Ummm this should be removed. Where is your waterproofing???

Well I went the opposite route I just spread an entire tube of silicone and crossed my fingers 😢

A great first video for us would be shower fixers. Thanks for your advice. Also for the comments of others too. All make excellent points. I only wondered about going round corners? The tile at the bottom on the other wall, next to tbe broken one looks cracked too?

I know this video is like a million years old and I highly doubt anybody's going to see my comment but is there any way to take the tiles off without breaking them cuz the tiles are like 20 years old and we can't get ones that match

Any recommendations on if the hole in the cement board behind the tile was cut exactly on the grout lines?

You need mesh joint tape in on all the cement board seams.

I looked everywhere for this and you were the most helpful by a longshot!

I’ll give you an A for effort but there’s a better and simpler way to do what you did. Next time try this. Take a 4” side grinder with a Diamond blade on it. It cuts tile and board like a knife through butter. Instead of sanding down previous thin set you didn’t save anything by reusing the old backer board especially when the minimum size you customarily have to buy is bigger than the piece you replaced. Just replace the entire backer behind all the tile you removed. Now you have a nice new even surface at the right depth to reinstall to tile. The rest of your project is fine.

Maybe go buy a grout bit for your oscillating saw. Works faster and doesn't damage the tile. for actual tile removal maybe buy a knife bit for the same oscillating saw. With these you will cut your time in half. I do this daily. Works great for small/minor repairs.

Dang. I got to do this. Thanks

May I suggest you consider regrouting with EPOXY grout. You clearly have cemetitious grout and NO waterproofing. After building 2 x bathrooms myself down to the studs I’ve learned that water always goes thru the grout and sometimes the tiles and tries to flow back into the shower thru the silicone band at the bottom (why silicone gets mouldy, it’s water and dirt from behind the silicone. Epoxy is the only waterproof grout and it never stains. A professional would tell you to totally replace all walls esp since you have mould. A renovator tool with a rectangle blade would of been easier. You will have water damage behind the tiles I’m sorry to say, esp if anyone is in the shower for more than 10 mins at a time. Cemetitious grout was designed for short shower times, these days we tend to have longer showers.

Thanks, doing this tomorrow 😁

It took me forever to find a video or even a website that showed me how to repair a tile wall without tearing down the whole tile wall. I didn't have leftover tiles because our house is 25 years old, but I picked out a decorative tile and installed it looked less like a patch and more like a design. Also, I really appreciated that I didn't need to buy any special tools and could just use my Dremel Multi Max!

Just wanted to say that you should never use that premixed thin set because it’s organic and will never fully dry in a shower. Instructions should say on the label not to use in a shower. Also I would definitely be concerned that there is no waterproofing at all in your shower. The only thing holding water back is the cement board and that is only a matter of time before that fails. I would recommend everyone to do more research before doing any repairs on your shower.

Thanks

Great job for your first video!!

Nice video. Did you backbutter the tiles before placing? Home Depot sells tile spacers fyi.

Great video!

omg I had the exact same thing happen to me last week. exact same tile broke while I was removing caulking. I just replaced the tile, my issues with the concrete board were different.

This really helped me. Thanks!

My problem is from bottom to half way up the wall. Now I gotta get busy. Thanks for making this videi.

Amazing video! Thank you! I need help deciding what to do in the middle of a DIY job. I have removed the old grout at the intersection of the wall tile and acrylic bathtub in our bathroom (where tan color tiles meet the white tub in your video). I may have removed too much though, which has prompted me to stop and ask for input. When I slide a business card in the slot (removed grout depth), I measure more than 1/2 inch, which is deeper than the tile's thickness. Did I take some of the concrete backer board? Any advice on what to do at this point is highly appreciated.

The whole installation is bad, behind the cement board is suppose to be plastic or tar paper

Where is the water proofing behind the Durrock, there is suppose to be plastic or tar paper??

I was primarily interested in replacing damaged cement board and you covered that topic very well, thanks!

Is it okay to put the shower over the tile and remove the bottom half and replace it with new concrete border?

Good job for your fitst video - advise - just dont repeat yourself so much

Thank you for the video, couple things for the viewers. Normally you want to start on the bottom to keep the tile from sliding down or falling off the wall, and make sure you get those edges, Also you want to mud thick and trowel the wall and a thin layer on your tiles. Press fit them into place and make any leveling as you go. One other tip when removing tiles, score the grout around the tiles you want to remove so you don't chip them as you remove the old tiles. Older homes may not have extra tiles or you can match them so use painters tape to preserve the edges of the tiles staying otherwise you will scrap the color off... Leveling can be done by eye but get a 3 foot level and use it to level the tiles so the edges are all the same... you push on one corner the other corner will pop up slightly. Good job, remember to seal your grout as well.

the ONLY video i need right now as a first timer. Thank you.

Very nice for a 1st time.

Thank you! What tool was that you used?

that tape didnt seem like it adhered very well..hope the other stuff helped it out

Fantastic job!!! Well done!!! I'm a woman and have learnt so much from you Tim, my need is simpler, just to re-stick a loose tile which I didn't know and thanks to your great work shared with us now I'm doing it myself :) Thank you so much :)

Should there be a membrane behind that backer board at least on the lower row?

Thank you! I am about to repair some of my shower tiles, and this addressed my issue with connecting the cement board.

Terrific job and thanks!

Thank you, Mr Barker.

This advice should not be followed. Not waterproofed and the wrong "thinset", also. That is mastic and NOT for for wet areas. Anyone watching this video please do not follow this advice. The work in this video is not done correctly. This work will fail again. Just a matter of time. And the issues it causes in the future will cost alot of money in damage. To be fair it was done wrong by the builder and although "it's just a patch job" , it's a wet area and water damage is very costly. Please, please do not follow this advice.

This was the video that is the closest to my current situation. All the others are plugging some expensive stuff that the pros use. Thank you Tim! You made it look do-able.

nice job 👍. I have to remove some 6x6 from a shower and do a larger space and account for shower handles (the valves were replaced with different kinds and plumber busted open the wall) and I figured this is what I would have to do, just wasn't sure what screws to use. good to see somene else doing it from A to Z. ✌️

Could have used Kerdi Band as well, to help waterproof underneath cause grout always seems to fall out.

One suggestion for removing tiles. Remove the grout first makes it a little easier.

Very nice👌detail but to the point & step by step🔥keep'em coming (content)

A trick of the bob vila is perfecting the art of doing work to the side of things so the camera can get a decent shot of said work instead of the back of the head.. is funny when as a viewer you catch yourself trying to move around to see past... lol..

Thanks for the video. I learned a lot.

Those were install wrong, you did not redguarded the wall.

great video, really helped seeing how to repair. Had a bunch of water going through wall and into floor below, turns out the mortar between tiles had deteriorated, ripped out the section with rotted out sheetrock behind it and now I have pretty decently sized hole in my shower wall.
