I really appreciate how intelligent your working process is and your calm, modest, unpretentious instructional manner. Great video!
Thanks, I hope you subscribed and hit the like button. I appreciate the help
Fantastic video! One suggestion: you should always wear eye protection in case a tile shard hits you.
You seem like a really nice fellow and that is some good work, I am a contractor and I do the exact same thing with the hammer smash to the middle. I'd like to share a tip with you that will save a lot of time and effort. Take your Sawzall or reciprocating saw as I'm sure you know. Run that right down the side of the tile where it meets the drywall on the verticals. Then after your knife cut on top and Hammer break in the middle you should be able to pull the tile and the fiber board, green board or drywall whatever it may be right off the wall without the chipping flat bar method. Although it's nice to have a friend there because the pieces can be heavy but it saves a lot of time. As I said before, great work and I hope this comment helps to make your job easier and help all your awesome followers this is a great Channel 👊
Just found your video as I moved into my husband's house that he already owns. He loves this old house. It was built 150 years ago... and it shows all over to me. One, the tub area is horrible. Iron and hard water from well so it's always staining reddish brown ... constant cleaning battle. And then the old tub walls are clearly showing signs of water damage. I attempted to remove the old wood trim and caulk around the tub walls and now I can't get new caulk to seal no matter what I do. I hate to tell my husband this cus of the cost but I really believe we need to completely gut the tub area and start new. With building material costs so high, I am scared to have this talk with him. But watching your video has helped to believe we can do the job and save on labor costs hopefully.
You make me smile knowing theres hope. I remember when I first saw my steam shower before moving in our rehab hike. And I asked the project manager what kind of material they used on the ceiling as it was not tiled looked just like drywall, there didn’t even paint it with high gloss or something just bare looking. Anyways project manager said they used green board. I said that’s not waterproof, he responds it’s water resistant you’ll be fine. But I love the way you put it honestly and straight forward. It might be water resistant but not water proof it might be mold resistant but not mold proof, same result just longer to get there. Thanks Jeff I will share this with my new contractors.
You are the best at narrating these projects. Just bought our new dream home .And finding nightmares hiding everywhere I try to upgrade . I watch your videos numerous times to get into your mode . Thanks keep on helping us that can't afford a contractor for everything
Good simple and efficient method to remove both tiles and drywall at the same time. I highly recommend safety glasses for this job. Thanks for your uncomplicated instruction as well.
Thank your presentation is encouraging that I can go for it and get it done. Your words and method of teaching is calming and patient. Great teacher
Starting my bathroom demo tmrw I’m addicted to this channel.
You explained things really well. Thank you. Subscribed.
I have to thank you for these tips. I just started redoing my master shower and I followed your steps on scoring the silicone and drywall at the ceiling and tile lines and holy balls, it made it so much easier to remove. You are truly awesome! I have to also say, I love your smile! ;-)
Cheers Lisa, happy to help!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY I wish I could send you a picture of how well I did.
I know this is an older video of yours but I've watched a ton of them recently. I'm realllly stingy with my subscriptions but you really earned it after all the videos I've seen.
Awesome. There's was another video and the guy was showing us how to remove one piece of tile at a time with a chisel. I think it took him a while. Your method took out the whole wall of tile at a time in an hour. Thanks for tip and good the video.
Actually it takes about 15 minutes. Glad you like it.
I always love watching your videos. I was given a Safe-Step tub that I wanted to replace my old tub with, but I have cultured marble on the shower wall. I wanted to keep that. But the more videos I watch on removing my tub, I'm thinking there's no way I can remove my cultured marble off the wall and reinstall it, can I? Anyhow, thank you for all the DIY help as this middle-aged woman continues to renovate an entire house.
Do you have a video when you installed the new walls in this project?
Very instructive and helpful. One observation: why wasn’t the tub protected against any damage from tile shards, etc.?
This video is Great! Exactly the project that I have ahead, and in short order you gave me tons of data and the perfect examples I needed to understand what lies ahead and how I should proceed. I just gotta Subscribe to your channel now! Thanks for sharing your expertise.
Love all your videos. So many good tips. I don't start any project, even one I've done before, without first watching your related videos. The one about how to paint saved me tons of time and improved my painting skills immensely.
Now I am about to demo a small corner shower. A little worried because the tile stands proud of the wall by almost an inch, so I suspect it has a thick mortar bed under the tile, which might make your technique a bit more difficult. Not sure a hammer will penetrate so easily and the pieces are bound to be a lot more heavy. Time for some exploratory surgery, but there will be no turning back!
Hi Ken , if you have access from the back side of the wall then you can use a sledge to break off the cement wall and then just replace the drywall after to close the access point. it will save you hours of time.
Sometimes I wonder if they install one day, then demo the next to make it look so easy.
I hate re-watching this after I removed my shower. My drywall was all glued and nailed in. One wall had OSB behind it and it was glued to that as well, I was hammering on it thinking what the hell why is there support everywhere!? Anyway...I finally got it out after taking 3x as long as I thought it would take.
Thanks for the reply n I appreciate your honesty. We need more honest contractor like yourself to teach us how to do jobs the right way. Keep up the good work
Thanks for your comment. I enjoy seeing what other guys are doing out there as well. There is a ton to learn and share.
Great Video. I like watching your demos. One request, the background music is to loud, could you please reduce the volume.
What do you think about direct-to-stud tile wall surrounds? It seems like a DIY’ers dream come true (especially beginners), but is it too much of a dream come true where it’s just slowing down the moisture damage process?
Nice work. Attention to detail.
Good video. Wear safety glasses!
Really great video, as it's exactly what I'm facing now; bathroom tiles that won't chisel away and the drywall is extremely brittle. So I think replacing the wall would be the only solution
Definitely jerrico, when remodelling a bathroom I remove the entire wall 99 out of 100 times.
Home RenoVision DIY I thought so. Now just have to convince the owner.
What do you do if you have old bathroom cladding in large pieces? Thanks
3:11 safety squints, trade skill level +1
Cheers!
Haha I was thinking that too!
Really do like to watch your videos Jeff :-) Greetings from UK
Very helpful! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Time for me to do some demolition work! 👍
Have fun!
Excellent video. Thanks
Thanks Joe. we put out a new one every week on friday's
Awesome tutorial
Thank you. we have a new drywall and taping series coming out this spring. I hope you subscribed!
Where do get that fancy utily knife .
Hey Jeff, love your videos. When removing the bath tub, I know it’s important to shut off the main water valve to the house. Being a first timer demoing and renovating my bathroom, this process will take me two weeks. When can I turn on the water valve again for the rest of the house? How can I secure that line in the bathroom from causing flooding in my bathroom?
Turn off your water, do your demo, cleanly cut any water supply limes and cap them. Turn your water back on until it is time to address making those connections.
Metal mesh in my 1953 walls. So tough to remove!
Can you tile directly on the moisture resistant drywall?
I was thinking the same thing, wear your safety glasses good video still thanks!
Thanks, I do sometimes. Just not that day.
Hi Jeff, would you recommend to have a window in the bathroom or get rid of the window and completely seal off? I don’t like how my shower tub is next to the window. It create molds in the long run and leaking water. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks.
Hi Jeff, we are renovating our bathroom and we are trying to remove the tiles on the floor. There is cement underneath. What do you think the best way to approach this is? The tiles are really stuck on .. thanks
Good video...thanks
Great Video
Thanks Chera, we love to show these cool techniques that save a ton of time and clean up.
Good job however where's your safety glasses?
Would this method work with marble tiles as well?
Can you do a video on how to remove drywall to replace for remodel? You have a video, but it is on the bathroom wall.
I want to see removal with wall trimming
thank you ,...I am just about to do the same to my bathroom ,....now I can use this technique,.. less garbage to pick up,...keep up the good work.
don't forget to wear gloves. broken tile is sharp!
Thank You!!!
...what's it cost roughly for a remove tub, demo surround and add new tub and surround tiles...as you show in these videos?
What exactly did you use to cut the old wallboard? You didn't say and I couldn't really see it.
I hope you are changing the tub LOL No protection for the TUB ? Its going to get scratched and damaged for sure
5:25 in a other video you did that was much longer this about 3 hours, you said black wasn't mold.
Good technique for removing the wall. Can I use this method to remove walls with wire lathe and du rock cement board? Thanks.
You could try however I find that traditional concrete walls are removed easily from the other side with a sledgehammer.
Ottawa Design and Build Renovations they makes a lot of sense when the outside wall is brick and the opposite walls are bedrooms and closets.
Tile is porous?
So why are tiles used in showers?
I really appreciate your videos, very informative. great job.
We have a plastic pvc like or carbon fiber wall surround. how would you recommend taking that off in comparison to the tile? do we have to cut the walls around it or would we be able to get it off in pieces like this? thanks!
Traditionally the plastic wall surround is attached with adhesive to drywall. Cut any caulking and you should have no trouble removing the plastic first and then the drywall.
How would you remove the tiles if it was green board in the back & didn't need to be replaced ?
use a chisel. Cheers!
I have a tub surround the is missing the small bar. So the are 2 holes where water can get into the wall. What are my options for replacing that bar. Currently have have the holes taped so I want to find a fix soon.
you can use grout or silicone or install another bar!
Can you score thru grout????
Depends how thick the grout line is and what type of blade you are using. Might be able to use a chisel.
Great vid!
Thanks Kathy, appreciate the comment
Nice video but why no eye protection? One flying shard....
I just bought a house it's 80yrs old I'm thinking of doing this myself should I have to replace the sheet rock if it's not damaged or is that a no brainer
definitely remove the wall board and start again.
Iyanna Smith put cement board then start fresh.
Would you recommend bath fitters liner system? They have no lip on there liners, so water can get between liner and tub. If not can you come down to Windsor, and do my tub surround? How much would something like what you did on these videos cost? Just labour cost?
bathtub liner companies charge around 3000 and up, and that doesn't include new plumbing. If you want a good job you should be prepared to pay a qualified installer fair wages for 3 days to complete this project.
Sorry I can't get down to Windsor and help. My clients have to be within 1 hr drive for now.
What is a fair wage? One guy said 1200 dollars, but maybe thought about it again and never showed up. Seeing your video, and others I feel I can do it myself. Just wondering what a fair wage would be in your professional opinion. And in your opinion, do you think there will always be some mold behind the tile. Mine has been in use for 18 years now. So, what do you think of putting a liner over top, good or bad idea?
anything 18 years old has mold. You will be disappointed if you don't change your wall surround. You could install a "plastic surround" but change the drywall first.
Hi. Question for you. Is there a chance I can just remove tile by tile then patch and mortar for new tile layout ? Or should I just remove the drywall like in your video . What are the advantages and disadvantages of these applications. Thanks in advance
Unless you are confident that the wall board is cement then I would remove the whole thing. It will be beyond repair otherwise and a huge waste of time. I can remove the wall and install a new one in less time than it take sto chisel away. Plus i get to inspect the vapor barrier and insulation which is often poorly done in these areas.
Home RenoVision DIY it's all drywall behind and the mortar is white . So on not exactly sure
Vova ******* get rid of it.
where are your eye glasses lol
It is true that glasses are good protection for this type of work however, I am guilty of rushing the job and didn't have them with me for the shoot.
I will try to be more safety conscious in the future. Thanks
And a GOOD dust mask!!!
And were is the protection for the TUB Its going to get scratched and damaged for sure
That was the first thing I noticed too!
Very helpful video thank you
Glad you liked it. Cheers
Great work... but No Safety Glasses? Living dangerously.
I have heard this before. Truth is, I work for myself and I use glasses when i feel that i may be in harms way. This type of simple demo has never caused me even a scratch when done surgically like this.
Ottawa Design and Build Renovations just takes one sliver in your eye....
Lectures how sharp the tile is, but no safety glasses.
pro tip : you can watch series on Flixzone. Been using them for watching all kinds of movies recently.
@Josue Conner definitely, been using Flixzone} for months myself =)
@Josue Conner Definitely, I have been using flixzone} for years myself :D
Great Video Love for you to have your eyes for the next one Eye protection please
Thanks Matt, this video is however 3 years old and I still have my eyes. Cheers!
Do you have the video for this work done ? （Finish）
what is the actual name for that chisel/hammer looking tool that you used? thanks
the stanley wrecking bar
Ottawa Design and Build Renovations as far as removal what about panels that have been glued to the wall? any advice appreciated.
Shouldnt you protect the tub?
If you are planning on saving it sure.
Isn't it going to create a problem with condensation - sandwiching your drywall between 2 moisture barriers?
the problem you are referring too is when you have 2 layers of plastic overlapping each other. This direct contact causes moisture build up. The use of a moisture barrier on either side of the drywall does not have the same effect . no problem using schluter water proofing system.
Thanks for the quick answer! I am enjoying your videos as I research my upcoming DIY shower remodel. Lots of conflicting info out there, but I have settled on Kerdi system for my waterproofing. My own background includes finish carpentry, so I am well aware that watching a experienced pro install the system will not necessarily reflect my own experience.... I can imagine if the Kerdi doesn't get lined up right and you have to move it, it could become a hot mess very quickly. Have you ever had to pitch a piece of the membrane because it folded up or got messed up as you were attempting to place it?
Hi Ruban, sorry for the delay. Kerdi does not act like wallpaper. It is similar to installing a vinyl floor. You can roll it out and pull it off and reset it with minimal problems. If you are concerned simply cut the pieces to fit each side of the wall and use the 2È overlap rule on any joint. The waterproofing is in the overlapping so as long as you keep all joints to 2 inches in all directions you will be fine. Good luck.
Keep it up love your videos great ideas for the dyu
Thank you Carlos.
This video is good, EXCEPT for the VERY obnoxious "music". Oh my. Painful.
Coooooooooool 👍
Cheers!
Jeff I will soon remodel my fully tiled. walk in shower. It is quite squared! 34" x77" floor is nicely sloped , house built in1988. I'm original owner builder was a plumber. mold now on bottom perimeter on 3 sides looking for your help. I don't want to make a disaster! sure need your help. do you know when you may tackle such a project. thanks Jeff!! do you have a Patron page
Thank you. Explained so that even a caveman (or a programmer) can do it!
sometimes a difficult job can be simplified , although not as fun to watch as all those crazy demolition junkies on t.v.
Would you still recommend this technique for removing the tile if the shower wall has a bank in it? My shower is up against where the roof is angled and starts to bank toward the ceiling about 6 feet up.
sure your wall board is still attached the same way. Just bust the wall into manageable sizes . usually a 3' x 3' piece is about 30 lbs
what if it's cement board or old thick 3/4 plaster from the 50's?
cement board works in exactly the same manner, just more brut strength required. when removing old plaster it is easier because the pieces of drwall that were plastered are small rectangular shaped with nails not screws. they pop off with ease.
+Ottawa Design and Build Renovations Thanks for the info. I had to cut out parts of damaged wall it was the sheets of drywall with plaster like you said nailed to studs. it was 3/4'' thick. the easiest solution seems to be too hang 1/2'' then 1/4'' over that to repair the areas. If i find the batbtub walls are also that thick when I demo this weekend do you suggest shimming the studs with shims ripped down from 2x4 or hanging 2 sheets of cement board in the same manner as the patches I'll be doing?
it may be easiest to use 1/4 inch plywood and then your 1/2 " material. The other option is to laminate 2x4 to existing studs and re frame the tub area to create a perfectly square and level environment before tiling. This can make tiling really easy if your walls are crooked. Good luck
I would suggest sing 1/4 inch plywood first. it holds a screw quite nicely and easy to cut and install.
breaking ceramic without eye protection????
Multimaster tool.
for taking out shower walls, what are you holding big stock in the blade company!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY no not at all. I dont even own one. Lol Just makes cuts cleaner u fool
How do we remove a tub surround that isn't tile?
I am preety sure we did a video on that subject. yes ...It was a reality renovision episode about a shower for a wheelchair client.
I was thinking the same thing.. ceramic dust in the eyes.
No Just the occasional chip. You blink and its gone.!
Eye protection on the incredibly dangerous shards please!!!
Dangerous is crossing the street! the tile at least isn't reading emails!
EYE PRO! WHERE IS YOUR EYE PROTECTION?
If your keeping the tub why isn't there something to protect it from tumbling tile chips that can ding the tub? Put cardboard inside or tub liner.
This tub was actually getting removed. But an excellent point.
Irresponsible showing hacking off tile without saftey goggles and gloves
How can you prevent that disgusting black mold stuff that builds up along the grout?
Don't ever use the shower.Just kidding, you need to waterproof your walls before you tile.
bleach kills the mold if you already have tile on the wall.
Dude safety glasses
Major safety issue without glasses.
Where are the Safety glasses and 😷
It is difficult to talk when |i am wearing a diaper on my face.
Home RenoVision DIY 😳😳😳😳🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈😁😁😁😁😁you are right 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗I love your videos .
Careful of the seams when removing and carrying those tile and drywall peices they can collapse and hurt you
I know you are a pro but glasses would have been setting a good example for your viewers.
odb why are the guys on tile geeks always bashing you?
I don't have any idea or knowledge who they are. The name kinda says it all. They specialize in one area of construction. I can appreciate that not all of my techniques are in synergy with the way they operate. I am trying to teach DIY'ers how to do things themselves. This requires simplifying the tools and materials which probably offends their sense of professionalism.
Ottawa Design and Build Renovations yeah love the channel im like you i like doing more then one trade and seems like people who specialize only on one thing have always something to say
They seem to get nervous when The simplicity of the trade is exposed. I get it, although this is the information age. Time to get the word out about the tips and tricks to make everyone's life easier.
Ottawa Design and Build Renovations yeah its a group of tile setters and thats how i came about your channel they were talking about your ditra method installations i guess even bad publicity is good lol love the channel you can always learn something new from others 1000 ways to skin a cat

where is your safety glasses , have you ever tore out a floated concrete shower
Yes, it is a smelly job! I didn't have them for shooting that day. Life must go on.
Strange they didn't use sheet rock.
That is actually sheet rock covered in tile.
Oh, okay. That's explains the weight.
I must say, great video! You are keeping it real...
Thanks, we try to film on real projects instead of my garage.
I've notice that you weren't wearing safety glasses while you were demolishing the bathroom surround . You should for your own safety.
More to show other people that they should use them. This video is from our early days of shooting. We only had 2 days to do this whole project and I didn't have time to run to the store. That's why I looked so tired by the end of it.
No safety glasses. You are setting an example for people buddy. Tile shatters and can easily puncture your eye.
Get rid of that annoying background stupid noise!
Apparently he forgot that you're suppose to take out the side walls first. Kind of hard to take someone's advise when they don't use it themselves.
