Tile Tub Shower Walls I PLAN LEARN BUILD

Experience does matter! I see way too many YouTubers out there that renovate one or two bathrooms and pretend to be experts in the field. I'm all about new ideas and creative ways to share a story and help people, but if you don't have real life experience, then maybe you should film and share something else. 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

I say this because I feel sometimes it's tough to get good advice online, and it's certainly tough to tell who is real, or just pretending. In this video, I demonstrate the best practices and methods to completing and installing tile around a tub surround from years of experience. If you follow my guidance and pay attention, I assure you that you can get professional results with your own bathroom remodel.

If you have any questions about your own bathroom remodel I’d be happy to help. Sharing and liking this video really helps my channel 🙏 👍

[nikkiwhite]

Steve, you are the talent and a true professional. Keep doing what you are doing 👍

[skiingcrazed]

I have been scouring YouTube for months watching video after video of tiling. This is, by far, the most thorough, yet concise video I’ve seen. You show how you did all the crucial parts that make the distinction between proper and professional, and DIY. Like leaving the inside tile proud to work with the bullnose and planning the spacing so not one tile looks like an “oh $hit” afterthought. This is what I needed. Thank you X100. You’re doing God’s work for this anal retentive judgy tile person who’s never done tile but has to do tile.

[chetto]

how do you space the vertical gaps between tiles?

[scott-the-good]

Quality work, always nice to watch someone take pride in the work they do. Hope your channel blows up.

[mizquierdo]

Awesome video. Do you have a video showing your method for scribing and cutting your bottom and top course of tile?

[gnarlybark]

I sure wish your videos had been available when I stumbled thru tile work decades ago!

[miyoshijinnojinno]

What do you use for the level stand to adjust evenly as you move up on tiling the wall?

[er-xyky]

Great job Steve
I’m getting ready to start my walls . Could u show the scribe cut process? Also can you recommend a cheaper reliable tile cutter for ceramic? That ones kinda pricey. ? what laser are you using ? I have a red Leica and hate the red.
Final question.... on wall tiles 2x6 or 3x6 small (This is shower with no tub) Should I screw a piece of wood to wall through membrane like some to and stack off that. then fill holes and lay bottom row last?
Thanks Dan

[chriswithrow]

Excellent video. Came here from the description in your Short video. 👍

[Jennifer-gkyh]

Hi! what level are you using...I need one before I start my project? Great video! Using this to install my tile...

[marcelolopez]

Hi Stive I don't you need to water proved the goborrd on a tub? Or do I have to use that redgar ?

[Methodical]

Question. If you install a wood baseboard do you bring the bullnose tile to the floor or to the top of the wood baseboard.

[mirapeters]

So if your first row isn’t level, then you’ll make custom cuts starting from your lowest spot??

[AlexSanchez]

Great again! Beautiful job. How do you get the kerdi membrane to attach to the back of the mosaic? With thinset?

[bigeyejim]

HOw did you meet the corners? Put one "over" another, butt them, or leave a gap for grout and silicone? I've seen so many different ways!

[persainvests]

I love your video! What do you stand on in order to reach the top of the wall but also not damage the tub?

[StraightPineAcres]

Solely asking because I’m curious - when you were pressing the tile in the thinset on the right side, the wall was bowing and flexing. Once this is all set up, do you think there would be an issue? Were those studs 16”?

I’m looking at tiling my tub surround but I know the studs are 2x6 24” oc on the exterior wall. If using go-board, I should probably block it at 16”oc

[MichelleGordon-pt]

Where can b I get that stand that stand for the laser level?

[donproctor]

does trowel groove direction matter? I will be using 12 x 24 tiles. Love the idea of presetting mosaic. I'm thinking of doing a 12" wide tub to ceiling insert centered on the plumbing wall fixtures. I assume I can cut the tile after it dries to square up the edges? I'm using porcelain tile over Wedi board. What thinset do you recommend?
