Complete Guest Bathroom Remodel DIY | Start to Finish Tub to Shower Conversion

Wish I had the patience to even attempt something like this myself..lol. I got my guy coming next week to remodel my guest bath. Same exact layout as yours. I’m converting from tub to walk-in, but not changing floors or vanity. Instead he will regrout the floor and tile all the way around to the edge of the vanity mirror and then same on the other side to the edge of the closet door. Charging me $6k including all construction materials. I bought the tiles, shower door and fixtures.

Thank you for sharing My wife and I have been thinking about remodeling our bathroom. I do not lay tile but I can do everything but. Just leave the surfaces ready for the tile installer. Those shelves in the wall are quite useful and I will probably do a couple.. Better than have anything sticking out.

Bathrooms are great small areas to practice laying tile yourself. Defintely something worth learning and trying to do yourself if you feel comfortable doing it. Let me know if you have questions and I'll be happy to help.

Great way to save a ton of money by DIY. Pro tip on sink/vanity: Do all plumbing work before setting sink into place. Makes installing much easier.

[@Daddicated]

Yeah, that’s a great tip. Thanks

[@kooolaid79]

Beautiful Sir! I have a question though. While you had demolished your older tub and toilet, what happened to the water for the rest of the house? How did you continue using other valves while everything was open in the bathroom you constructed? Thanks

[@Daddicated]

So when I was demolishing everything I didn’t touch my valves until I was ready to replace them. The valves were always in closed position so I didn’t need to worry about turning the water off. Once I was at the point of replace the valve, I turned off the water supply, replaced the valve, and then turned it back on with keeping the new valve in closed position.

[@myrnacruz1179]

[@S0ul5Hun73r]

props for the trying to do it all yourself... few notes ( take it with a grain of salt as its too late to do anything now) uncoupling membrane between the tile and the concrete would prevent your tiles from cracking in a couple of years.

[@Daddicated]

Thanks for the tip.

[@khoaly7146]

1 thing I'd say that is important when you're redoing your bathroom. Change all the valves to prevent leaks since you're already in the process. I work in restoration and the most common claims come from busted valves. The last thing you want is to have a updated bathroom and go through it again because of water damage. I want to point something that will make your life easier, not saying what he did was wrong. Connect the sink faucet to the top beforehand to save yourself from trying to do it in tight space.

[@Daddicated]

I agree with the valve replacement it’s fairly inexpensive to do it. But your time about the hose connections are genius. Thanks for sharing.

[@mmorlino]

We purchased a 12 unit apartment complex and are slowly remodeling all of them. Changing out the stop valves (toilet, sinks, dishwasher, fridge) is absolutely something we always do. The units are 20 years old and it costs about $45 per apartment to replace all of these (convert from multi turn to 1/4 turn). It doesn't matter if they need it or not... It's just nice to have them done!

[@Daddicated]

Thank you. I worked for my dad doing tile for 5 years. Plus learned a lot from watching him do remodels around the house. Plus learned from other youtubers. At the end of the day, you just have to not be afraid of trying doing it yourself.

[@beverlyfraser4080]

Beautiful job! Now I know that this is beyond my DIY skill level.

[@Daddicated]

It’s beyond my skill level as well but I still like to try new things. I’ll screw up and make mistakes but in the end I’ll gain experience and learn something. So don’t be afraid to always challenge yourself and try. Basically learn as you go.

[@qwashington89]

It turned out really nice. I think the light fixture and glass door were my faves. I'm also a little concerned as to why you didn't use a pan liner, especially since you built your wallboard into your pan. If your shower was to leak, you're already 2 for 3. Your only defense you have right now is the waterproof membrane. It was really good work tho, I bought an acrylic pan because the thought of laying a pan was too much for me. I'd watch your shower tho. Apparently you can buy a tool (think infrared) that can show leaks, I saw a home inspector use it

[@Daddicated]

Thanks for the suggestion. Yeah that was rookie mistake.

[@earlj3638]

Great video, and thanks for documenting your process! I know you stated here that it took you a few months to complete, but in terms of actual working days, about how many would you say it took? I'm planning to be out on vacation for a few weeks, and I'm contemplating if I could complete this if I worked for 7 days straight, assuming I have all necessary materials and tools on hand. What do you think?

[@Daddicated]

It really depends how fast you work and how many hours you put into it. I mean it’s a lot to complete in 7 days. Here’s my breakdown: Day 1: demo shower wall, floor, remove toilet, remove vanity Day 2: shower valve/plumbing if your replacing it. Install shower floor liner, install Durock board Day 3: install shower wall tile Day 4: install shower floor tile Day 5: finish tile/ grout everything Day 6: install toilet, vanity, faucets, drain Day 7: paint and touch ups. This is a rough plan and honestly doing tile what takes the longest. So depending on your skill level, the size of tile, how many cuts u need, you may need to add another day for tiling to this plan. Plus I didn’t include trim work here as well. I mean if you will be putting 10-12 hour days for 7 days straight then I think you might be able to pull it off. However, if you plan on working 6-8 hours per day then it may be hard. Plus don’t forget always plan on oh crap days too, where you don’t have a right tool or you are missing something and u need to run to the hardware store because something ran out or u forgot something. Anyway I hope this helps. Keep me posted and let me know how it went.

What was the overall cost of the project if you remember and also was there anything thing you would have done differently or paid someone else to do? Thanks in advance

[@Daddicated]

Overall cost was about $3,200. Umm 🤔 what I would differently. Well a few things. 1. Use pex for plumbing instead of CPVC 2. Waterproof the entire shower instead of just seams 3. Don’t forget the rubber liner for the shower floor 😅 4. Buy a better tile cutter so I can do all my tile cuts in the bathroom and don’t have to walk outside for all the cuts. Tiling the shower took me the longest. I think that’s about it. Overall I think it turned out pretty good.

@@suleeeeee-x5m no problem. Let me know if you have any other questions.

[@XSR_RUGGER]

@@Daddicated I was wondering if you were going to line the bottom of the shower with a pan or other waterproofing. Cpvc isn't bad when it's new but becomes very brittle over time. Did you seal around the flange for the pop up assembly in the vanity? If not it will most likely leak when you fill the sink and probably even just running the faucet.

[@Daddicated]

@@XSR_RUGGER Yeah, I waterproofed the pan with waterpoofing and membrane in the corners. I know it wasn't the best option but it was what I had to do based on where I was in the remodel. Not sure what you mean about the pop up assembly but I don't have any leaks in my vanity so far. I think I'm good.

Thank you. Well it’s nice to have a contractor do it for you since it will be super fast and you don’t have a bathroom torn down for a few months. It took me like 4-6 months. There was holidays in between and a vacation so made it longer.

[@windynotario2866]

Love that you showed step by step in what you did and how you did it. I was wanting remodel my bathroom to similarly to what you did to yours. Please could you, tell me how much it cost you for the whole project? Thank you.

[@Daddicated]

About $3,200. But this was in 2019 so I would assume it would cost more now.

[@edessaable]

Amazing great good job done... how talented you are... bless you.. and thank you for sharing.. Hi from Greece.

[@Daddicated]

Thank you for such nice words. Greece is on top of our list to visit once this covid thing dies out and things go back to normal.

[@frankcatrini4816]

i hope it holds up, as i see an issue with the shower floor. w. if you simply do a mud slope without pre slope, then the drain should of been a bonding drain and with a bonded drain a sheet membrane or complete waterproofing liquid needs to be used with proper sheet membrane where floor meets walls...if you did indeed use a liquid waterproofing on top of mud slope you should of used a different drain as now water can seep down under drain from the gaps between tile and drain and get into mud bed, if it was a bonding drain that water would just go into plumbing, thats the difference. or you could of used a 3 piece drain with a pan liner and pre slope. good luck and the end product turned out nice

[@Daddicated]

I think I should be okay. I got concrete foundation so even if a little bit seeps thru it should absorb it. But I made sure to use a lot of waterproofing liquid so I'm pretty sure I should be okay. But thanks for the suggestion.

[@boris_k]

Great job on the entire reno. They say hindsight is 20/20. Would you realign the first row of tile to ensure that tiles align better around the window? At 2:37 you can see two horizontal strips of tile around the window. A single strip might look cleaner. Amazing job nonetheless.

[@Daddicated]

Yeah probably not a bad idea. Something I definitely didn’t consider during the layout process. I think I was more worried about top and bottom pieces to be big enough. It’s a learning process every time u do something

[@deborac_brasil]

Loved it, but I never worked with remodeling! I wish I could do my small and only bathroom

[@Daddicated]

Yeah it’s harder to do it if you only have one bathroom.

[@montreal528]

It's great with DIY for such remodel. The crucial thing I don't have much time to do this. The material is around 3K, while the labor would cost 5K if get contractor?

[@Daddicated]

I’m not sure what the price to get a contractor is but I imagine is a lot. I was told it can cost anywhere from $5k-$10k if you hired someone to do it all. Cuz keep in mind contractors mark-up the cost of materials as well in addition to their labor costs.

[@SpringRubber]

Great job! Although you didn't mention it, I see you installed a countdown timer for the exhaust fan. Those are great, I've installed them on all my bath fans.

[@Daddicated]

Thanks. Yeah they are the best especially with kids. I think that was one of my firs project I did at the house.

I really like all of your videos. Could you please let me know the order from beginning to end of project? I am going to try to do this project in 12 days in December. Thank you

[@Daddicated]

What do you mean tell you the order? Did you not watch the video. That’s your typical order. Demo everything as much as you can with exception of the toilet, u want to save that for very last so u can still use it. While u working on shower walls and stuff. Then once u ready for floors you remove toilet and do the flooring. Good luck let me know if you have any specific questions.

[@robertmooberry725]

I wish that I could see more detail on converting from a 1.5 inch drain to a 2 inch drain. I just got an estimate of $19+k to convert my tub to a walk in shower. On-line it says 12k-5k with 12k being a very fancy shower. The conversion that I was asking for was NOT fancy. I'd like to know what is involved in replacing the drain. The house is slab and was built in 1978. BTW VERY nice job!

[@Daddicated]

I’m glad you found my drain video. Lol

[@smash72cutlass30]

Nice job just a couple tips that might make your life a little easier. For me I’d leave all the fixtures like vanity and toilet out of the bathroom until all tile work is done. It’s been my experience that working space is always at a premium the more the better. Another tip is attach the faucet to the sink then set the sink saves your back. Only other tip that works for me is water proof and mud work I complete it all first. Then all tile, then all grout. Seems to save time especially if there’s a lot of cleanup everyday. Your not putting away all tile stuff only to have to dig it all out again. Just tips no right and wrong thought you did a really nice job.

[@Daddicated]

Thanks for all the tips. I appreciate them.

I wish I was able to do this. You make it look so easy.

[@Daddicated]

You can. You just have to try and not be afraid of failing at it. Start small projects and work your way up.

[@rochellec.1891]

@@Daddicated it is due to fear that I may not be able to fix it.

[@Daddicated]

@@rochellec.1891 What's the worst that could happen. The worst case is you will have to redo something or at last resort, you will have to hire a professional to do it. But think about this, there are so many tutorials out there that you can learn from first. Take in as much as you can for the particular project you are doing and then try to do it yourself. If stuck feel free to ask questions and I'm sure people will be happy to help. Fear is a liar. So don't be afraid. You can do this.

[@rochellec.1891]

@@Daddicated I fear that I may discover mold and will not be able to fix it on my own and be stuck in a project where I have no clue on how to treat the mold etc and end up costing me more since I will have to contact a professional. But you are absolutely right. I should not fear but watch more tutorials to help me and ask you or others if something comes up that I feel stuck on. Thank you so much for the encouragement. I hope I can redo my entire bathroom one day this summer.

[@Daddicated]

@@rochellec.1891 So here is your worst-case scenario. You discovered mold, which is bad but you hire a mold expert that helps you get rid of it. Which yes would suck. But the rest afterward you can still do yourself which will still save you a ton of money. Trust me you will make small mistakes but you will learn a lot more through the process and your confidence level will go through the roof. Even if you tear everything down and have a professional do the rest you will save money that way as well. So kick the fear to the curb, roll your sleeves up, and get to work. 😜

[@mrspunk61]

Looks great , it's almost exactly what we want to do . I gotta do it and I'm concerned about the time involved. You said 6 months and that seems realistic. We would be taking outdoor showers too late into the season I fear. It's already June, feeling too much pressure.

[@Daddicated]

I guess really depends on how much u can do throughout the week after work and stuff. I mean if u really tried and worked every weekend and a little through tour the week then maybe you will be fine. Also focus on the shower first and get that done so u have a place to shower before finishing the rest of the fine details like vanity and light fixture.

[@mrspunk61]

Yes , I would have to ignore the rest of the bathroom and get the shower finished. I wish I could get rid of the toilet but that would cause some issues. I'm watching some of your other videos now. Very helpful. You might get a few questions from me down the road lol

[@Daddicated]

Yeah tiling the shower probably took me the longest out of the entire project. You could maybe get a helper too in order for it to go faster. No problem ask away. I’ll try to help with what I can and what I know.

Thanks. Yeah the toilet was broken so I wouldn’t want someone to have a bad toilet. And as far as the mirror oh well. But u can say that about everything, don’t buy coffee everyday and donate that to the poor, or don’t buy whatever you may buy out of want and give that money to the poor. You get my point.
