[@edwardl.990]

I was a tile contractor for 25 years and I always removed all metal fixtures, soap dishes, and covered the tub with a heavy canvas in case I dropped a tile or something on the tub corner. That way you do not chip the tub finish. I have had great luck with redguard although Mapai products are good too. One last thing. I always spread my thinset level across the shower wall so that I can lay a nice even bed of mortar and I go to wherever 3 or 4 rows of tile will reach. Like if the tile is 11 3/4 inches, I spread 36 inches level across the wall and lay those 3 rows, then do the next 3 rows. I like your videos

[@DeepSeaManta]

Im no contractor but my mom and i learned what we can about this kind of work to do our own home improvements/renovations. We never had the money to hire professionals but used books and videos to our best advantage.

[@jazzfan30329]

Wow. I just got a quote from a company that does acrylic showers. The list of what they could not do was longer than what they could do. Bottom line he quoted me - with a straight face - $20k for basically three pieces of acrylic. A bottom piece and two sides (the other two sides are glass). Of course ripping out the existing tile is part of their approach. Needless to say Jeff has absolutely inspired me to go over the existing tile. Don’t think I have any mold issues but what the heck go ahead and do the water membrane for good measure. Thanks Jeff! P.S. I’ll take some before and after photos and post them if possible.

Love your video's. Lots of homeowners can't afford to tear out the whole bathroom. I have a long 1960's bathroom tiled on the floor, shower and half way up the walls. The quotes I've gotten to update it completely out of my price range so we've just lived with it. This is a great option.

I did a complete DYI reno on my bathroom. Your videos are straight forward, easy to understand and made the job go smoothly. I used Mapei Aqua Defense to seal the tub area and that product is all it says it is. What I like about your videos is you get straight to getting the job done, you talk along the way which is perfect and usually answers any questions one might think to ask. Thank you for the very informed videos. I would not have been able to do this project without your guidance and assurance that I could do it myself!!!

@@HomeRenoVisionDIY All true!

[@larryrenolds7264]

If you're using a quarter inch by quarter inch trowel you need to back butter your tile. You should never grout your corners or where the tile meets the tub. Always use 100% silicone on all joints and corners. When you're applying thinset on the wall don't go up too high or else it starts to dry. I put maybe two feet worth of thin-set up before tiling. I never grout on the same day. Guys like you keep me really busy. Thanks for all the work. P.S. always silicone in all your plumbing fixtures.

[@brekkoh]

he pulled off the tile to show you the adhesion, so no, backbuttering isnt required if you have the experience this guys does with thinset

[@adamsinder5275]

[@davemorris9489]

Awesome video!! I took this project on while my wife was out of town because I know she would say it can't be done this way. Let me tell you, the transformation was amazing and I never cut a piece of tile before this project. In total, I spent around $1,300 for tools, tile, cement and other supplies (e.g., a laser level is a must) and around $2,100 to have a frameless door installed. The door installation was the only part of the project that I didn't feel comfortable doing myself. The shower door guy was blown away that I did it myself and that it was tile over tile. For the walk-in shower floor, I used penny tiles with an epoxy grout (Starlike EVO). I was a bit intimidated to try an epoxy grout because of the quick dry-time, but this product was very forgiving and I had no problems. Thanks so much for posting this video and for anyone out there thinking about trying this, I'd say go for it. Just take your time with the tile measurements and planning the tile placements. Cheers

Hello, I am contractor in Arizona, the reason we want to Tearout the old tile and start from scratch. The plumbing fixtures 90% of them won’t fit back on. Also we are required to warranty all of our work for 2 years. Going over someone else’s work we are liable for anything they may have done wrong. That’s why many contractors don’t want to tile over tile. Plus we are registered contractors, so we have to follow building codes. Set by the state to protect homeowners.

There is no such thing as a tile mafia. There are either professional tile setters, mediocre tile setters and just plain hacks. A smaller percentage are really pro tile setters. I put this guy somewhere in the middle as far as knowledge. Having said that, there is nothing wrong with wanting to save money and doing it this way if you know the drawbacks also, which he doesn't address here. He wasn't honest as to why a professional wouldn't recommend doing it this way, and it isn't the money. As a tile setter myself for 35 years, I wouldn't do this in my home just to save money, unless it was just some secondary bathroom in good shape that doesn't get used as much and even then I might just decide to tear it out and do it the professional way. There are many reasons I wouldn't do it this way that have nothing to do with money.

Just call an official tile setter's association for a list of honest guys that won't rip you off and do good work. They don't give out names and numbers of hacks there.

Literally just about to do this. Not the first time ur uploads match my projects. Thanks

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Cheers Matt, glad to be in sync. Cheers!

[@lynnrogers9923]

Thanks for giving me the answers to my questions about tiling over tile. Very informative.

[@springer-qb4dv]

just cutting the holes in the tiles for the shower handles and spout took me whole day.

[@odalyscorominas5098]

You gave me hope! 😊 I'm glad I found this video today.

[@blahman614]

My opinion step 1 should be: remove all shower fixtures and tape a drop cloth off into the tub to protect it from spillage and debris.

[@shebaholder3047]

I wish he was in Trinadad cos my bath room need a make over

[@mismatch6292]

He did remove the fixtures but did not record that part. He does mention later that you have to pay attention to the depth of the tile to ensure that you can still turn the handle or fixture after installing another layer of tile.

Prep is 90%

[@bertmeza8673]

The only things you forget is this man has done this for years, he surely knows what he is capable of and it’s loss of time in minor cleaning..too funny the comments and critiques. End result speaks for itself and his quality videos

[@gailremp8389]

@@bertmeza8673 this is better than the remove glaze, blah blah blah. I think he appreciates that most of us are dunderheads when it comes to this kind of stuff. But there is the attitude of a lot of us is what the hell. Give it a shot. I'll add this to my list of things to do when I get my totally ripped muscle in my right shoulder not in such pain. I hope you're having a good memorial day. Peace.. Gail in Central Florida. May 31, 2021.

[@chuckmckee2741]

Wow I have did not know you can do this. Simply because the tile guys call for a tear off. I’m not even sure some of them knew . Thank you.

[@masterstouch7]

had no idea you could tile over tile.. wow.. great job!

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Thanks Brian, this is a remodeling game changer!

[@johnn5728]

Awesome- no demolition no dust. Great video!!! 👍

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

WIN, WIN, WIN, CHEERS!

[@YT_ESSTEE]

Actually, I cut out the ceramic and got major dust lol. The house was dusty for multiple hours

[@thehumantoeRD]

Hey hey, DYIer here (currently on month 9 of our whole house reno). Thanks for the videos! You have been a HUGE help. My experience with the bathrooms have been with redgard. I think I used 3 coats just to be sure we had full (and thick coverage). Hoping we wont have to redo anything anytime soon. Cheers!

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

sounds like you will be fine. Cheers!

[@KimLong-v4i]

So you have a husband to help? I didn't He got po'd if I asked him to do anything.. I'm glad you have someone to help you

[@thehumantoeRD]

@user-cx3jn7cq8e Haha! I am the husband. Its primarily been me doing the reno, but she specifically learned how to do skim coating drywall. I didnt have the patience or the attention to detail she wanted 😋

[@SuperJacknyc]

@@thehumantoeRD You two are hilarious! 🙂 And this argument is all too familiar ...

[@aftabak7599]

Many thanks Jeff for giving very professional instructions. regards, Aftab Ahmed. London

[@lynnschwebach5215]

Great video, I can do this! One big question I have is can you tile over tile if the existing shower has a tile floor? How do you handle the floor drain issue?

[@philpesce6141]

Anyone find out?

[@pcno2832]

Those hexagonal tiles look like something from the set of "Rowan & Martin's Laugh In", but give the customer what she wants. The technique is the same no matter what your tastes. Thanks for posting this.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

That is why you need to shop at a huge tile store. There will always be something there you will like!

[@caseyberry6959]

The eco prim grip is great. We call it rhino lining. Never used it for a shower only because we do very custom showers. But it's amazing on floors. And it is also waterproof according to the label

[@RozyRoPink150]

Jeff is amazing. I couldn’t even hammer a nail in a wall…. Now I have confidence in that I can do this. I’ve done so many upgrades in my home because of Jeff

[@thewolf3530]

I love the way you do things a great job

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Thanks Jerry, This trick will save a lot of folks a lot of money!

[@nancyrichardson2814]

Our shower also has a tiled floor...do you have a video for continuing on with this project to include the floor? Thank you

[@dawnweaver3556]

Can you do this over bathroom floor tile? Also, if it’s a heated floor? Love your videos!

[@lovehubbard]

You are amazing! I wish I could find someone as talented as you.

[@lolaneneq9263]

I wish to have a guy like him. My house would be spotless

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Except I don't pick up after myself sometimes. Cheers!

[@michaelganesan4578]

Dude you rock. I have a bathroom remodel project and I am going to do likewise. Thank you for the great tip. Why spend thousands when you can get it done with a few hundred dead presidents. Thank you for the great tip. Love it.

[@clydehorton159]

PEOPLE!!!! PLEASE UNDERSTAND ITS ABOUT $400 IF YOU DO IT YOURSELF. DO NOT CALL AROUND TELLING INSTALLERS YOU SAW THIS VIDEO AND THE JOB SHOULD ONLY COST $400. LOL I love this channel great tips, thank you!

[@eleanoreagly4844]

Thanks you for explaining about moisture build up behind the original tile.

[@smitlag]

Great video Jeff. I don't think I'd be done in a day but you seem to have a great helper. I too wish they sold the liquid membrane stuff in quarts but I have resigned myself to the $65 gallon tubs. Aquadefense is what I use for no particular reason

[@TimLetscher]

I'm curious if the same techniques work on a tiled shower floor? I would love to use the existing pitch. The floor is sound. Would you recommend the primer and the waterproof coating? For what it's worth, I will be removing the wall tiles so I'll be able to do some membrane sealer up the sides.

[@michaeldepow6663]

Why? Just seal the existing tile

[@cottondai]

This is such a great tip and detailed showing of the steps. Thank you.

[@gloriahufnagel5556]

I usually don’t use the links in the videos.. HOWEVER, I definitely will, with this one.. I have the exact same set up , with the wall then the toilet.. I’m gonna attempt this myself.. Jeff is so clear in his descriptions .. this one I really think I can do! ..

Done 5 years ago tiles still holding old tiles! Good advice for everyone!

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Been doing this for 20 years and it works awesome. Cheers!

[@tyv3651]

Looks amazing great work.

[@Pieces_of_Pisces]

Best DIY video ever! Can't believe I watched the entire thing with ease. Awesome, professional and personable.

[@isabellacintora]

the video that I've always been waiting for thank you very much, I am ready to renew my bathroom!

[@vanceonfire9414]

This is amazing. Can you also tile over floor tile in a shower (no tub)? I would assume the answer is yes but getting a little reassurance always feels better haha

[@angelicaf.7357]

Did you get an answer to this question? I need to know 🙂 Also, assuming you can retile around a garden tub too?

[@victoriaalexander512]

Wow great job! 👍 I just sent your video to my husband, he will be so pleased to see this!🤣 thanks! I would love to have that area retiled!

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Thank you Victoria, Cheers!
