- I show how to tile a bathroom floor. This is part of my small bathroom remodel project and floor tiling is one of the biggest bang for your buck DIY projects you can do in a bathroom. It totally changes the look and feel and in a small bath like mine, installing large format tiles really makes the room feel bigger. #bathroom #remodel #tiling sponsored by ridgid

Those floor levelers you use are literally the BEST way to pull or push your tiles to have a perfect level floor. Love the floor Brad.
Thank you, guys!
A textbook example of how to produce a DIY video. Well done!
As a professional tile installer I must say you did an awesome job explaining things and actually doing it correctly. Would have done a few things different but over all great video! Keep it up!
I'm a little amazed 😀. Was waiting to get kit up for something I did wrong 😂😂😂
@@Fixthisbuildthatonly thing I saw was speading of the thinset but that just takes time to get used to. Again great work!
Only thing I would change is adding more water to the mortar, both on the ditra(subfloor sucks up a lot of moisture) and the floor install(easier to work with).
I don't know what grout was used , but that was too dry to me. I wonder if it didn't crack. Dark thinset for light-white tile ? hmm. Yeah that mortar was dry for sure. Overall clean job.
Thanks so much for the great video! Your clear description makes me think I could do this myself. And thanks for NOT adding loud, head-banging music while you're talking and when you're not ... not sure why people who do tutorials think they need music to fill the background. If I want to go to a rock concert, I don't click on a home improvement video!
Im remodeling my old tiny bathroom by myself and it's my first time ever taking on any construction project. Your video was not only helpful but super motivating!!! Thank you so much!!
Hey! How did the remodel go? Just about to start my first tiny bathroom remodel myself and would love any tips or advice you have!
Thanks Mate. I have a small home improvement business and tiling is the last thing that intimidates met. I like things done right so I am pleased and so is the homeowner. As you note, tile is one of those easy DIY projects that delivers the most bang for your buck. But if it goes sideways, yuck! I found your video very helpful! Really like how you planned the layout, numbered the tiles, and then set your door tiles first! Brilliant. Thanks for the great tips!
🤣 I wish I had this video 2 years ago when I incorrectly laid tile with other videos as guidance! Great job man! Very well done and explained!
That's wonderful machine. I envy you. Also i want to take your machines. Haha. Just joke. Good machine. My country of tile's machine developments speed is not good. And most of old tilers are fraid of development. Because when they learnded and studied from the tile skill of the older than tile's master, they were hit from the master. So they are fraid of change, challenge, and own position shaking. You are a good tile master. I also tile engineer. I have worked for 8 years. I appreciate to you. I am archtecture in Republic of Korea the first grade that pubilish my country. By the way i was wood maker for 2 years. Last i learned from tile master skill of the best of best in Pohang city ( now i live in city). Finally glad to see your youtuve channel. Good study to me. I own my youtube channel that homemaker. Thanks. God Bless you.
This is an excellent tutorial video- thorough yet to-the-point, and the work is done carefully and without cutting corners. I'll be updating the flooring in my basement and the adjoining bathroom so this is super helpful! Thanks so much for sharing!
Really appreciate this video. Just bought a house where the previous owner thought he was a handy man but more of a handy don't. My bathrooms have three layers, vinyl, tile, and another layer of tile. Going to try this out on the basement bathroom first before tackling the three layer bathrooms.
Nice work, just on tile floor grout i'm a fan of a darker colour because in time that's going to not look dirty as white gets.
Good Vid. The white color grout made the tiles seem seamless. I was impressed with that and will keep this in mind for future jobs. Thanks
To avoid stubborn grout haze, wipe the haze 1-2 hours after grouting, that way the grout is hard enough that you won’t cause any damage and the haze comes off really easily.
This man obviously has experience in this trade
@@definitelynotivan34all tips are welcome. Experience doesn't mean you know everything.
Best tile job ever! Two Thumbs up!!
Omgosh the spacer things are amazing makes me want to tile our floor just to try them finish bathroom looks so nice . Love the fact you say if you had to do it again, all the bits you would do differently. Take care 😉
Perfect. I was debating using 12x24 tiles in a small bathroom and this video sealed the deal for me.
I plan on doing a lot of work to my house starting at the beginning of the year. Really appreciated this video! It makes tile seem much less intimidating.
Tiles look awesome to do.
Spin doctor's are a life saver! I've been installing 48" porcelain with 9' ceilings! Whooey! My chiropractor always straighten me out.
I'm literally right in the middle of my bathroom remodel. I'm having to move plumbing around a bit and expanding the room but this is going to come in handy when tiling comes. Thanks man!
Good luck with the reno!
Thank you, making me feel confident to tackle my bathroom tile
Great Video. Though, it's my understanding that it is highly recommended to dampen the subfloor with a sponge, before applying thin-set-mortar, to prevent the moisture from being sucked out of the mortar before it dries..
That's brilliant, great tip! 👍
Probably the best fundamentals video for small bathroom tiling on the web. Subscribed.
Thanks for the sub 👍 👍
Great video Brad! You made laying the tiles look easy ( I know its not). I do like the tips you added to assist with remodels like this. Thanks again for posting!
I totally agree. 👍
Marrissa
Thanks!
Appreciate the Super Thanks!
Wow Brad! That floor is gorgeous! Nice work!
Thank you!
Thanks!
good to see the ditrimatt on the original floor still holding up and doing its job
Love that this is a quick, packed full of information, video. Hoping you have done one with the other parts of the bathroom.Thanks very much
Hey Brad, Thank You for these DIY’s on flooring❤. I forwarded your tutorials to my hubby for my honey to do list or when he finds his round to it. Lol 😅 we have a lot to do. We have a 5bed, 3 bath that is back to the past 1970’s so no explanation needed. Our kitchen drawers are falling apart and can seem overwhelming at times. Your tutorials are clear and easy to understand and to follow. God bless.
Thank you, Brad, for this helpful instructional video. I appreciate the candid advice and practical tips you sprinkle throughout the recap of your own successful DIY project. The pace is just right for a step-by-step tutorial video, and your self-effacing presentation style makes it a pleasure to watch. Your video is a nice complement to the Schluter-System North America company's own product information and how-to videos, which are also published on UA-cam.
This is a good video. The camera was held steady and I like the detail that you can lay tile on top of schluter that you just installed. Please always use eye protection when cutting tile. You are modeling for beginners.
Thank you for the video!! This is definitely going to help me! I was also trying to remember what the orange floor stuff was! I knew it was Ditra but couldn't for the life of me remember the name! Thank you so much!!!
Wow, I'm impressed, i am doing this very soon! Excited
Great Video Brother. You really helped us out. Keep up the good work.
Hey mister...really like the way you’re confidence comes across in you’re public speaking. Pretty cool how you didn’t over emphasize the way you work and industry standards. Great vid, it’ll help lots of people.
Just got started with my FIRST time owning a home totally gonna use alot of the information I learn here!!!!!!
Good for you! It's fun, puttering around your very own place and making things YOURS!
Professional craftsmanship and Professional presentation.

Fix This Build That pre marking your layout was. A great idea 💡 because when you get going w the tile it’s ez too mix it up 👍🏻👍🏻
Hello i just subscribe why didn't i find this early in life
@@giovannapena5635 thanks for the sub!
@@Fixthisbuildthat your welcome i find these very interesting and very helpful in the future
Very delightful to watch. It helps that you have all the cutting and drilling tools needed to do such amazing work.
Great video Brad. Just in time....I have 300 sqft to put down and I definitely gabbed some helping tips.
Those Ridgid tools are the bomb. Have fun with it 💪💪
The mortar should be combed in straight lines
Amazing video, the light grout really made the tiles look seemless!
"They didn't install it correctly......It shouldn't come up this easy"
I've heard this on a couple of videos I've watched about remodeling. To me they are installed perfectly!
They are currently holding just the way they should but if you want to tear it up, it comes up easily.
Sounds like a win, win to me.
Hahaha, good point. I definitely liked it 😀
Big Mike is talking Fair enough. haha
I'm thinking the same thing. Things around the house should be easy to remove and replace instead of having to tear it all down and demolish it.
builders never think about the future where someone will want to change things, good luck future tiler getting that floor up
A no nonsense,straight to the point video. Excellent.
Great job ! Look`s really good. The spacers did 20% of the work(i love them!) Keep up the good work !
Thanks soo much for this video. we will be re doing our bathroom ourselves. will be our first time. this video helps BIG TIME.
Hi, thank you for the great video, I have a question for you, how did you create the 1 degree slope required for the wet areas?
I need to double check, but, I thought Ditre was used with UNmodified thin set. This video was awesome and the small bathroom was pretty much identical to mine. Love those tile spacers and will get those at HD if they still have them in 2023.
Looks fantastic Brad!
thanks! Wait until you see the whole room!
Hi I'god
Since my husband is an electrician, he typically does the remodel and repair work around our home. But I want to begin projects myself and learn how to do more advanced remodel work...instead of just painting stuff and laying trim. Our home has a couple of bathrooms that need re-tiled and I would love to be able to complete these projects myself!!
Good job! I hate gluing tiles after I’ve glued most of my entire apartment with tiles.
hahaha, I bet! I was sick of it after this small bathroom
Saving me a fortune AGAIN Brad! Thanks for another excellent video.
That was helpful, Ive never done floor tile before and didn't know you were supposed to butter them. Thx.
You don't have to on square tiles but on larger rectangular ones it is helpful because it's harder to get the mortar even across the larger plane and buttering them gives you more error room when setting them to be level.
How to tile a small bathroom using 10k worth set of tools
@Millennium Man And if you're just doing a relatively small job a $100 tile saw will get you through several of those. Way better than scoring and breaking imo.
@@GardenofWar2 Thanks for the info.
great video.... really made me think i could tile a bathroom or laundry room. thanks.
Thank you for all the info on product to help make tiling easier. My husband and I are DIYing our bath with the exact tile you used so we are running down to our local HDstore to get some of the amazing levelers for the tile before we thinset. Thank you again.
Man looks impeccable! From the laying of the tiles to the editing of the video, amazing job.
Thank you...Great job👍
this video its really helpful for me.💖 As i am now on the process of building my dream house.
Excellent job to look at. I have to do 4 large bathroom. It will not be easy but I will try it anyway.
That bathroom looks brighter than any celeb teeth I've seen, nice work
Thanks for guiding us through the many pitfalls with residential tiling 🍻
Thanks for the tip on using SketchUp for planning your tile layout. I’m doing a herringbone pattern in an non-symmetrical bathroom and this saved me a ton of time in planning!
Great video! I know a company that produces screw caps and tiles levelling system and it is a great product
hello, im about to tile. thanks for the content.
Awesome video. I will have to watch your videos to complete couple projects for my new home.
Hello I just got a labouring job renovating bathrooms I start in a few days thanks for the tips
I like this, very professional and fast enough to keep our attention, and slow enough to know whats going on.. great video.. I subscribed thanks
it was amazing, even my hired men can't do work like this. loved it man.
Proud new home owner here and my first project is my half bath down stairs. This video really helped. Thanks for the tips! Subbed!
Thank you, I’m a registered nurse who now want to change careers 😆
Great job. Congrats
The 910 dislikes are ignorant “so called subcontractors”. 😂😂😂
Great work!! 😁👍🏽
Your video's are very informative and have a lot of info for amateur like myself.
Thanks!
You made it look easy and the floor looks great!
Hey brad, thank you, im using this exact product for the first time, not a pro but im turning into one, thank you
Second video ive watched on this kind of thing, a few things i noticed that werent done:
- The pattern of the mortar on the floor looks correct, but it was not mentioned how important that is and which way the ridges need to go. This very important point could easily be missed by someone watching this as a guide
- Back buttering was done (6:13), but blink and you miss it. Again this was not explained and an easily missed step by someone watching this as a guide
- Actively working the grout in to the gaps between the tiles and not just floating it over and hoping for the best there are no gaps under the surface
Loved watching the entire video great job 🎉
That tile looks absolutely awesome! Love the tips in there and it makes the whole process seem much more achievable. Will definitely keep in mind when we inevitably redo one of our bathrooms.
This whole process looks therapeutic.
Looking good Brad!
thanks, Jonathan!
Hello my name is really what is yours
V
THANK YOU FOR THIS AMMMMAAAZING VIDEO!!!!! One of few videos that actually show the process and the products
I think I subbed after your ''Wireless charging desk' video and I'm glad I did ! Super interesting !
Same here!
May be time for another desk video, Brad.
@@h4mmy753 I actually have one coming soon 😂😂😂
Fix This Build That Sweet! Can’t wait.
Same with me
Really appreciate this. I watch a lot of your videos. Learning a lot, thank you
Try a suction cup to back butter and lay the big tile you might find that a more convenient way to go plus helps avoid mortar transfer
Always enjoy the great spirit of your uploads
Awesome, thanks will be watching again got a bathroom remodeling coming up at the end of the year lol
Great 👍🏻 video great job thanks helps me to do my first tile work Att my sister house blessings and thanks again
Subscribed! That Sketchup trick was real slick. I have used Solidworks in the past for laying out garage apartment that I built a few years ago. The only issue with Solidworks is that you have to make sure EVERYTHING has a dimension or constraint. Sketchup looks to be much much easier for projects like these. Great work!
Painters tape along the tub base and door thresholds/ casings. Helps
I don't know anything about building or remodeling, but your video makes me want to learn how to do everything you did. It looks great!
Thanks, mom!
Very nice work!! Thank you for sharing with us all those great tips! Peace and good fortune!!!
Perfect instructions for begginers 🤙🏻 keep up mate lots of love for what u doing
Far from perfect, no explaination of the mortar ridge direction and how important it is for example
nice job!!!!! would like to know more about the level max system
even though it was 9 mins it was very succinct & and no excess talking, thank you
Nice video
Best tile video around.
Awesome video and the tempo is good. Showed all the steps but quickly good job
Tile spacers are the new Bubble wrap 😄👌
64 folks had a reason to dislike this awesome vid. Note to self: DO YOU; you'll never please everybody.
Absolutely!
Nice video. Looks like a fun project. I'll be doing that just as soon as I finish replacing all the door and window casings in the house.
Nice job!! Looks GREAT!👍👍👍
I wish I had seen the Rigid leveling product 4 days ago!
I JUST installed 12 X 24 tiles in my parents bathroom. Turned out OK, but not as nice and even as your project.
Live & learn.
I learned!
Thanks,
TII
Beautiful work. I love that white tile
You’re the man!!!!
Laughed when I realized we used you for our laminate install as well. You had me at sketchup.
