Thank you so much for making this video!! I've watched this video about 10-15 times and now I feel enough confidence to try the job myself!! I really appreciate your detailed explanations and showing every part of the process.
THANK YOU! I think you've saved me from starting a complete bathroom remodel a year or two early. I'm happy to find a suitable fix until I'm ready to start The total makeover.
Removal of old tile mortar is required for a good job. I put the removed tiles in a bucket and add full strength muriatic pool acid. It dissolves the old mortar and cleans old tiles nicely. DO THIS OUTDOORS with the necessary protection.
As always, very helpful. I haven't done a bathroom in 55 years, or even had one done for me in over 25, so hearing about current codes was interesting (we're planning to have a retirement home built for us in the next year or 2, and I'm paying more attention to construction and home repair videos these days). I found out about those little silicone caulk tools, like the ones you were using at the end, from the Gosforth Handyman, and I suddenly went from hating the stuff, to being able to use it without making a mess.
Great video. That 100% silicone white caulk is excellent but much harder to work with than regular caulk. I had to use latex gloves and in about 10 seconds you can no longer smooth it out, it dries quickly.
Same here! I haven't used my shower in almost a year and have been using the kid's bathroom to shower. Got 2 quotes and they wanted to redo the whole shower/tub/tile for 6,000.00. My patch is smaller than in this video. I'm a single mom and this made me breathe a huge sigh of relief. Going to attempt it myself!
A perfect example of why any ceramic/tile etc. job needs to be done by a professional and with the correct materials the first time around. Why? Visit any old home or building from the 1960's or earlier and you will note that the majority of those jobs remain intact to this day and the materials used were correct. The tile person was an expert at his/her craft/trade and hand crafted custom cuts of title to fill in the odd shapes and joints that simply require hand cut materials. Most of the older tile jobs were first class only because of the person doing the work. These days, as Jeff mentioned more than once, builders and probably the city inspectors just don't care about the craftmanship of a good tradesman.
This is so helpful! I need to get some tile work done bc I'm having plumbing done in my shower and about 10 tiles will need to be cut out and then patched up. Now I know what the proper steps and materials are and I can make sure they're doing it right. Can you tell me what someone would charge for a job like this? The same size work as your video? I want to get a ballpark figure so I know I'm not being overcharged. Thank you!!
Mine had a soap dish with a handle. I want to do what you did and reuse the same tiles. While I'm in there, can you show the same type video BUT ADD a properly secured/anchored old person bar to hold getting in and out of the tub or shower? I love believing that doing this myself could save me $1000!
@@cindyt6909You have to remember you are also paying for their expertise, material costs, cost of their tools, and the convenience of not having to do it yourself. Sometimes it's worth it, sometimes it's not.
Great vid with great explanations about why something is done a certain way. Is there a reason to use the blue long thin spacers instead of the little white plus shaped ones? thank you
Ive been putting this job off for ages but you have given me the info and guidance to crack on. Music is a bit loud and to be honest not necessary. Your dialogue is sufficient. Great job. Thank you.
Awesome video! Your explanation of the important details for each step we're so calm & cool everyone should be able to understand. had to laugh at the comment about the idiots on t.v. trying to look cool, so true! your an awesome guy and very much appreciate your time and efforts, will be ordering from the places you recommend so you hopefully get something back! God bless you brother!
Some really bad bathroom mold and leak problems stat here, and they usually drip down tot he ceilings on lower floors, causing all sorts of water related leak problems.
Handy DIY tips. I have a slightly more complicated situation of this. The tiles that are falling off in my case are right under a shower panel and where water lines go through. Think regular drywall with a water resistant membrane was used (as it held for 50 years). Is there anything special I need to do for holes in a backing board and the board of the backing board with the drywall? Found it difficult to find cement board screws with Robertson heads (I'm in Canada and only found Ox Brand).
would it be worth getting an oscillating tool to cut out the wood board and replace with a new one? if all it does it stick to concrete as a backing would that matter? I would say no but its poking out not supporting like th ones you added. tryna learn more doin this partime rn with an older guy who can be hard lol
The second layer of drywall (the layer you screwed the wood planks into) is also rotted through for me. Should that layer be removed as well? Behind that is just insulation panels, so I'm not sure where to secure the supports
My hose 100 years old still original tiles in the shower try to fix the one wall but found tiles very brittle to remove to get inside shower? Any suggestions
How do you know mold didn’t spread under all tiles? I have an area that’s loose and mold coming through. I assumed they would have to remove entire shower and back wall and God knows what else. Ugh 😩 Thanks.
Woah, didn’t you need to put down some water proofing on the old boards next to the board that came with membrane? Seems like a critical piece of the puzzle was skipped?
whenever i see an american wooden house , i remember that fairy tail with the 3 little pigs and the house of straw , the house of wood , and the house of stone .
That would be why some homes have fiberglass crap one piece fixtures. No tile needed...Just a hammer, some crap nails and a case of caulking. No one likes them overall, they are noisy and hard to keep clean. Cheapo junk...for those who don't have any pride in workmanship etc.

It should give you up to 5 minutes of tooling time
Great video. This is going to be very helpful in repairing my shower.
Glad it was helpful!
I really liked this video because I have this same issue and you made is very easy for me to want to attempt this. TY

Looking at about a full day of work, they might charge $800 or more
@jeffostroff, for the exact same work you did, is about $800? That seems high for waterproofing and installing tiles. 😮

at the time the blue spacers were what I had there, I never had a reason to use the 1/16" spacers so I had none in stock.
Nice pratical repair. Doing the best you can to preserve and get a few more years out of that bathroom!
That's the plan!
Ive been putting this job off for ages but you have given me the info and guidance to crack on. Music is a bit loud and to be honest not necessary. Your dialogue is sufficient. Great job. Thank you.
We use mold resistant drywall, then redguard, then cement board, then redguard, then tile.
Yes, that is allowed because of RedGaurd. But I prefer Aquadefense because RedGuard has an awful stink to it.
@@jeffostroff It does stink, but man, that thinset really sticks to that redguard.
What if the insulation behind that backerboard is falling out? Could I use a can of spray foam or something to replace?
spray foam will expand too much. either get styrofoam or a sheet of insulation that matches the cavity depth.

Thank you! Cheers!
My hose 100 years old still original tiles in the shower try to fix the one wall but found tiles very brittle to remove to get inside shower? Any suggestions
Might be time for a full demo of the shower wall or maybe let a couple of tiles break and use thick 5 in 1 scraper tools to get behind the other tiles
Good job 👍
Thanks for the visit
NICE WORK !!!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Which adhesive did you use, Jeff?
To adhere the tiles I used Schluter AllSet tile mortar
How would you recommend I learn to do this so that I could offer this type of work as a business?
amazing video. Great content
Very helpful. Thanks
great video jeff
Thanks 👍
terrific!
Where can I find that kind of tile? Lowes doesn’t carry that particular size.
30 years old, no one has it I'm sure
Try searching Home Depot for Daltile 4x4 tile. It seems to match with this old tile.
Job looks good sir,
Thank you so much! I'm glad you think the job looks good!
Around minute 12 you put in a bunch of blue things and then removed them. What were they and what do they do?
Spacers to hold the position and create a specific distance between the tiles so it doesn't look crooked when it dries.
What is the average price to have this done?
This should be about $500
@ Thanks.
How do you know mold didn’t spread under all tiles? I have an area that’s loose and mold coming through. I assumed they would have to remove entire shower and back wall and God knows what else. Ugh 😩 Thanks.
If you lived in my city, I'd hire you without hesitation.

They should have put a moisture barrier behind the drywall
No builder ever does, I have never seen one in place. I usually attach refelectix durng remodels, which acts as a moisture barrier
Tiles fell off the secondary restroom 😩 looks like I’ll have to replace to side walls of the shower.
There’s mold and no mask?
Helpful, but oh the focusing...
To expensive. Looks like you had green board on the back wall
No the builder used drywall. I replaced it with code compliant DensShield Water resistant board
Too expensive? Go flop around in the river
That would be why some homes have fiberglass crap one piece fixtures. No tile needed...Just a hammer, some crap nails and a case of caulking. No one likes them overall, they are noisy and hard to keep clean. Cheapo junk...for those who don't have any pride in workmanship etc.
Am I the only one seeing the crooked tile line?
I would see that as a message from the shower gods that it was time to upgrade whole bathroom.
Welp, time to tell my landlord before I make it worse!
😂
