God bless you

[@mikesetkin120]

Thank you for sharing and specific details

[@joebinion1]

So why did you not pour the second mortar bed, you did the preslope then sheet membrane?,,is it because you did not use rubber I'm guessing that when you use rubber you have to have the preslope ,rubber then the final poured base,GOD BLESS,LOVE YOUR VIDEOS

[@wadebrewer7212]

And thank you for being human and sharing the mistakes. All of us trying to do this stuff ourselves will do the same mistakes and fail, buy you showing us what to watch for is a HUGE help. Thank you for all the work you are doing for us, I genuinely mean that.

I appreciate you sharing your mistakes. It's nice to see how you brush them off, treating them as only minor setbacks, and forging ahead.

[@tryan7]

This man is a true craftsman who cares about his trade. Excellent job with all the details. Best wishes. 💯✅️

[@traceymeek1238]

Thank you for flashing up a picture of the tools you are using at that moment. A materials list is very helpful, but knowing exactly when you are using each tool is even more helpful.

[@-clif1987]

As a general remodeler who loves tiling I appreciate this video. I’ve done bath tub tile and showers with preformed bases but haven’t the courage to do a floor yet. The way you did the mortar bed made it click for me and I loved the time break down at the end. I’m alway trying to figure that out too. Great to know I’m not the only one shooting myself in the foot on labor.

[@tiooito]

Spectacular work and the humility to be able to accept your failures and how to address them, in my book that makes you a PROFESSIONAL I wouldn’t mind to hire you any time for any work Thank you very much for your time!

[@margaretbear]

One of the things I love about tiling is how everything looks like chaos and mess and then, voila! Beauty. ❤

[@phillmellina]

My god- you’re incredible. That was NOT an easy job. Beautiful work.

[@margaretbear]

It wasn't until the very last pan of the entire shower that I realized that the tile on the floor is the same as the tile on the ceiling and runs in the same direction. Nice little detail. I know you didn't do the ceiling, but you had to match it. It's such a huge shower and you did a beautiful job with doing a retrofit of just the lower part, especially since the tile wasn't the same size! I like how you dealt with that.

[@gnarlybark]

Great video recording and editing work 🏆 The video is also a reminder of the saying: "There's not always time to do it right, but there's always time to do it over." Nice job!

[@BathroomRemodelingTeacher]

That’s a good quote 👍

I respect your honesty. We all make mistakes. You are a hard working man!

[@hectorp8055]

Wonderful. Exactly what I'm faced with now, so, perfect timing. And as usual for you, you break it down to the important questions directly. Especially good to see when things go wrong and how you repair and understand what happened. Finally, your camera person is very talented.

[@TheAxecutioner]

That turned out great !!! Really excellent work by the BRT team.

[@theige01]

Wow. One of your better videos. This was hard, knowledgeable, and at the same time careful work (especially demo of 1st row). Thanks for the patience you had talking to the camera while also concentrating on the work. And thanks for admitting the real world bed mistake - helpful to the watchers.

[@Musicmannstudios]

Mad respect for posting your mistakes (mud bed). Awesome teachable moment and probably a huge help to many people. Keep going. Love the positivity.

[@TexasRaised87-u2y]

This is exactly what I need to do to our own shower. I’m glad you showed me the mistakes but now I’m terrified because I know I’ll make way more than you being a DIYER

[@twtw9589]

Excellent work! Your are a true craftsman and problem solver. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@JPTX80]

Great idea using strips of go-board as a perimeter line for the mud bed. I'm def gonna use that. Thanks!

[@yjohn5290]

Great work, and even better timing... I'm bidding on a similar job tomorrow...you confirmed all my concerns. Thanks for the great content.

[@ezprint6099]

I'd rather watch content like this over Netflix. Great stuff for those of us who wanna learn from skilled craftsmen like you, sir. Thanks for sharing, even the mistakes and corrections. One quick idea that may help newbies like me when laying the template down. Remember, small cross pieces had to be glued together facing up. Face them up when placing template on top of tiles before cutting. Noticed in the vid outside, small cross pieces are faced down, directly on the tile rather than up. Now, if I can just remember this when I have to make a template.😂 Thanks again, Big Guy!

[@KCconcealed]

Great video! I watch a lot of your content and have remodeled 2 of my own bathrooms using your vids. When this video started I was immediately drawn in by me trying to guess how you would fix this and then seeing your process. I liked how you explained and overcame some of the challenges. Very enjoyable.

[@bigbob9702]

[@moisestrujillo4591]

How much did that repair cost its alot of work

Thank you for being transparent with your mistakes on this job.

[@johnburns2940]

Ya, really good job. They were lucky to find you. Well done 👍

[@userfriendly06]

Probably won't be all that difficult. Famous last words! We've all been there, great video as always!

[@austinatkin454]

You are one of my favorite channels sir! But I will say if the panliner system is done correctly with pre slope , weephole, protector, correct coverage on every tile, and laticrete 2 part epoxy it’s gonna be a very very long lasting shower! Just saying that’s how I do it hear in MO and I’ve never had issues! Don’t get me wrong I think there is more and more great methods coming out that im starting to believe in but until we see some actually years built up on these new systems I’m just not there yet to give it up this way

[@lildellw6759]

S/O to Mrs. Steve with the camera angles.. it was literally one part of video I said to myself “let me see the other angle” and the frame changed to another angle.. Great job!!

[@BathroomRemodelingTeacher]

😆 thx. Some day I’ll get better equipment. Those go pros drive me nuts. Worked the whole time on this one 👍

[@James_Snell]

Nice work Steve! As a DIYer I’d budget 125hrs for myself to complete this job to make it look as good as you did 👍👍

[@BOWELMOVEM3NT]

I learned a few things here … love the template setting tiles on driveway to get your cuts, brilliant. I watched you put it on driveway and was thinking I wonder how he knows what side is up and laughed so hard when you explained what happened that is something I would do. Love the honesty. Never heard of a dustless tile saw, thats awesome! I was wondering why you were cutting in the bathroom lol

[@heresmytake2782]

What's crazy is that water only needs one pinhole or less to find its way through. Great work, BTW. Hope it lasts for a hundred years.

[@TXN_HomeImprovements]

Love this !!! Super detailed helps to see different shower pan scenarios

[@johnburns2940]

I watched all the way to the end. Lots of good info in here. Stop with the Windex. Use the Cramer silicone tooling profiles for tooling wet caulking. Game changer.

Thank you sir . I learned a few nice tricks . Template a very nice idea for faster and presize work and ohhh the pain with mortar in to the joints "a brush"???? Never though of that . Amazing. Thank you again. I just finished 2 big backsplashes and on one i had to clean the joints . Oh the brush 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤

[@jeanettegreen2880]

Awesome that you shared your mistakes and how to fix them. I will be catching your tutorials again. Oh and I learned a lot. And you also shared what you charged. Now I'm thinking maybe I should just hire you for my job. Would you ever come to someone's house and kinda guide and teach them, and they could do all the work. You could just check on them from time to time make sure they're doing it correctly. They could pay you for just instructing them. If so please let me know. I would like doing it myself, I just need some guidance. Thank you😅😂

I ❤️ BRT! The most realistic channel on the tube in regard to tiling and bathroom remodeling. I am a PRO and I do follow most of them. I said it before and will say it again, PEOPLE listen closely what Steve has to say. You will actually see and understand what it takes in real life to work with tiles, bathroom remodels or a repair like this one. On top of that BRT has a bunch of detailed teaching courses easy to digest. Check this video description for more info. Go BRT, Go! 👍💪👊

[@HanC]

Thank you very much for such a great effort to make this video. I really enjoy it but I have one suggestion. I see a lot of powder flying in the air when you blend things that in a long time it is going to hurt your lungs. I know it's not comfortable to wear a mask, but it will keep you healthy in the long run. Wish you all the best.

[@maximax2324]

Where can i buy that flow f extreme? Thanks

[@JtotheRizzo]

Which caulk did you use? Have you noticed molding/mildew with this caulk in your experience?

[@zarhockk]

isn't the thinset supposed to be with rigs and not fully smooth to apply the membrane?

[@Nailedit440]

just a tip I noticed you mix most of your mud beds in a bucket, next time, put it in a black contractor bag with your water and your mix, then tie your bag and just roll it around on the floor a couple of times and it’s perfectly mixed and then just dump it out no need to use a mixer

[@BonBon770]

Awesome video, thanks for showing actual price and time! there are a few things,you could have went a step further and went doorknocking in that neighborhood , I guarantee some of those houses have that tile either in the garage put up somewhere or in an attic, but it is what It is now. Secondly, you could have made 2 quartz , 2cm solid surface for the seats. Since you didn't go all the way up. ( It would have helped water better getting off top of seat, Because it's solid and the water is not going down through the ground joints . You can't guarantee that the joint where the wall meets the top of the seat is totally waterproof ,because you couldn't get that second row of tile off . I know, i commented on one of the other videos about not taking the door/curb down ,so you can't warranty that either. I understand the shower's big. But they have body sprays and everything in there. So, yes, it is more work to take the curb apart. Take the door down and reassemble it not having to get another piece of glass made, but it can be done.. ... Was the $1100 material included in your $3500?

[@BathroomRemodelingTeacher]

Thanks 😊 agree with all points. I feel it’s very unlikely I’ll have a leak at benches or door entry. But both suggestions would improve the odds of not having issues. Yes material included in price 👍

[@BonBon770]

@@BathroomRemodelingTeacher nice!

[@dimash244]

My tile on shower floor is like 1/16" higher around drain flange, and water just doesn't drain off properly. Can I use primer and make layer of glue around perimeter 3/4" thick and 1/8" around drain to achieve the 1/4" per foot slope? I'm debating whether to remove tiles and put new ones on or put new ones on top of old ones. No leaks or anything, just sitting water starts to mould under silicone

[@ES-yi8vv]

Great video! Really like how you show all your mistakes. Nice to know even the pros make mistakes too! Thank you for sharing this.

[@AI_177]

What mistakes? He was correcting someone's fuck up.

[@EJKoford]

This was really educational and informative. Thank you. That said, did it occur to you at any time that the labor involved in the repair might exceed the value of simply demoing the shower and rebuilding? I have learned that caulk has a lifetime.. (around 8 years?) and all that caulk putting in the new backer board around the bottom made me cringe.. After the fact, would it have been more practical to just demo the shower?

[@Graffenwehr]

When you drive screws through the flange, are you not piercing the felt water proofing?

[@Matt-my7pz]

The felt is just moisture guard for the dry pack on the plywood I believe. The water proofing aspect is the FlowFX drain and the Schlueter KERDI membrane together. The membrane over laps those screw holes by an accepted certified industry standard of 2" overlap minimum creating a seal. The screws through the screed strip on the perimeter was also not a concern given the system.

[@Konigkev]

Template idea is absolute genius!

[@zacstade]

@BathroomRemodelingTeacher I'm going to be adding a bathroom in my basement. If I want to add a new floor drain and want to re slope the floor so it leads to that drain, would you normally use that same dry pack to do so? To clarify it's not the drain for the shower it's a overflow drain for the basement floor since I live in an older house and it doesn't currently have one. Thanks 🙂

[@jamesrussell1495]

Look great! Was the home owner happy?

[@Alxrez]

I appreciate all your videos

[@selenachandler2840]

Hi Steve- I completed your three day course and am almost finished with our wet room area. Things have gone relatively well. I tried using a premixed thinset because the schluter all set would dry too fast for my abilities. That backfired. The premix never dried after five days so I had to remove the wall of tiles and reset them with schluter all set. When removing the tiles one fell and pressed two penny tiles deep enough to dent the schluter shower pan underneath. I tried sealing the area over the affected tiles with silicone. I’m seeing water outside my wet room between where to sections of kirdy band meet. I couldn’t use a kiddy corner here bc it’s an outside corner/no wall. I pulled the affected tiles out and yes the pan is dented. Can I try to seal the defect using the sealant from the Go board system? Or could I seal it with silicone, replace the penny tiles, grout then silicone on top? I can send pictures if that would help. I’m so close to being done with this area. This is disappointing. Your course has gotten me so far and I’m so happy that I’ve tackled such a huge project. TIA

[@BathroomRemodelingTeacher]

Hey Selena, yes please email me or post in tutorial on course. Sorry to hear your troubles. That’s quite frustrating when being so close to done. Bathroomremodelingteacher@gmail

[@EricJohnson-dr5wb]

So in the corners it looks like the grout fills the gap and then the caulk goes over that. Is that correct?

[@5metoo]

awesome video!

[@HannadayFLO]

😮 cost! 😮 had I been the homeowner I'd have wanted to demolish the entire shower - everything - and build regular shower, size and enclosure with a shower tray. I'm still gobsmacked!

[@apllDgrapllD]

Are you supposed to cover up the weep holes with mud bed mortar & thinset?

[@douglashammond8604]

Hey some tip for mixing mud Put the mud and water into strong trash bag, the one has in Home Depot work calls contractor bag. And move the trash bag to the right and left you’ll get a consistent mud mix.

[@paumaximus7572]

The strips that you added before adding the mud bed don't have silicone on the screws nor the borders... shouldn't they have?

[@bennisim7949]

Hi. Thank you for the video. Do you still use and recommend kbrs shower pans ? I saw one video where you did but it was a while ago. Thanks

[@BathroomRemodelingTeacher]

Yes, that’s still a great system to go with. Just too complicated to order for this odd configuration. I hear they now have pans that can accommodate a flo fx drain. Which is way better IMO than attaching to a clamp drain 👍

[@astang1072]

Couple things: lack of pre slope doesn't explain the squishy floor: something failed. My first thought was maybe they used mastic, which often fails like that on shower floors. Other thought was mud bed too thin and it was subfloor deflection. You didn't get into that other than tear it out. Second: seats are huge failure points in showers and I’m not clear what that heavy bead of sealer at the back of the seats was sealing the go board against. Looks like, A; the backer board which isnt waterproof, or B; were you able to seal it to the old PVC membrane, which is sketchy at best as you mentioned “not ideal”. I’m worried about that seat waterproofing.

[@bobscaping]

Interesting video

[@leaguefixesyourmatches8259]

If you nail the waterproofing with a nail gun. Won't it put holes in the waterproof membrane?

[@Mark-kc9uz]

I’m a carpenter so I don’t know much about tile work. What about hot mopping on a flat surface and a sloped mortar bed on top?
