this is my old guest bathroom that i'll be remodeling entirely
hey guys welcome to daddicated my name is andy and let's get right into it
first things first i removed everything from the bathroom and laid out the
blanket into the tub for easier cleanup during the demolition process
next i removed all the old faucets and valve
the valve looked really old and rusty and needed to be replaced then
i removed the shower head and began the demolition process
for all the detailed instructions on each step of the remodel process i have
a video playlist that you can check out in the cards or the links in the
description below along with all the materials and tools i
used for this bathroom remodel next i installed the cement board
i made provisions for two notches in the left wall
then i had to replace the copper plumbing with cpvc
i had to move the valve a bit higher since i'm making this into a shower
instead of a tub and yes i know i could have used pex
tubing to do this but here in florida it's common to use cpvc for plumbing
check your codes in your state when you're doing any type of plumbing or
electrical work make sure you follow per code cpvc was
pretty easy to use and i was happy with the results that
came out next i redid the drain i bought this square
drain and decided to keep it closer to the shower instead of
putting in the middle and this way i can avoid
destroying the concrete and re-piping the entire
drain then came the waterproofing for the shower walls
i bought this net tape and sealed all the seams and used aqua defense to paint
all over the joints and screws someone recommended to use cement first
to cover up all the seams but i think that's a bit of an overkill
but it never hurts to go above and beyond
we bought our shower tile from floor into court and begin the tiling process
the key to tiling a shower is making sure you measure everything
out and plan it out before starting then it's just a time-consuming process
to tile all the walls it took me a really long time to finish
the shower because i had to make a lot of cuts
because of the style of the tile i used but eventually
it was all done
next was the floor demolition i used a jackhammer and removed all the old tile
then i used these pavers to build a shower curb
it was pretty easy and straightforward to make the curb using the same thinset
that was used for the floor tile next i removed the mirror
by prying it off the wall and destroyed it with my hammer
so i can fit it into the trash bin then i removed my sink and the vanity
first i removed all the plumbing and the sink drain
under the sink i struggled a bit with removing the metal flanges because i
didn't have the right tools then i cut around the vanity
and unscrewed the bolts and hauled the vanity away
next i removed the toilet i turned off the water drained out the tank
and unscrewed the bolts and hauled the toilet away
then i placed it in my yard and had a little fun destroying it with my oldest
daughter
then i removed the rest of the tile under the toilet
cleaned the floor from all the debris and the floor was ready for tiling but
first i filled the drain area with some cement and started working on
prepping the floor for mud set i marked all my walls to which level
i'll have my mud set and begin to level the shower floor
mixing the mud set is fairly easy you want to make sure it's like a
snowball type of consistency and you just go for it for detailed
instructions you can check out the links in the description below
then i put some more thinset on the areas that had imperfections
and began to tile the bathroom floor i used half inch trowel
so that it was easy to level the tile while installing it
i used the small mosaic pieces that i used on the notch on the walls
to make a transition between my wood floors in the hallway
and the bathroom tile and it turned out great for the toilet hole
i made a paper template to help me outline the hole on the tile
this made it so much easier making the cuts and making it
right the first try it's typically easier to lay everything out
in a small area like this prior to putting the cement down this way
you can do all your cuts down and then when you're putting the cement you can
just go all the way without having to pause to
make the cuts next i took the aqua defense and some
waterproofing membrane and started to paint the floor in the
shower with the aqua defense i did the first coat
and then applied the waterproofing membrane in
all the corners then i applied the waterproofing paint
on top of the membrane for a final coat
then it was time to tile the shower floor again i first
laid everything out and did all my cuts and then started to apply the cement for
a permanent installation
after that came tiling the shower curb again i cut all the pieces for the sides
first then installed them on thinset
then i cut and laid out all the top pieces along with the edge piece
and then install them on thinset as well next i started to grout the bathroom
floor first you clean it then mix up some grout
to this consistency and then go to town spreading it out once you complete a
small area you want to wash it off i used sand and
grout for the bathroom and shower floors then i turned off my circuit breaker
removed and removed the light fixture these
hollywood light fixtures are fairly easy to remove
after that i patched up all the holes and painted the walls before installing
the new light fixture next i had two big holes in the drywall
from removing the towel holder i used a small piece of wood and screwed
it into the wall from the inside then i used a piece of drywall and
screwed into the wood then i patched up but it looked like
crap so i decided to get one of these templates from amazon and try to match
the texture it didn't turn out perfect but it was
good enough to to blend in next i bought this vanity
from lowe's and had to make some minor modifications to
allow access to the valve and to the drain pipe
i drilled out two small holes and then used a jigsaw to cut
the opening for the drain pipe i used the hole saw
drill bit to make the hole for the shutoff valve
i used two screws in three different places to hold the vanity
to the wall prior to screwing it in i made sure it was leveled next i cut
off my old shutoff valves and prepped the
piping and installed new new valves then
i installed a new wax ring and a new toilet
the new toilet was a delta brand so i followed the instruction that came with
the toilet you can watch the video in the
description if you have a similar toilet i hooked up the water line
and tested to make sure there was no leaks
next i started to clean the shower tile mixed some unsanded drought
and began to grout the shower walls
then i washed the axis grout off touched up the many spots that i missed and the
shower grouting was done
next i got this three-piece jacuzzi faucet for the sink
laid out all the components out and installed the faucet with the valves
the installation was pretty straightforward you can just follow the
instructions that come with the faucet that you buy
the faucet came with this drain transition piece that was pretty easy to
install then i started to plumb the drain i
bought one of these drain kits and pieced it all together i had to trim
the drain pipe to make it fit better i also had to buy
this extension to complete the drain then i ran the
water to check for leaks and is ready to go next i installed the
shower head i used a multi valve to have the ability
to switch between a handheld shower head and a fixed one or have the ability
to run them both then i installed the shower
valve cover and the handle next i tested the shower
head and make sure there was no leaks next i removed the old medicine cabinet
by taking out the door then taking these four screws out
i also had to pry off the border around the medicine cabinet before completely
removing it
i installed this glass one instead
the last thing i installed was this big glass sliding door i bought it online
and came in this big crate so here's the hardware that it came with
and here's the handle that it came with and then i just followed the
instructions that it came with to do the glass door installation
the door turned out great and it wasn't too difficult to install
well that's it guys here's what the bathroom ended up looking like i hope
