Small Bathroom Remodel - Time Lapse
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лют 2025
- I completely remodeled and updated my small bathroom from top to bottom and couldn't be happier with how it turned out. All pretty straight forward. All very doable. Take a look. If I can do it. You can do it.

It came out great! And I appreciate the fact that you didn't include shopping trips, cooking. facts about your kids or fourteen tons of 'decor'. Simple and to the point.
Haha
😀
Grout will not keep water from penetrating into the unwaterproofed cement board behind the tile . The cement board will get saturated with water in 6 months or less . The only way you could circumvent proper water proofing of the surface you set the tile on is if you caulked all of the grout joints and corners with a silicone based grout caulking , and you would have to maintain that every 2- 4 years ........for ....ever
Looks great. I would do one extra thing - make an inspection door for the back of the tub valve. I'm leery of using push fittings in enclosed walls.
now that its a year later, how is the tub holding up? I just had mine reglazed and am wondering if I should have just painted . Thanks and congrats on tackling such a project yourself!
Still going strong! I have an update video that I posted a couple months ago
looks nice but you should have stapled the electrical wiring that way when someone pulls the wiring, it won't break the connection from the receptacle. I would've installed stud guards as well since you have all the walls removed. Would've spent more for rockwool than fiberglass. better soundproofing and if it gets wet, the R value isn't compromised.
plumbing: sharkbites are fine but I wouldn't have put it behind the wall like that. at the very least, leave an access panel where those fittings are so you can quickly repair or check where the leak is if there ever was one.
lastly, you didn't waterproof the cement board in the shower. cement board is porous so it can soak up water and eventually cause a leak somewhere if water gets behind your tiles/grout. You needed to redgard the concrete board so that water doesn't seep into the cement board.
We just put in an offer on a house with a bathroom super similar to this… and i legit want to do everything you did lmao!! So hard to figure out the bathtub thing! But you make it look easy! ❤
Few things look off in your construction, but you are young and learning, plenty of time to master your craft. Good work.
Great video and looks superb!
Unfortunately you will be having moisture and mold behind the bath walls in a few months.
At least you can choose another design/color if you want.
Why?
You’re legend. Thanks for sharing this. For DIY that’s not bad at all. This type of videos motivates me to remodel mine
isnt there like a special type of drywall specifically for bathroom? looks like you used regular one and didnt use the special red sealant over it as well. also didnt see any vents in there which you should have added while everything was removed. wondering if moisture will be a problem in the future
Easy to watch and full of great tips like usual. I appreciate that you don’t take your knowledge for granted-I was able to grasp all these concepts because of it and I’m kind of a moron. Looks awesome too btw.
Always seeing remodels on already lovely rooms pop up on UA-cam, finally UA-cam recommends a legit remodel that's a HUGE improvement. The before and after is incredible
Great video! You may consider removing a portion of the toilet caulking. If/when your wax ring fails, you’d never know with it caulked and the water will damage your subfloor before you realize it. With at least the back portion left uncaulked, you’ll see the water seep out when the leak starts.
That’s a good idea 👍🏼
@ - does the wax ring fail often? I have had to deal with an improperly seated wax ring, but since the house was situated on a crawl, the error wasn't discovered for a long time, but the damages were easily fixable - lots of lyme.
@@SLynch007wax seal failed in a new build 3 years in...water was leaking from under the toilet...luckily the house was built on a slab foundation, but still a pain to clean up & disinfect...installed new double seals & reseated toilet...held until bathroom remodeling 15 years later.
I had that same sink , tub and toilet until a few years ago! Original to my 1956 house.
That was a beautiful job that you did,keep on with the good work
Just had my half bath redone. Almond fixtures, brown cabinets, beige floor, yellow wallpaper. Stripped out everything including the dry wall and subfloor. New insulation, cement subfloor, white fixtures, gray cabinets and gray and white marble floor. Blue walls. Did fancy molding and floorboards and cove molding in white. All new window too. Looks fantastic. So I really related to this video.
The work is so neat for cutting holes around fixtures. I wish I had this level of DIY skill.
Great video, but you forgot to install a waterproofing membrane on that cement board. In the future, I recommend either RedGuard, Aqua Defense, or use DenShield panels that have an integrated membrane.
You don't need that. He should have put plastic on the back though.
The bathroom looks great. Love the blue cabinet, with white countertop, and the silver handles, and faucet, and of course the rain head. Nice built in storage cabinet. I would add some kind of privacy film on the window, that lets light in but gives you privacy.
I ended up putting up a pull down shade from IKEA after I finished filming. I just didn’t have it yet which was why I didn’t add it in the video
Cool.
Looks great! I did a bathroom recently too and it took about 4 months. Looks like you got it done a lot faster than that.
The video is sped up and editing. He probably didn’t include all the f ups he did.
Fantastic Job. That bathroom looks amazing.
Very nice ,thanks for sharing this video
They sale cement board designated for walls my guy. Other than that don’t forget to strap your romex 12 inches from boxes and you did great brotha
Fantastic job, well done 😊
Love the content, bud. Don't be afraid to expand on what you're doing. You're setting up and filming, slow down and explain each step; I get the sense that you'd be great at explaining to your audience, many of whom are just starting down this road, myself included. And hell, you may teach some lifelongers a new trick along the way. I'd like to see you put together playlists on projects in detail. Good stuff!
Yes!
uhhh no, we are here to see a remodel ya dunce, not to learn how to remodel. Wow such an inconsiderate person
You make it look so easy! Unreal job. I tried watching other construction videos but yours make me gain confidence that I can do my own remodel!
I think you should have put in heating on your floors so nice in the winter.great Job .
just started on a master bath remodel in my home and love what you did here. We had to remove our 50 year old cast-iron tub because I wanted to do a full standup shower (being a big guy the tub doesn't really work) but definitely inspired and loved the vanity cabinet. Nice job.
You cemented over OSB plywood? Even the best modified polymer thin set won't stick to that. You should have put 1/4" cement board over it.
Looks great! Gave me lots of ideas.
Wow, that is quite the transformation! Really love the design element of the large subway tile! Your vanity turned out perfectly! Enjoy your new bathroom!
I don't understand the use of Sharkbite quick connect fittings inside walls. It's more expensive and less reliable than crimp fittings or expansion fittings.
Also, no waterproofing the shower walls? Cement board is not waterproof. It's "water resistant" and will keep its shape if it gets damp, but it can definitely let moisture through to the studs behind it.
You've got skills! Awesome job!
I followed because of this video!! 😊 GREAT JOB!! ☝🏾
Wow!! Exceptional craftsmanship!
I'm redoing my bathroom, and it'll be "okay," just the basics... nothing fancy.
But this? Glorious to watch and what an upgrade! Kudos.
FABULOUS!!!!! Just fabulous! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍
So amazing! This is a personal preference but I would've added 2 niches in the shower. There's no place to put shampoo, soap, etc
A spectacular looking renovation - Very nice!! Must admit that I was getting worried when I saw the Toilet and Vanity go in and there was still no baseboard along the walls haha
That bathroom looks amazing 😮😀🙂
Great job! We will soon be renovating our 1960s bathroom that looks similar. I'm definitely keeping the tiled bathroom and shower walls. The tile is in great shape and bounces the light to make the bathroom look light and bright. I find it really beautiful!
That old blue sink was really cool 😶🌫️
I would love to see the long term scratch resistance on that tub. I would have replaced it with as much as you had torn out.
So far it's held up really well. The coating feels very hard. I've accidently knocked some metal items against it and haven't had any scratching issues.
looks great, just not sure about the LVP in the bathroom. Always been a fan of tile in the restroom but I know that raises the cost and labor.
I like LVP because it doesn’t get as cold as tile and it’s easy to install
Did you waterproof the floor and around any taps?
Nice look!
Vapor barrier behind the cement board? Did you close up the joints between the cement board and the screws?
Wow that’s a good job
Great work!! I’m inspired for a baby reno of my upstairs bathroom. Feel free to pop into Maryland and work your magic! 😅
Enjoyable video and has a lot of good ideas. I was also impressed with the video quality and lighting. I am in the middle of filming the renovation of two bathrooms in a 123 year old house. Your time-lapse footage was fun to watch.
Thanks I appreciate it!
You made it look SO easy!!!
Wow, that looks so awesome. You did a fantastic job and it was a lot of work, but the end result is absolutely gorgeous.
Hello, great video! If you can share one on how to replace an under-sink with a table top/over sink, thank you!
Few questions as I know nothing about DIY. Behind your tub you have that concrete board stuff - I assume that stuff is waterproof? How do you waterproof between the gaps where the boards meet? Also something that I get hung up with DIY is how high do I know to set something? Like for a wall socket height? Or a shower head height. Is there a list of where people usually mount them? Lol. Or maybe its just something that is gained through experience.
That looks so much better. You added a lot of value to your home.
Amazing job , looks beautiful ....love how everything is to the point with no messing around , this is just what I'm looking for to take on a small bathroom in my home ....thanks so much ( have subscribed) 🇨🇦
Thanks and welcome aboard!
Love the look - that tub came out sooo good! Awesome job!
great job!!!
great job
That's amazing man. It would probably take me a whole year to complete lol
I love this bathroom. Great choice of colors. I’ll have to watch some of your other videos. I’m in the process of giving my 1980s pink bathroom a facelift. Eventually I will have to remove tile and flooring and the tub.
That is rely good how it turn out I like it but I want to know if you didn't do any soldering when you do the pluming for the shower ?
I just used shark bite connectors and Pex for the shower plumbing
Great makeover. What a dramatic difference. Guessing you didn’t add a ceiling fan because of the window. Would you recommend installing one anyway? Also could you have made the linen closet larger (longer). Could not tell what was below the existing shelves.
The linen closet stayed the same which is why I never really brought it up in the video. Fans in bathrooms are always better than no fans. I didn’t add on mainly because I didn’t remove the ceiling drywall and didn’t want to run the ducting and cut a hole in the house so I just stuck with the window
I usually use cement board on the floor under tile.
Looks awesome dude. Only thing I would have done was put a towel rack in the shower. Other than that is perfection
I can agree with you on that. If I could do it again I’d probably put in a shower niche and have a place to hang a towel that’s not the curtain rod
This is incredible, and uh, kinda mad at you for making it look so easy that for a moment I thought, “I could do this!” 😂
Just some code things I noticed, you should staple your romex to a stud within 12 inches of every box and 4.5 feet there after. Lastly I know shark bites are approved behind the wall but I would never trust them behind the wall personally. Also I always use clips on my tiles so there's no lippage I noticed you didn't...if you were able to tile the shower with no lipage with just spacers then well done. Most importantly you didnt use and water proofing methods...I would never tile a shower for a paying customer and not use water proofing ..just my .02 from a bathroom contractor.
Thank you for this input. I only understood the final point, about the waterproofing, and even I saw that this was missing in the bath/shower area, and I'm no expert! Then I went and looked up Romex and Sharkbites, so now have some extra useful building tips to file away. : )
Great to know!! Newby renovator here, for my own home. Can you tell me what kind of nails he used to hang the backer board? Or cement board? Or are they the same thing? Thanx much!!😊
@@debisettles4745 if using cement backer they should have specific screws in the same area of the store you get the backer board at. Depending on waterproofing method you can red guard backer board, or what I prefer is using Sheetrock with kerdi membrane. If using Sheetrock just use recommended Sheetrock screws, I then install a few schluter screws and washers over the membrane for extra security. Just make sure you water proof them too.
also used regular drywall instead of greenboard
He said he waterproofed it
I don't see you using any waterproofing materials for your build?.
I also have a blue rub ( that someone painted white). It's all blue now and I'm keeping it that way.!
All the power to you, I’ve seen people with great bathrooms and blue tubs!
My rental has a green tub and chipping white paint on the outside and in my sink, with it being a rental I want to clean the chipped paint up and do something cheaper yet efficient until we buy any suggestions!? And yes I have permission!
Wow, u did a great video. Don't if I'd go with a vanity that makes everything smaller to get through. Bc that's what I'm trying to fix rn in my own bathroom. But overall, it's beautiful!
No red guard or waterproofing? 😥
Amazing transformation! 😍Good job!!
Beautiful renovation
Nice looking bathroom! 👍🏼
Amazing work!
Great vid! although I wish you added the cost. I have a bathroom roughtly the same size that needs remodeled and I am always curious about the cost.
The cost was around $2600
Beautiful transformation 🎉
Fantastic projects and performance. Your uplifting attitude draws viewers' attention. Keep up the good work.
About the washroom renovation (pardon my ignorance), I wonder why didn't you use any sort of a vapor barrier underneath the floor tiles (plastic sheath, or bitumen roll). It seems to me it would save your floor for much, much longer.
The tiles are water tight once put together so a waterproof layer isn’t required
@@BearMountainBuilds 100% FALSE!!! NO SUCH THING AS WATER TIGHT TILE! Come on man, this is the kind of stuff that others will see, replicate, and cry when the shower fails 6 months after. You are doing a disservice to those who will come after you. To those watching, look up "shower fail" videos so you understand why what he did here is wrong.
Great video. Next shower think about putting a shower head with a separate shower wand. The cost is 3 times the amount, but for resell or easier shower it is so worth the price.
How funny I found your videos. We have the same awful blue tub, toilet, and sink. It’s time to be white! We have the toilet, and will soon find a vanity. I’m trying to convince my son-in-law to paint the tub. 😂 What a great tutorial for both things. Thanks for sharing. 😊
Truly NIGHT & DAY difference. Fantastic Job. 🌅
How long did it take you from beginning to end and how many hours a day did you work on it,?
Does the paint last long? My fear is that long term if will chip away and see a big difference.
Still going strong!
Wow!!.....thank you ....great video...forever Rock & Roll.
My client wants this done in 2 of her bathrooms with matching colors and accents. Just started today.
Wish i could post the before now and then the finished product./:
I’d love to see the before and after pictures feel free to reach out on instagram
Looks nice and fresh, one thing that I don't get about bathroom renovations and not just you but anyone who does this is why is there only an over head shower and no hose? I don't get it.
Hi there don’t you need to tape the shower first before your tile ?
Can you teach me? I am having a hell of a time trying to find good workers trying to fix my properties and they end up messing up my houses and I have to keep starting over again and paying money for more materials
Id love todo this to my bathroom but I only have a 1 bathroom in a condo. Makes it difficult to take on
Questions below!
Thanks so much for sharing. I'm excited to see all of your videos. So many topics we love.
I like your design much better than anything else I have found in other videos. I like to build but I'm not great at math.
Question: what would the calculations be for this cupboard if I have 2 sinks and 70 inches long?
It's really hard for me to figure out this style but longer. Thanks if you have any advice!
I'm thinking 2 doors and drawers down the middle.
Thanks glad you like my videos! I’m not exactly sure what you’re asking. That vanity would be 30” longer than my 40” wide vanity. You could make the drawer and drawers what ever size you want. You can make all three equal widths. They’d be about 23” wide
Nice job. I enjoyed watching every minute of this.
Does the paint chip on the painted tub after used? Thank you.
I haven’t had any issues with chipping paint.
How come you didn't fully replace the wood in the shower area? You can see the wood twist when you screwed in the side pieces. It definitely has lost a lot of its structural integrity. Thank you for actually replacing the insulation. Can't leave that old stuff in there. Was any of the piping cast iron? Not sure what your code is where that house is, but I'd replace that too if any is.
I didn’t notice any major issues with structural integrity which is why I didn’t replace anything
I can not believe how easy you could pull everything out!
In Egypt, that is a real labor.
can't water get below or between the vinyl floor planks? it trap water and become smelly.
Verry good job man !! next week I'm starting renovation in my bathroom that's help a lot ideas
great work! great look! how much did you spent for the materials? and how much will coast for the materials and labor? thanks a lot
I spent about $2600. I’d assume if you had someone do it for you I’d charge $6000-$7000
Some people come here to learn and others come to critique someone else's work. I have learned there are just some jobs I know I need a sub for 😂
What a skill you have! Sooooooooo impressive!
You are amazing, I wish I have you To fix my little apartment, I learned a lot from you. Thank you so much. Good luck you is everything.❤
I have a question. How did that paint hold up for the tub? I have done the epoxy several times but I am interested in the paint
It’s still going strong! Haven’t had any issues
Good looking bathroom, great overview!
