Folks, if you’re building a shower area… ensure you apply fibreglass resin to the walls as the last step prior to tiling. It ensures the room is watertight. Ideally, the drain should be a ‘McApline Trapped Shower Gulley’ too as the resin can be interfaced with it to totally eliminate any weaknesses. Lastly, the trick to ensuring your tiles can adhere to the fibreglass is to throw sand at it while it’s still wet. This leaves a rough finish and tile adhesive bonds well to it. Thank me later!
Love the transformation! You guys did so good. Side idea; perhaps move inside shower stool to door side against the wall. It will provide more space under the rain shower head area( maybe even enough for couples shower). Just an idea 😅
You should have put some sort of liquid waterproofing membrane on the durock walls. Durock is not water proof just water resistant and while it will probably be fine it def won’t last as long. Some good membranes are Mapei AquaDefense, Redgard or hydroban. Also would recommend applying fiberglass tape to all the seams in the durock in order to reinforce them. Fiberglass tape and thinset it’s applied just like the orange Kerdi band in the corner which was a great touch.
It’s kind of strange that they went with a Kerdi product on the floor and in a corner but not on the shower walls where it’s needed the most. And, yeah, the messed up big time by not taping the backer board. In about a year, when enough water gets behind those tiles and soaks into the cement board, they’ll start crumbling and sagging, and those big ass tiles are going to start coming off the wall. 🤦♂️ Also, wood ceilings in a damp environment??? 🤦♂️🤦♂️
It looks verrrrry soothing! Wishing you lots of steamy evenings pampering in this space! I have a pretty bathroom in a very “meh” apartment and let me tell you…I spend so much time in there! Enjoy boo
Agreed on the grout lines. The people before me in my house knew what they were doing though. Suuuuuper thin 1/16” grout lines and marble tile means it never looks dirty!
When I read, I’ve had a shower after 10 months, I was concerned. And then I was concerned that you had dismantled everything. And now I’m concerned about the grout lines on my bathroom floor😂.. Nice work you!!
Love it!! Looks so inviting. I have yet to find a bathroom that has the weird ass footprint that mind does so I really have no idea what I can do with it, but I know I don't like spending time in it.
What products did you use to water proof the shower? I.e. type of drywall or product in between the drywall and tile? Not just the tile mud or the grout
For who’s asking about the waterproofing, yeah they have no waterproofing on the walls. The final product is great and beautiful, but really poor preparation.. the walls needed tape and mud on the joints and a good membrane (schluter or liquid membrane). I hope you guys can sell the house before it fails, because it will.
Hence why my bathroom tiles are going and im just putting up ovc panels no grout lines and 💯 waterproof cant wait till its done, that being said some tiles if done right can look beautiful
To whoever watches this and thinks, “I’ll do the same!”: pease don’t renovate your bathroom like these people did. They made some major mistakes that will likely cause this shower to fail in less than five years. For starters, they didn’t waterproof the shower walls before tiling. Cement board is better than gypsum Sheetrock with water, but it’s not waterproof. Water will eventually get behind the tiles through the grout lines and soak into the thinset and, eventually, the cement backer board. Water-soaked cement board eventually turns into a crumbly mess, and all those big, heavy tiles will fall right off the wall. Also, they forgot to reinforce the cement board seams with fiberglass tape before applying thinset. Just like Sheetrock, cement board seams need to be taped to limit movement between boards and prevent tiles from coming loose. Lastly, I *STRONGLY* advise against installing a slatted wood ceiling in a bathroom. Bathrooms are hot, humid environments, and it should go without saying that water, heat, and wood don’t play well together. Unless they installed an industrial-strength exhaust system in there to suck out ALL the evaporation (which, they, of course, didn’t), they’re going to end up with a moldy, musty, and warped ceiling that will need to be taken down probably sooner than the shower walls will start falling apart.
Have you looked at the big waterproof PVC panels I'm getting them there waterproof and easy to maintain no grout lines and literally stick over the old tiles there huge so an average shower would only need about 3 panels not sure about US but in the UK they start about £75 a panel so much cheaper as well especially when you consider time effort labour and tools also
As a “professional” all you have to add is that it would be better with a niche??? How about adding fiberglass tape, a waterproof membrane, using the right trowel size for the job, and not installing a wood ceiling in a damp environment??? 😂
Definitely agree the less grout lines, the easier to clean.
Yep. That's why I just looooooove that the previous owners used mosaic tile in the corner of the shower in my apartment /s
@@j.a.1721mosaic can look so pretty, but it must be absolutely hell to clean
@@silh3345 and maintain. Grout is not as durable as tile.
Real ones use whole sheets of tile and only grout the corners
I’m still in awe at how beautiful this bathroom turned out

Ok Becky that’s a great job what s beautiful spa bathroom!!!! So happy it turned out gorgeous!

Love the scrap cardboard template idea! Also, I love the jade/dark teal floor tile.
Wow.
Looks amazing 👏
Wow that bathroom looks nice
Did you waterproof the shower walls as well?
😂 Nope! And they forgot to tape the seams on the cement board with fiberglass tape
DIY hack job
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your bathroom ❤❤❤❤
Love it looks great and awesome use of space!
Gorgeous bathroom! Love, love, want that teak stool!
I love it, Becky!
Absolutely gorgeous!!
❤❤❤❤ CONGRATULATIONS 🎉🎉 ENJOY IT. Very beautiful decorations.
You did alot of amazing work that turned out pretty nice. Glad you like it.
Looks fantastic and inviting and luxurious 🎉
It looks amazing! Another amazing renovation! I loved following the journey for this bathroom reno.
I am literally in love with this bathroom 😭
Agreed on the grout lines. The people before me in my house knew what they were doing though. Suuuuuper thin 1/16” grout lines and marble tile means it never looks dirty!
Omg, turned out amazing!!!
Very nice! Turned out amazing 🤩
Beautiful job!
When I read, I’ve had a shower after 10 months, I was concerned. And then I was concerned that you had dismantled everything. And now I’m concerned about the grout lines on my bathroom floor😂..
Nice work you!!
Waterproofing?
VERY PRETTY😊😊😊❤❤❤
It’s beautiful and I love the large tiles in the shower
I loveeeee the ceiling
Looks great
What did you use for water proofing the walls
Evidently they used nothing 💀
Stunning 😊
Great job😮
OMG I wondered what happened to your videos! I remember when you were only doing thrift clothing flips! I love your content!
Love it!! Looks so inviting. I have yet to find a bathroom that has the weird ass footprint that mind does so I really have no idea what I can do with it, but I know I don't like spending time in it.
Brilliant to use big tiles!
What products did you use to water proof the shower? I.e. type of drywall or product in between the drywall and tile? Not just the tile mud or the grout
They didn’t waterproof 😂 That shower will fail in under a year.
Also, that’s not drywall. It’s called cement board (Durock, Hardi Backer/Board, etc.)
Awesome 🎉
Love the tile, source? Much appreciated 👍
Did they water proof the walls under the drywall?
I love that stool in the shower
Large tiles looks way better than small ones. I've never seen this before. Super awesome 👌
For who’s asking about the waterproofing, yeah they have no waterproofing on the walls.
The final product is great and beautiful, but really poor preparation.. the walls needed tape and mud on the joints and a good membrane (schluter or liquid membrane). I hope you guys can sell the house before it fails, because it will.

Red guard helps your walls not turn to mush..... otherwise great job you guys are impressive

They should have just hired a professional
not sure about wood stool right in the shower, other than that, looks great
Ive always wanted full sheets of granite in the shower. Wish i could afford it.
Have you looked at the big waterproof PVC panels I'm getting them there waterproof and easy to maintain no grout lines and literally stick over the old tiles there huge so an average shower would only need about 3 panels not sure about US but in the UK they start about £75 a panel so much cheaper as well especially when you consider time effort labour and tools also
How much $$?
I hate grout, it’s so freaking hard to clean. This extreme makeover looks so good, though!
Ahhh man. The glass is easier than you think!!! The tile is 3 X Harder than installing shower glass. Could have saved a big amount of money
Hey; what a great job! It looks so nice!
Yall need to waterproof the durock as well not just the corners. And that trowel size you used is definitely too small for that size tile.
Next time use waterproof membrane for the walls
Omg your husband looks like Ryan Gosling
You didn't mash tape your durock joints... Not the best way to do it... Beautiful bathroom thought!
Width of shower area?
Américain You build your houses with slime and foam ..?????
You forgot to waterproof the cement board.
"Husband and I" my ears enjoyed hearing someone saying it correctly.
Ohhh no!!! You needed to waterproof it!!! Also, you never put tile over the cement board! 💔
As a professional I would say it better if there was a niche too in the shower
As a “professional” all you have to add is that it would be better with a niche??? How about adding fiberglass tape, a waterproof membrane, using the right trowel size for the job, and not installing a wood ceiling in a damp environment??? 😂
it was a shower, it still a shower
Wait until she has to start over after failing to install water proofing.
Can't see the full bathroom
Why use kerdi only on the corner? Pointless to use it at all if your not waterproofing the whole shower
💫AWESOME…‼️‼️‼️💫💄💋💄💋
Where tf is the waterproofing????
Should tou have a wooden stool in the shower?
How clever it is to put a wood into the shower?
Cement boards on the walls?
🤤
Ever heard of waterproofing prior to installing tiles? Expect leaks in 3-4 years
Becky: It took us 10 months to fully rebuild a bathroom.
Me: It's 10 months since I moved, and I've yet to unpack all of my boxes. 😅🥲
TH-cam/people are getting overboard with here controversial ideas!? Wtf is so controversial about 24in x 24 in tiles!?!?
Bathroom in garage? Looks grungy
