$6,500 Bathroom Remodel Step By Step | How To Do It Yourself | THE HANDYMAN |

Always interesting to renovate and remodel older homes. Took out the tile in a shower in a 1950's era home. The ceramic soap tray that was set in the wall had news paper packed behind it. Was able to see when it was printed and had some cartoons making fun of the USSR leadership as well as advertisements for the area. One thing I have started doing for any toilet or vanity replacement I do is automatically replace shutoffs and supply lines. Too often I have had one or both fail on me in trying to save the customer a buck. Piece of mind knowing those two items are new and its in good shape.

[@clintonbubb3187]

The fact that the newspaper was still intact and and not absorbed any moisture means that the original tiler know how to waterproof!

All the whistling killed me. Lol

[@NickCranford]

Work on my grandfather's old house continues, and this is great inspiration. The next major interior job is a bathroom remodel. It's a house from 1962, 3 bed 1 bath. The bathroom is small so I want to expand it a bit by taking out the oversized closet that's in there. The bathroom has some old octagonal tile I'd like to save and reuse, buttttt we got sub floor issues from years of a leaky bathtub my grandad never did anything about, so I gotta chunk it all up and replace the flooring. I'm not looking forward to it lol,

[@digiprez77]

I just had to tear out an old subfloor and it came out in splinters... Took a whole day. There were about 500 nails sunk into it.

[@dizastro5437]

We just did our master bath. Mostly. New, larger shower. Love it. New captains chair, new floor, new granite counters on the two-sink vanity, as well as around the garden tub, sinks were replaced with undermounts. Replaced big mirror with vanity style framed mirrors, and gone are the dressing-room banks of globe bulbs. Floors were redone in vinyl plank.

[@gkkent]

This series is awesome! Your explanation of the why you do the things you do and the order of operations is a winner!!

[@rickschiaffo618]

As a retired lighting /cameraman, good to see your approach to soft lighting. Most KZbinrs suck at getting light on whatever their shooting. 👍

[@AbbreviatedReviews]

I don't know if I missed it, but what did you put down over the sheet vinyl floor? I assume you don't really have to worry about water resistance with the vinyl staying down.

[@BJT_89]

You are literally standing in my bathroom. It’s almost identical to this lol. Thanks for the great content!!

[@Gunbu]

As a newbie DIY guy, I would have assumed that the old linoleum would have to be torn out. Even if it and the subfloor are still in good shape. Good to see that it can stay in place and help get the new tile to the correct height. Looking forward to the rest of the videos for the project.

[@rocknu55]

Couple of things here. The Linoleum is probably bonded directly to the subfloor with an adhesive and peeling the linoleum off and cleaning the adhesive can be a nightmare. Also leaving the linoleum on actually acts as a type of slip sheet (crack isolation membrane). So as long as its installed properly it's typically beneficial to leave it.

[@jeremeyellis16]

You can leave it to go faster, but I remove it in my house and for anyone else who might be concerned about mold under the flooring.

[@MrYogitron92]

Honestly if the floor feels solid I'd leave it. It felt soft and spongy I'd definitely rip it all up.

[@Tyscrat]

youre really not even doing much of a gut without pulling the floor up to see the condition of the subfloor, but good luck half assing everything

[@BK-pc6ov]

And you always thinset your cement board to the subfloor, never just screws

[@csimet]

Agree 100%... if you are handy, you can save a ton of $ doing it yourself. Contractors will tell you everything needs to be replaced to try and up-sell the job. Total cost for my job... perhaps $800. The new tile was the most expensive part. I'm in the middle of revamping my 1/2 bath as part of a family room re-do. New T&G ceiling, new tile floor and all new trim & paint. I had to break up and remove the old tile (crappy grout job). The toilet, sink and cabinet were in great shape, cleaned up well and will be re-used. I just spent perhaps 3 hours total repainting the cabinet to make it like new. Tip... as long as the toilet is yanked, pull everything out of it inside, clean and rebuild it from scratch with all new plumbing parts. It will be just like a new one. Replace your water shutoffs as well, as long as everything is easily accessed (ball valves of course).

[@digiprez77]

Yeah I did everything but the bathtub and surround for about $1000... I had to completely reassemble the vanity I bought, it looked like a drunk 4th grader with a staple gun had built it.

[@radugabriel7987]

its nice to watch and most of us think they can do it. the thing is he's getting paid for his years of exp not for how easy he makes it look. Only his tools altogather cost more than your car :) but it's so nice to watch him work , rly.

[@KingHarry1]

14:30 Bathrooms are as straight as a broken what? 😂 I’ve never heard that one before but I’m taking it with me to work! Lol

[@TheHandyman1]

Tune in tonight to the livestream

[@wisconsinwoodsman1987]

Do you have a video showing the 1/4 turn ball valve replacement of the old style water valve?

[@jeffrx]

I always seem to run into problems. My house in 1959 though. I admire you for wearing the Rolex while doing real work. I have one and I baby it.

[@lawrencewebb3659]

I may catch flack for this but even at 33 I very much so recommend wearing knee pads anytime you are on the floor. doing this stuff plus liking to go on a run once in a while vs elliptical/bike my knees are starting to feel tired

[@elmerkilred159]

What about replacing the tub/shower? Aren't you supposed to do a complete remod so all of the plumbing ages at the same time? (I'm just interested in which wall you would be ripping out to get it out and a new one in. And, what window or exterior wall you would have to open up).

[@neanderthalradiopodcast]

The thumbnail looks like a “local handyman CAUGHT” news story

[@AlyssaRox0utloud]

The "yummay" when you took the sink out 😂😂 Great video!

[@b.powell3480]

That's why I have a small bucket for the sink drain!

[@mikemazzoli1990]

Finally saw your live stream! I always miss them, I just happened to be on KZbin and your LIVE popped up on my feed, I enjoyed it for over an hour and will make a better effort to not miss the next one! Great stuff and I knew you were my kinda people! 👌🚲🐷🔫💰

[@Aepek]

16:15 man I’d watch an hour long of your videos, heck, even 2 hrs at one go! Way better content than what’s on actual tv, seriously 👍🏻 Cheers and hope make it to the stream, as always a “hoot”!😂 ✌🏻

[@diyyangSG]

Nice inspiring video. Always look easy and motivate me when I watch your video🤣. Hopefully I am brave enough to do such a big project like you one day

[@fmradio42]

Your next job. movie director. what is that carpet protection film called? first thing I do if working on a bathroom Is asked to see where the main water shut off is in case water line break.

[@MyDIYAdventures]

Have fun at the livestream! I’ve gotta go to bed

[@spirogovas8722]

Why do people insist on keeping the old toilet when they remodel? $200 for a new one out of a $6500 budget isn't going to break the bank.

[@dannyfigueroa8092]

I mean... it is when this guy is charging $6500 for new tile, vanity and paint but leaving the tub lololol.

[@zacprunty]

It clearly holds sentimental value.

[@blakespower]

super clean bathroom no spider webs under the sink

[@BamaBreeze]

Handy getting real with the language! That’s how it is in the Handyworld,

[@Whydidthischange]

Why did you leave the vinyl under the new floor? Some guy in the future is gonna make a video of him removing it and complaining lol

[@ithacacomments4811]

My husband put a wrench right through the toilet once when removing those rusty floor bolts! Plan B ....new toilet.

[@davejohnson258]

So as this is a great video and yes you can save money, but lets not forget you need to pull permits for the work your doing, if you are caught doing work without per.its you can face some hefty fines, and if you flood or burn your house down because you didnt do something correctly without a permit, your homeowners insurance will not cover it

[@RubRubTuggington]

😂😂😂

[@truckingwithtobee]

I’m remodeling a master bath twice the size of yours. Contractor is doing work $9000 all in. $6500 is way too much hot a DIY

[@Dayinthelifeofawiener]

Great tip for laying out the tile, I do the same.. do you use any glue under your backer when you install over old floor?

[@dougmartes]

he should thinset under the CPU backerboard

[@tonycassidy4112]

best handyman in the entire world 😁👍

[@boltup5566]

Will you remove the tub and shower tile? Other videos gloss this over. I'm sure its not as easy as it looks.

[@joebinion1]

The one toilet bolt looked like the tub side so probably water splashed from getting in and out of the tub,just an observation,GOD BLESS

[@Futuristicalien25]

You didn’t check for floor level?

[@TheOriginalMrB]

What do you do if the floor around the toilet needs repair/replaced? How do you make up the difference between the old floor with linoleum and the patch without?

[@TheHandyman1]

Cut it all out and replace it. Build it up with what is necessary to get the right height.

[@chuckmeister6518]

Hi Handyman - every worry about banging up that watch?

[@Kanesgarage]

Are you redoing the bathtub and shower as well?

[@billmalcolm4291]

What is it you’re doing starting at 11:14? Is that a new sub flooring? New floor?

[@MrYogitron92]

@ The handyman in the beginning of the video I noticed you taking nuts off with pliers. I suggest getting ratcheting wrenches from Lowes. They come in handy. Sometimes they're on special for $49.99 for 20 pieces that come with both metric and SAE sizes. Anyway hope that helps.

[@csbens4413]

What did you use under the floor tile?

[@jmcguire56]

That's an interesting tile. Does a tile like that make it easier or harder to install?

[@KableGuyCGY]

What a dream job! Looking forward to the live stream!!

[@DelusionalBrownsFan_96]

Do you always prefer backer board to ditra underlayment? Is it solely the cost aspect?

[@BK-pc6ov]

I would only use ditra after I have at least ( 1 1/8" ) underlayment over your joists

[@donsavard6133]

Can you please provide a list of songs that you are whistling so that I can Enjoy a good whistle along with you.

Anyone know why he didn't just tile over the linoleum? Is that a bad thing to do? Glue/Grout won't stick well?

Ceramic tile grout would not stick to linoleum.

[@danielnickerson1762]

I've been in this business for 20 years and i do very well. My family wants for absolutely nothing and I'm not charging anywhere near what you are. I'm not knocking you by any means. I'm just wondering if I've been doing this all wrong my whole life. How are you landing jobs like this with a $6500 price tag? What area do you service?

[@TheHandyman1]

I service rich white liberals in a sanctuary city. If you are making less than $280,000 a year you would be considered low income here. This was a budget facelift type of job. You should watch my videos about business and money that are on my other channel. Its called The Handyman Business.

6500.00 for vanity, toilet, and floor tile i didn't see you remove tub, tub surround.

[@TheHandyman1]

That is correct. 50%of that is the materials. Vanity, tile, mirror....

[@victoiagilliad4995]

It seems like this customer is elderly and or gullible. I have a 40 sqft bathroom, thats being gutted except the ceiling that we are covering with tile. Labor is $1,000 and materials were $1,900 and a re-pipe of this 1,225sqft house is $1,500 labor.

[@victoiagilliad4995]

Im only a 22 year old woman and I'd never pay 3k for that small job. He only has to wait for grout to dry and cut tile lol. Alot of contractors that I interviewed told alot of lies and the more lies they told the less I was interested in their business which is how I found a reasonable licensed and insured contractor.

[@CalebGibbsAvenue]

Sounds good

[@marcoelmarter]

On this $6500 you supply all the materials.??

[@patrickozias5369]

Looks good but you should have did something with the shower. For 6500$ even if you put a cheap surround in.
