How to Repair Broken Tile, Part Two

Cracked and broken bathroom tiles are easily removed and replaced. There may be water damage to the backing behind the tile, so be prepared for a longer job.

A lot of really useful tidbits found here, and easy to understand and listen to.
Well done.

😂 my thoughts

[@crickellectualspodcast5216]

Have no equipment/tools for cutting the board or tiles

This looks like my wall, I’m screwed

Funny how he has a lot of homeowner grade tools but has a stabila level. good video.

I have one tile on the outside of my shower that is completely broken off. There might be some water damage to whatever is behind it, it almost feels like paper wall? Should I just go ahead and glue the tile back into place and grout the borders or do I need to really replace the whole backing of it?

Seams need to be sealed better, caulk is not going to really work. Also, need to waterproof the board with redguard or something similar.

Instablaster.

He said silicone, and cement board does not need redgaurd, that's redundant.

@@robertcampbell6364 cement board isn’t fully water proof even though it’s meant to be in wet areas. Even if it was, redundancy when it comes to water is the way to go

Please put links to Part One and Part Three in the description.

THANK YOU!!!!

It’s the caulk really enough though for the seams?

[@itiswhatitis299]

So the purpose of the shim is to level the cement board or give a more sturdy support for the screws?

[@jbheth]

It is to make the tiles flush, so they aren't sunken in compared to the rest of the remaining tiles. Hope that helps

I probably would have changed the rough in valve while I had the wall open

You don't account for the mortar bed thickness?

The narrator stated that cement board is waterproof. This is NOT true. Waterproof plastic must go behind the board, over the studs, or waterproof treatment like Redguard paint-on waterproofing or a waterproof membrane like Kerdi needs to go on top of the cement board. One or the other, not both. Note also that the existing wall board is green drywall, with no waterproofing. It is not correct. The rest of this shower is going to fail if it ever gets wet.
Grout is not waterproof. Water vapor passes in and out through the grout. If the wrong screws are used, they can rust out and the wallboard can eventually fail. This repair may last years, but it is not waterproof and it will not last long-term. But since the green wallboard is going to fail if it ever gets wet enough, they will be pulling the whole thing down to the studs one day.

Thanks for the advice! I appreciate it.

All that work and you don't change the faucet to a single lever pressure balance faucet!?!? Doh!!! And please for the love of God, don't use acrylic caulk on your tub area. Acrylic caulk is not meant for wet areas. Looking forward to the follow up video of this next year!

[@denpickie]

That was the first thing I noticed--the folly of not upgrading the plumbing while the wall is so open!
