Often times we are working within a budget on remodeling projects or home repairs.
DIY tile reglazing became the answer after a bit of t crossing and i dotting. So in order to get the best bang for our buck, the shower that needed a leak fixed in the wall will get partially rehabbed and then reglazed.
The first task @ hand was to exposed the dripping shower valve and
replace with a new single handle mix version by Delta, then raising the shower head higher for less bending while bathing.
But, before we could start setting tile, we had to install a shower valve, lathe the shower wall and scratch and brown coat the type-s mortar base per exact waterproofing and tile adhesion.
The bathroom tile my clients choose for this was bought @ Home Depot and came in 8x8 boxes of 32 count. Smooth faced ceramic bathroom tile that matched the existing 1/8 spaced tile pattern. Thin set tile adhesive with literally no adjustments , because of our exact substrate float, made this bathroom tile remodel project very simple.
Any avid DIY'er can do any home improvement project with the right tools and steps. A comprehensive diy tiling job that can be thoroughly enjoyed for many years too come!
