How To Tile Jacuzzi Tub Surround | Time Lapse

[@naturewalkswithbelindaann2503]

Great job 💕💕

[@friendlyneighborhoodtileguy]

Thank you

[@angelicab121]

Thanks for the video. Can I make the entire deck of wood. I’m on a budget and i was given 1/2 and 3/4 water treated plywood but I dont know if I can tile over it. I live in puerto rico there are many types of boards that aren’t normally used here especially since we don’t have low temperatures in winter. What options do I have that i can tile over with a heavy ceramic tile?

[@friendlyneighborhoodtileguy]

It’s not something I would try here in the states, I’m not sure about trying it elsewhere.

[@Jay_will1988]

How do you get access to the moto if you have a problem?

[@friendlyneighborhoodtileguy]

One of the sides is a removable panel. It’s held in place with magnets. Thanks for watching and commenting, I appreciate it.

[@ElsieAyala]

@@friendlyneighborhoodtileguy does this mean there’s not grout on one side? Or how would you open the panel without breaking the tile?

[@panafrocanam2100]

​@@ElsieAyala hmmm

[@friendlyneighborhoodtileguy]

The grout is 100% silicone around the panel. This will look grouted and be removable at the same time.

This little kzbin.infoUgkxVoi3B4CB6Oygq1-vo4OTL1M_M5JkrXif tub works perfect in our 6 x 6 shower and is easy to get in and out. Also easy to drain.

[@friendlyneighborhoodtileguy]

I appreciate it

[@lonebasserman3026]

How much would a job like that cost roughly, same size tub that needs tiles removed beforehand. Thanks

[@friendlyneighborhoodtileguy]

+Lone Basserman This particular job cost was $1,800 for the installation, not including the tile itself. If we need to add demolition to that it would likely add another $600-$800 dollars depending on the surrounding area. For us protecting your home from the job is as important as the job itself. Taping everything off, hanging plastic and using a HEPA air scrubber keeps the mess contained and doesn’t spread throughout the rest of the home. I always think the demolition goes quick until you realize that putting up and taking down the barriers takes longer than the job itself. Tile removal is one of the messiest jobs there is. Dust goes everywhere.

@@friendlyneighborhoodtileguy Makes sense, I appreciate the quick feedback! Definitely something I want done down the line. Thanks again

[@Sweetlj99]

Would have loved to see how the frame was done

[@friendlyneighborhoodtileguy]

What questions do you have about the framing? The homeowner framed this himself, we just installed the Kerdi Board and tile. I’ve framed these before, I’d be happy to tell you how we do it.

[@Sweetlj99]

@@friendlyneighborhoodtileguy do you have any videos on how it is done? yes I would love if you could tell me yes!

[@friendlyneighborhoodtileguy]

Lisa J. Sweetness the way we frame the surround is to use the directions from the tub manufacturer. We like to frame our surrounds so that the finish height of the tile is slightly below the rim of the tub, that way the tub isn’t resting on our tile. We find this to be a clean look and it helps prevent any grout cracking from the vibration of the motor. Hope this helps.

[@hdwood76fxe]

EJ Flooring & Custom Tile Installation I had a previous question about where the horizontal tile meets the tub. This answers it. Thanks 👍🏻😊

[@friendlyneighborhoodtileguy]

W DeVries Glad I could help you out. Thanks for watching my video

[@Tako2e]

Did you guys miter the front bump out part? Great job my friend

[@friendlyneighborhoodtileguy]

The two front vertical edges are mitered. The platform sticking out from the tub (about 2” wide) is finished with metal. Thank you again for watching my videos.

[@hdwood76fxe]

Nice job! Not real crazy about time lapse for that long but I appreciate you doing it for us. Question: did you tile up to the edge of the tub or are the tiles under the tub edge? Thanks.

[@friendlyneighborhoodtileguy]

I think for this job we tiled up to the tub edge. The homeowner set the tub, not us. When we install a tub like this we make sure it’s high enough for the tile to slip under the flange. Great question, thank you. I’ll also try to shorten the time lapse up as well.

[@MrHendrixdanger]

@@friendlyneighborhoodtileguy Do you ever tile then set the tub?

[@friendlyneighborhoodtileguy]

@@MrHendrixdanger if I’m setting the tub, yes. That’s the way it prefer to do it actually. This tub was already in place, I’m not going to remove it to reinstall it. When I build the deck I want the lip of the tub to be about 1/8” above the finished tile. This way the tub isn’t resting on the tile and it won’t transfer the vibrations to the tile as bad. I just use 100% silicone color matched to the tub to seal the tub to the tub deck. Does this help?

Chimpmunks are tiling the tub

[@friendlyneighborhoodtileguy]

Alvin!!

[@MrHendrixdanger]

@@friendlyneighborhoodtileguy It would be sweet if you had a bit of commentary while you are doing it, love the work just cant stand the sound nite. Or play cool jazz music!

[@friendlyneighborhoodtileguy]

@@MrHendrixdanger I am trying to get better. I do appreciate the feedback.

[@deeblaze7552]

How are you showing how to do something with a time lapse

[@friendlyneighborhoodtileguy]

This isn’t a good tutorial on my part, my apologies.

[@gocanes2]

Looks nice but if someone is wanting to do it themselves how would they learn from the video, there is no info given at all

[@friendlyneighborhoodtileguy]

Unfortunately this is a common comment on this video. I am changing how I do my how to videos to be more specific, that way the information is clearly communicated (hopefully).

[@Tony-fg4ql]

y’all didn’t put water proof around the tub before tile. Steam is tiles worst enemy even with sealed up grout

[@friendlyneighborhoodtileguy]

Jetted tubs don’t steam

[@AdrenalineCrew]

I’m in the jacuzzi right now. Hell yeah there is steam I have a heating unit in it

[@friendlyneighborhoodtileguy]

Steam doesn’t penetrate unless it’s under pressure. Jetted tubs aren’t in an enclosure that can be pressurized and the surrounds aren’t considered wet areas. It doesn’t hurt to waterproof the walls, but if the tub is used as designed there’s no need to.

[@gregoryhobbs9806]

Use business card magnets. Not Velcro

[@friendlyneighborhoodtileguy]

We typically use Schluters access panel kit and that contains magnets. Unfortunately we had to make due with what we had available and it’s working great.

[@Tony-fg4ql]

[@friendlyneighborhoodtileguy]

Soaking tubs aren’t showers. There’s no requirement to waterproof the walls. It may not be a bad idea to do so, but it’s not necessary.

[@Tony-fg4ql]

EJ Flooring & Custom Tile Installation true true. I just like to think you can never be to careful

[@friendlyneighborhoodtileguy]

Tony it’s never a bad idea to overdo things, customer still has to pay for it though. With the huge shower on the other side they just wanted to keep the cost down as much as possible.

[@Tony-fg4ql]

EJ Flooring & Custom Tile Installation ya that water proof material does get expensive
