I swear every time I need to look something up you're always right there with a detailed video. Thanks for all your help!

[ChadMichaelSimon]

Bravo! I’ve watched this video a dozen times. The first time, I used it to show my wife what was involved with a retiling we needed in the kitchen. Your delivery and instructions were superb. Walked me through step by step, and the floor looks fantastic.

I have watched 5 videos of tile replacement but none of then couldn’t get me all the info I was looking for. Thank you very much. This was really helpful

You are not only great Teacher but a very generous and a Kind person. You have honestly shared your experience. I have learnt a lot.

Canadians always sound so helpfully enthused. Like yourself. Thank you for your time.

As a mechanic who is tackling his own home repairs, I thank you for this very informative vid.

Thank you so much for posting!!! I wasn't looking for a PHD education in kitchen tile, just need to do a repair. You were spot on, with the quick, clean information i needed to get the job done. I am saving your channel for future tutorials, as my house is nearing 20 years old. I figure i'll need to know a little bit about a lot of things :)

Yours titles removing method is the most complete and detailed on YouTube. Good job. Thanks.

Excellent video Shannon! Thank you for redoing the realistic tile removal at the end . We appreciate you being so thorough!

Thank you very much for your tutorial. This was a weekend project. It required a bit more work than I thought, but it was worth it in the end. You helped me out greatly, and I saved quite a bit of money, even though I had to buy many of the tools you mentioned. I know I will use them again someday elsewhere in the house, so I consider that an investment. Thank you so much for your help!

I decided to learn how to replace my tile myself when I suspected I was being misled with a mighty price tag. I detest being manipulated, thanks for your video.

Great video!

Small tip: You can decrease the amount of tile shards during chiseling by covering the tile with wide masking tape beforehand.

[jaymesrod]

I was nervous doing this, but after watching your video, think I am kind of motivated to give it a try.

[robertmackay]

Thanks man, great video! I just dropped a pot plant on my tile and want to fix it myself rather than pay a ridiculous amount for min charge labour. You just schooled me up in 20mins!

[MrMarkguth]

Thank you very much, I think you have probably one of the videos out there on this.
I’ve just pulled up a few tiles in the bathroom and having a go myself, obviously I’ll need to seal mine, but your video has put me on the right path.

Thank you for posting this video on cracked tile replacement. I have 3 kitchen tiles exactly the way you have shown in video to remove and replace!

[TrpleAgnt]

I also discovered what a racket is the tile business.
my floor wasn't grouted, they simply used the thinset to serve as grout, one enormous time saver and trick-of-the-trade I did discover and wholly respect.
edit: for spelling

The Back Buttering idea is great. I have an old 1905 house with a slightly sloped kitchen floor. This extra tip will hopefully help keep my tile down. I have a few cracked tile to replace so I'm getting that oscillating tool you showed and thought about getting that Premixed SpectraLock 1 grout .. its $94 but its supposed to perform like Epoxy grout. My grout was coming out and chipping so I'll just redo it all.

[reginepolitte]

thank you and thanks for going back to show how the tile will most likely come up. Much appreciate the extra step.

[alejandroroal]

This was a great explanation. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I had a couple of damaged tiles on the master, so I did not want a stranger working there. I bought most of the tools you have and I did it. The floor looks great...
