one. I'm a DIY newbe to shower remodels.

I always lightly grind the tile first. Gives you a much better surface to bond to.
the black stone was rough and i used the primmer on it.
using a grinder for shinny stone tiles is a great idea 👍
I've alway grind them too. I wonder if that's still needed if I use this primer
