Love your videos! What tile cutter are you using? I dont see it in your Amazon shop!
Home RenoVision DIY you’ve just answered my first question! Much appreciated. I plan to do this in my kitchen, with the electric turned off, lol, and will let you know how it goes. So thrilled about this!
For the tile over tile can you use mosaic tile or does it have to be ceramic?
Thank for this video, what happen if the existing surface is vinyl ( with some crack) do we need to remove the vinyl? Or keep it and use the Mapei product?
Thank you
Love your video alot
Jeff, I genuinely like you. You seem like an affable guy with good humor who enjoys his profession without taking it too seriously. Thanks for making these videos. They're a pleasure to watch and learn from.
You’re a boss!! Free flowing, funny, and professional with these presentations. Makes me feel confident with my DIYs!!
Yep☺
Can I just say how awesome this is! I purchased EVERYTHING in this video and did a subway tile over my old kitchen tile! Went exactly as yours. Thanks for this video!!
Great job! would love it if you send us a pic on instagram. You can be an inspiration. Cheers Renae!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY will do now! In the process of doing the grout now... after watching your stop messing around with grout video😁
Where did you find the Mapei ultralight Mortar??....I'm in Ontario and Homedepot or Lowe's don't carry it!
What were the metal corner things he used called?
@@mcydesigns1 You can buy it at Floor & Decor. You can even have it delivered to your doorstep. That's what I did.
Hello Jeff. The 583 dislikes must be all contractors. Very well made video. Direct, concise, and to the point. You explain and educate, before, during, and after. Thank you! God bless you and your family and everyone and their families on your channel!
You are my favorite youtuber... soothing to listen to, not annoying whatsoever. And you are major informative, my wife thinks I know how to do everything.. I don't, I just watch your videos when I do home reno
This is the best DIY channel I’ve ever come across.You have a great personality sir. Thank you 👍
I agree, just found him today and I am amazed !!
This is why this Contractor--builder/home Renovator/Home improvement expert, is a winner! he has integrity and he genuinely cares about advising people with the pertinent details. Also, he's professional and neat with his projects.
I've been sitting on a beautiful new tile backsplash for 3 years now because of the cost of hiring somebody to do it for me. I thought the old tile would have to be removed, etc. and all that goes with it. Now I think I can do this by myself, just following what you did, and finally get that new backsplash installed!
I did this with a similar product for my shower and tub surround. No demolition and works like a charm in a wet area. I've been using this process for 15 years.
Jeff, I am a do it yourselfer Gal and I truly appreciate your videos. Thank you for your time and effort.
There are places on the bucket lid to make 1/4-1/2” cuts.This allows the lid to slide over the lip on the bucket. Ive hung wallpaper for 43 years, and it took me a long time to finally figured out what those places on the lid were for. I love your videos and have watched quite a few. When I prepped for wallpaper, I had to float walls and fix joints. I wasn’t very fast but I learned a lot watching the videos. Now I’m going to tape and float my sons kitchen. Thanks again!
It's a rare circumstance I would tile over tile on a FLOOR, let alone a backsplash, so nice job showing it's possible...saves a TON of headache with demo !
I don't ever go over tile. There is no way to guarantee the last install
StarrTile
Over a floor is one thing but a tile on a backsplash is much safer if the tile your going over is flat not loose and with primer etc.. plus there is zero foot traffic on the area obviously... not like a floor which I’ve tiled over meself before and i think You have a video we’re you tiled over floor tile aswell if I’m not mistaken.. all depend on the job an circumstances of the underneath tile etc.. I like some of yr vids buddy and your honesty in critiquing yr own bathroom which would do my head in with some of the decisions you made but something tells me you got most of them materials FREE.. and used what you had.. available...😉👍
Thank you this is exactly what I was looking for. I was going to tile a thin sub board and glue it up but you just solved everything. Old school dad was trying to get me to pull off the existing tile because that was the correct way. OMG welcome "new products" . Already looked on Lowes and this product is around $32.00 for a gallon. You have the gift of gab so explaining was amazing.
'International brotherhood of guys who like to tile'!!! Priceless! XD
Cheers Christina!
Jeff, you did a great job explaining the process which makes me more confortable to have a go at it
Love Love Love your diy videos! So easy to follow with clear concise instructions! Kudos to you Jeff and who cares what those "contractors" think - just keep those videos coming because they are a blessing to all of us diy folks! THANK YOU!
Jeff I just started watching your channel and I want to thank you for all the great Ideas to save time and money. I especially like the fact that you are not afraid of sharing the deep contractor secrets.
Jeff, you can open that can top easier by cutting the slots on the cover with a blade, then it's easy to remove the top..Same for paint buckets, removing the tops..they also have a special tool with a hook, that grabs the cover after you cut the slots and pulls it up easily :)..You are doing a great job :) !!
OMG, I have been stressing about what to do with my backsplash. This is an excellent idea and I love how you trimmed the edges, I was wondering how you were going to close that gap. Thank you so much, this was great.
This video inspired me to redo our kitchen before painting. Your tips and advice were near perfect. I used the same supplies and steps it came out great.
We went from dark brown square turd tile to white beveled subway tile.
Thanks for this vid and the inspiration!
I've been in the trade for 5 years now. Learnt so much from this guy, showing all the old timers new techniques!!! Thanks
Great video! The only thing that has been holding me back from installing subway tile was all of the demo work that I thought I had to do. This changes everything!
Get er dun!!!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY Can the same process work over painted drywall? Wanted to do the small area between my kitchen counters and cabinets but don't want to remove the drywall if possible. Can I primer over the painted drywall? Or does it need to be sanded down? Removed all together?
And just a side not, your videos are amazing! Had a leaking shower upstairs and remodeled it last weekend and did my first tile job thanks to watching your video on shower tiles. Just a simple marble ceramic tile in a subway pattern, but turned out pretty good (not as nice as yours or nearly as fast, but I'll take it for my first try)
Sir, thank you so much for this video. That Eco Prime Grip saved me so much trouble with a job. I would've never had the trust in just priming a wall to hold the new tile. That stuff really does work. Thanks again.
Well done brother. I'm looking forward to doing my own backsplash for my kitchen. It's amazing how something so relatively simple and easy to do, can be so costly for homebuyers who are duped by their builders to take their cheap products and very little labour as upgrades. 😒 Thanks again for your help brother. I appreciate it.
I’ve laid stone or ceramic tile four times and it’s my least favourite Reno to do-because of pulling up the old flooring/shower tile, etc. I have all the supplies to redo our backsplash(leftover from our last house’s kitchen Reno) but didn’t want to go through the disruption of tearing out the old. This video is such good news!
"Technology, not Technique". Now here's a man that knows "time is money" Bravo, Sir.
Hi Jeff!
First I hope this comment find you healthy. 2nd I wanted to say I have watched days of your videos. Im building a not so tiny tiny house and anytime I get in a little bit of a situation I find you on TH-cam. Love your videos and thanks for all the special tips.
People look at me as if I was crazy when I told them that I was installing my new Mosiac Tile over the existing tile. Regardless of what opinions I was hearing I went ahead and bought the Eco Prime Grip and tried your method, and let me tell you, it worked out GREAT! The EPG really does stick to non-porous material and adhesive mortar by Mapei bonded to it great as well. Really happy about the results. Thanks for taking the time in teaching us on how to do the almost impossible. P.S. I also left the power on, yikes lol!
Hello Joe, what tile was originally on the wall? I put on marble mosaic with the incorrect mortar and grout and it totally changed the tile. (DISTORTED, MULTILATED, DISCOLOURED, CORRUPTED) so now I want to put the same tile over it with improve mortar and grout. I'm worried it will be too thick, but after 10 months of looking for tile, this tile goes really well with my refaced cupboards and new laminate countertop so I would love to keep this. Maybe I should take it all out and redo? Do you think subway tile would be a better choice over the marble mosaic? Would greatly appreciate hearing from you. I am still waiting to hear from Jeff too.
Great info. I followed your advice and paid the hefty $40 for the Eco Prim Grip - it did work. I wish they offered it in smaller containers. BTW - Home Depot doesn't carry it. Only Lowes, at least that's how it is in our area. And no Ultra lite, either. So, I used the usual mortar and it worked. I got the tiles done. Looks great. Thank you.
How did the tile holding up? Ian about to lay tiles over tiles too. Some of my friends can’t believe I am doing it they don’t think that is the legit way!
OMG 😲 So I am having a house built, my first home! It was going to cost me extra money (of course) to get the backsplash that I wanted, so I decided to stick with the same tile I am getting in the floor which is a 16x16 tile... on the backsplash 😖 I was planning to move in and immediately tear it out and put up what I want, THIS RIGHT HERE is gonna save not only my money but my sanity!!!! Thank you sooo much!
those bucket lids have indentations, if you razor down through those indentation to the edge the lid comes off much easier.
You make everything look so easy ... Your so calm and laid back your a pleasure to watch ... Thank you 🤗
I keep running into this guy on the youtube. Love him. So happy when I search some DIY stuff and its Jeff!
I love your DIY videos. As a homeowner you’ve definitely saved my family and I money 🤑🤑🤑. During the unfortunate quarantine we’ve used many of your videos to do some home improvement projects. 😊 Thank you!
I just love watching your videos. You make everything you do so easy. I wish i can do them as easy as you do. Or you can come over our house and renovate our place... anyway great job as usual!!
I was a professional house painter for 49 yrs. And though I didn't like getting roped into all around handyman style jobs, I would occasionally let my guard down and say yes to things outside of my usual realm of services offered. Kind of depended on just how much there was to it.
I only did a few small tile jobs in my day, and so can't say I'm knowledgeable in the field. I do however appreciate just how cool that primer you used to get the new tile to bond was, and i really also liked that mastic, you're right, it's thick and yet has an open time which keeps it from setting too quickly! There's nothing like a little wiggle room that you get from a forgiving product that allows room for mistakes or just playing around with it until you've got it exactly like you like it. The glue gun is also a nice touch for quick and and easy installation of your aluminum trim! Overall, a very smooth and slick job, altogether!looked good and I enjoyed learning about the new technology, as you put it! Keep 'em coming.
Lol i siad the same thing ,,,we dont need videos we need more Jeffs,, he will never be out of work.
You’re such a natural in front of the camera. So glad I found this video I finally have a case to redo my kid’s hideous bathroom where the previous owner tiled ugly floral tiles ABOVE a wood paneling!
Absolutely great advice !!! Saving me time, money, hassle and labor !!! Thanks !!! Using hot glue on the edge piece reminds me of the movie, Matilda !!! when the used car salesman dad used industrial strength glue to attach a bumper to a car !!! Lol
THIS IS FANTASTIC! I have plaster walls abd no contractor wants to deal with it. I am definately going to do this method. YOU ARE A TILE-HERO. Thank you~
Where was this video before I demo’d my WHOLE bathroom
Lol aw man hahaha
same.
Fr gonna be me..good thing I found this
@@kimcircagirl474 LOL!!! That is HILARIOUS!
didn’t he mention that there’s too much moisture there for this method?
You are a genius!! I am very handy but just dont know of all the different products out there, this is amazing..I just added more cabinets and wanted to use different tile for backsplash but DREADED cutting everything out. WOW what a video. Great job!
you need to cut a little on the sides of lid where the markings are at that way you can flex the lid i use them alot
Thay sell a lid wrench also fo a couple of bucks
esli gonzalez - I agree. You take a set of diagonal pliers or snips and cut the indents around the lid then they pry open easy as can be.
Right after the says he doesn't need technique, he felt the need for it. 😂
@@rickcrawford7307 I worked an a&w and they used one for their pickle buckets :)
Wow...you just saved a bunch a people a pile of money. GREAT video Jeff!
The eco prime grip cover has vertical lines, cut them with a blade and you won't have a hard time opening it.
How can you not love this guy?
Love the aluminum angle trim! 👍🏼
You are absolutely best in explaining each little detail that would matter to most beginner You are making things simple and fun,,,,
Best video I’ve seen on this topic! Thank you
Am I the only one who wants to work for Jeff just to pick his brain and learn as much as I can?
Thanks! OMG I love this video, I was ready to start hacking away at the old backsplash tile, perfect timing for me to see this!
Couple of questions for you,
Would this method work for 1/4 inch thick glass tile?
Would the back buttering work for the whole area?
Thank you for explaining why you do what you do! I appreciate it!
We need more people like you in this world.
Thanks to your video and teaching I just finished my backsplash took me 2days lol for the first time I did it 💪🏼
You are awesome. This is exactly what I been waiting to do. Quick question, I have glass backsplash, does the process is the same?
Same question
I had a nauseating mirror backsplash and I literally just crossed my fingers 4 years ago and did a subway tile backsplash right over the top !!!!! And it’s worked perfectly- Just like he said we can rely on technology now more than technique. When I started I had no one to turn to to ask if this would actually work or if the tiles would just slip off the mirror. But I also knew I couldn’t smash the mirror and rip it out before I applied tile because… Glass shards everywhere!!! Anyway I’m happy to say it’s gorgeous and it’s held up fine and it hasn’t slipped at all and it’s a great improvement - thanks for this video!! I wish I had that primer tip, but it was fine.
Came across this by chance. It's just what I needed to complete my project. thank you!
Hi Marilyn, glad to be of some help. feel free to ask questions if you run into any challenges. Cheers!
this man was amazing, i have also many talent for everything, he is inspiring me to be better..
"Now, if you don't feel comfortable playing around with live power, turn it off!" 😂 You're cracking me up, man! LOL
Glad I saw this. I have the same situation and was thinking how do I go about tiling over this fake tile board without removing my cabinets and taking this off without destroying the wall. I find this video on TH-cam, Thank you sir.
Thank you for this "Great info; "Home RenoVision..."
I'm a retired & "Body Broken" multi app: home reno contractor who's used proper procedures, tools, safety, materials and technics, for the past 45 odd yrs.
I have to Say...I couldn't see "Any Faults or Problems with the processes you used!
PS. It takes' but a "Little Trip"...To connect with "Live or Die Power!" Eh!
PPS. I'll be using this tiling process "next week!"
Thank's Again...(On Ca.)
i was about to take a sledgehammer to my kitchen wall until i saw your video. I can't thank you enough for posting this. This has saved me tons of work taking out the wall with the tile that was absolutely not wanted to be seperated from this drywall :) AND putting a new drywall in... I will embark on this project tiling over the old stuff!!! Thanks again for your funny insightfull video's - you are awesome!
One of the best videos I've seen by you.
Thanks Alex, we are trying to get better each week. Cheers!
Can you use the same process to tile over the cheap contractor grade white 4x4 tiles in a tub and shower surround?
Use a tub opener, we have them in the uk. Just a shaped plastic handle like a bottle opener
When opening your prime grip pail...there are small slots around the entire lid..get a five in one painters tool, an use the sharp pointed side of the tool to vertically make a slit in each groove!… yur lid will come off easily!
Hi, I wanted to thank you for the fantastic content... because of you, I have successfully tiled my bathroom and it looks great! Thanks again :)
Not really fond of the metal frame on the exposed edges. Any other suggestions to cover the exposed edge? Thanks in advance. I was about to start demo’ing current backsplash and this looks fantastic
Thanks for all the great videos! Quick question here! *** Quick background: I just got a new apartment and I am trying to renovate it in the most efficient and cost effective way. A part of my project is tile over tile! I have zero experience in tiling, but I am a quick learner. I also DIY absolutely everything that I can! *** Here is the question: You use different material for tiling in different videos, for example, type 1 adhesive, ultralite pro mortar, and cement. How do I know which one best fits my project?
Again, thanks for all the great videos! I am learning so much from you!
Can you make a video about how to do shiplap and plywood on walls please
One of these days!
I'd be totally loving that!
Thanks for educating homeowners who want to know how to dyi!
These videos are great! Question: the cement, is that one you could use in a shower, too? In an effort to safe on buying multiple adhesive compounds.
thank you for this ... you've helped me prove to my husband that we can tile over our ugly tile backsplash
Haha same here !! Best feeling ever lol
My existing back-splash is sheet arborite or formica (same as and matched the old counters) which is very well adhered to a plaster & lathe wall. Probably installed in the late 60's. The formica sheet even extends under the upper cabinets, so I'd have to start by cutting it out with a multi-tool. Plaster & lathe removal is much nastier than drywall removal and then I'd have to deal with the thickness differences to install new drywall. Until now, that's why I have never replaced it. Would the MAPEI Eco Prim Grip work as well over the formica for a back-splash tile similar to yours?
Love you how you took your time and gave precise and detailed, step by step instructions. Makes me extremely confident that I can do this. Thank you. Awesome tutorial.😉
You can do it for sure. Cheers!
Can I use the same product in the shower tiles? Like the cement and the prim?
He has another video showing how to tile over time in the shower area and it's slightly different because you have to control moisture too so check that video out and then do it.
I did the same thin in my bathroom amazing .
Love your channel i saved a lot of money.
Congratulations, that is why we are her.Cheers!
That little old microwave looks like it don't owe you nothing, someone should ship you a new one in gratitude for your great videos.
great idea with the aluminum trim at the end. much easier than the trim you embed under the outside edge....welll done dude.
Saves on demo and landfill. Great video
and time and money. Cheers!
Can this be done in a bathroom shower. Would the tile stay on the wall?
This was very simple, easy to understand and his instructions are perfect.
This is insane. This is exactly what I am about to do at my house.
Cheers! Have fun with it.
I wanna see
JBratt how did it go?
Did you do it
do not do it your self you need a tiler videos are not meant to destroy jobs
thank you so much for the great information. Husband tiled kitchen backsplash, did a great job, but want to change, and this is s great way to do it!! thank you again!
little tip .. if you wet the kitchen counter a bit the garbage bag will stick way better.
And that my friends is how you teach!! Fantastic Job Jeff!
I love your vid. I really like saving the customer added mess and expense. The bare aluminum edging is not for me. Now Schluter sells a vast selection of beautiful edging that would enhance your tile job.
I used a Schluter edge on my backsplash and it was easy and looks beautiful. But nothing for nothing what Jeff used for that small space cost probably a tenth of a piece of Schluter edging.
This guys is so good at explaining!!!
Thanks Kat!
Fantastic video! You've inspired me to tackle my backsplash myself! However I've got 1"x2" glass tile with a lot of wide grout lines - is it the same procedure?
Man. I wish I had watched this one as well after I watched your subway tile backsplash video. I would have known to push the tiles away and prevent adhesive in the grout lines. It was not a bad job for laying tiles for the first time. All thanks to you.
Kind regards.
Thanks David, so much to share so little time. Cheers!
I do this whenever I feel that my room is too big.
Ha ha ha, 1/4 of an inch too big!!
LOL!
you are an excellent teacher.
2:00...the magic of static electricity
This looks STUNNING!!
A few questions...
For someone renting an extremely outdated home (with the landlords approval, of course)
1. Can Peel & Stick Backsplash be placed over existing kitchen tile backsplash?
2. What’s an affordable & durable way to update tile countertops?
3. The kitchen flooring is laminate or vinyl with tears, it’s outdated & ugly... What is an affordable way to update it?
4. The kitchen cabinets have multiple layers of paint (they look terrible) how can I affordably update them?
5. The bathroom - the entire shower is cover in yellow/brown tiles as well as the Countertop & Backsplash on the vanity... how can I update those affordably with something durable?
Hope to get a response, thanks in advance!!
all of that information is in the videos. the secret to affordability is to do it yourself. Cheers!
Why did you not put spacers between the side by side tiles?
He's just done it a lot and doesn't feel the need. I would do it if I was you, doesn't take any extra time really.
THANKYOU!! I'm just thinking of redoing my backsplash and I'll try this!!
This reminds me of the Red Green Show...
Duct tape Forever!
Absolutely adore the explaination the details the ease.
Glad to hear that Elizabeth. Cheers!
That was awesome..man! I didn't know you could do that.that may really come in handy.great job bro that looks really good too.. # RenoNinja strikes again.haters gonna hate.lol
Sometimes simple is best. Cheers!
Funny how he keeps saying this is a painless install, But he is crunching a hell of a lot of numbers and trade tricks that would take a first timer a week to do...this guy is super intelligent
Thanks brother. Saved me 1500....
How dare you not assist me in my endeavors to siphon money. How. Dare. You.
LOL love that comment. Cheers!
awesome!
lol
Troupster fellow Troup here.
Must siphon money. MUST break all the walls down... xD
Really admire your honesty and secret sharing - bring in my backsplash project 👍🏻
Rub vaseline around the edge of the top to keep it from drying shut.
That’s what she said ;-)
Your video as encouraged us to do our kitchen, thanks so much for sharting
Literally has blown my mind, thamnks!!!
