How to Remove Tile from a Shower - Grandpa Bath Episode 2

- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- In this video I show how to remove a tiled shower tub combo by taking it out in large chunks instead of little bits of tile.
This is part 2 of the series "Grandpa Bath". We are doing a full bathroom remodel, including repairing water damage, replacing old plumbing, dropping the subfloor for a curbless entry shower, and changing the waste pipe from 1-1/2" cast iron to 2" ABS.
Stay tuned for more episodes in this series and be sure to watch episode 1 if you haven't already. Watch it here: • Toilet Leak causes MAJ...

Good lord. What will it take for some safety glass?
Hey at least he has hearing protection WHAT???
I have regretfully gotten a chunk of tile in my eye during demo.
Let me tell you how painful it is. Getting a piece of sawdust in your eye is irritating but tile? Oh ho.... tile in the eye is no bueno.
Most likely some type of eye injury.
I was thinking the same thing. Safety first 🙄
@@marks9949 absolutely no bueno, I am a member of the club, I've had wood, metal and tile, the tile was a demon from hell... omg it makes my eye twitch just thinking about it...
This should be a video of how NOT to demo. I love your work and have used your techniques but......
Safety, safety, SAFETY brotha! Eye, ear, mask, long sleeves, leather gloves, pants, and foot protection.
Breaking tile is like breaking glass. The fine dust that broken tile and cement make will cut. Demo only took a couple of hours. I would rather sweat my ass off than lose an eye or cut my hand.
To address the wicking of water behind drywall and cement board, code requires a vapor barrier (4-6 mil thick plastic). I had a customer in 2015 who’s bathroom had severe water damage and as I was replacing the studs, joists, and sub flooring, he asked if I could water proof the wood so I used Red Guard directly on the wood before putting up the vapor barrier. I now offer this to all my customers.
Overkill, not in the lest bit. Water always wins. We can only slow it down.
I know this is four years old but you’re doin gods work brother. The value in videos like these can’t be understated.
Nice video, but you probably should wear some sort of eye protection when smashing tiles. A tiny shard that comes of a tile can really ruin your day.
When we have to separate wire lath solid 2" walls like you did, we use a 3 foot long pry par for a much better mechanical advantage. We nick named it Ivan.
"Be smart to turn off the water, ah screw it." We say that on every job! lol Great vid!
@@TileCoach I've been there as well, although I was without my helper that day had to call over a friend while I let water blast me in the chest and drain into the tub...didnt want to put hand over pipe and force water behind the wall
@@TileCoach aww man lol at least we've all made it through those nightmares and can look back and laugh at them now. Enjoy your videos by the way, theres alot of people who just dont have a clue.
I'm rippin out a newer shower maybe ten years shouldn't I try and keep the wall intact
Dude why don't you wear safety glasses. ?
Hi Isaac. You should wear safety glasses when hitting these old ceramic varnished tiles with a hammer. The bits are sharper than a razor blade. Take care and keep up with the good work. Greetings from Belgium, Europe.
I was going to say the same thing.I do the same thing but I always use dust mask and eye protection.
I think he quickly closes his eyes the moment he's about to hit tile.
So premium. I felt like I could do this after watching you and you know what? I could! I totally did it!! I’ve never subscribed to any RUclips channel ever but ima subscribe to your channel because you’re more than talk - you actually help. Meaningfully. Thank you!
As an original bath those tiles still look good
Keep those fixtures. Hipsters will pay good money for those fixtures. Even that tile would get top dollar if they were clean.
Appreciate this. I have this exact bathroom and was about to start trying to hammer it the hard way. Can you elaborate on how you repair the wood rot in the load bearing wall in a future video?
Typically on jobe where a window has been improperly located / installed, I've offered other options for light and air circulation, this eliminates the #1 offender of water intrusion into the exterior wall at shower enclosures .
Good videos !
i saw an installer use the rubberized foil tape like you use on door sills as a band around the tub flange and up the wall 6 inches. then the backer board went to the top of the flange. so the critical bottom of the board is far above the water and the studs are protected from seeping wetness.
watch those tiles are sharper than you think, I nearly lost the tendon in one hand, I was pulling tiles off tired one night, and put my hand in the wall to check for pipes and scraped the tendon on the way back out.
MY GUY. Put on some goggles. I'm sure you have gotten a chunk of tile in your before doing demo- don't do it again man.
I'm watching this literally squinting my eye from the fear of tile in the eye.
ugugugugug. It's not fun.
DEMO GLOVES- LEATHER ! , SAFETY GLASSES, RESPIRATOR ?
YOU ARE YOUNG, YOU WANT TO ENJOY YOUR LATER YEARS, RIGHT ?
YOUR EFFORTS WITH YOUR BUSINESS AND PRESENTING THESE VIDEOS, IS APPRECIATED BY MANY PEOPLE !
THANK YOU !
For real. Good info, but painful to watch all that dust.
Glad I found you! This is the exact same setup in my sons home that we want to tackle! Love your work!
The thing that worries me with demolishing older bathrooms are the possibility of asbestos material being present in there.
shows how sharp tile can be when he cut his finger threw a glove but does not wear eye protection I cant really bitch Im the king of grinder cuts squinting LOL 20 years no problems
This looks like a how to "NOT" do it video!!! How about some safety glasses dude!!!
You seem like such a good dude, just hearing you talk about random tid bits and tips is so great
Why is it when I remodel 50-60 year old house it looks dryer behind than a 15-20 year old? Seems like quality went way down in past couple decades.
Is there ever any concern for asbestos? Thanks
Wow, never realized broken tile could be that sharp.
Imagine if a piece of that hit him in the eye.
Didn't know Robbie Lawler did bathrooms remodeling. Great job 👏
Such a bad ass channel. Your like an old school stone mason and that’s the type of work I want to learn. I like truck driving but if I could make the same money I would definitely get into tile at 40 years old. Cool trade!
Thanks
Mike from Chicago
I love when studs say "stud" 😅
Some DIY & even pros don’t realize how sharp tile can be when broke. It’s razor sharp & you have to be mindful when demoing & working w/ it. Sorry got cut, but, you showed everyone just how truly sharp tile can be.
Thx for the vid, REALLY ENJOY seeing these types of vids & hope there’s more....& longer more detailed/step by step vids as well(I’d watch a 20-30 min vid from you!)👍🏻
Cheers✌🏼
Mask and safety glasses???
Hey Isaac! Why are you tearing out my bathroom!??!? Ha ha. My bath was built exactly the same way, til I tore it out. This video is bringing back memories. Cheers bro. I love your videos.
This came right on time I’m about to tear out a 1960/70 bathroom with the ugly green color obviously the waterproof aspect failed when the soap dish fell out. Thanks for the pointers I know exactly what to do now!
Was there asbestos in that house considering the fixtures were from the 60s?
You mean like that two layers of old Lino or the old plaster?
The fixtures no. But the tile and linoleum most likely have asbestos. Why he is not wearing a mask I just don’t understand. In fact even the disposable has to be handled appropriately.
hahaha, great video dude.....our ego is strong, but our willing to explore and learn is way way bigger!
Great videos. I'm a builder in the northeast, our methods here are different. But your way of thinking and questioning and always looking for the best way to do things is excellent. I thought I was the only one . Lol. Keep the videos coming
Get some tape and a piece of toilet paper. That will fix you right up.
Get that drain tool from harbor freight. They cost $15 or more from home depot and $5 at harbor freight. While you are there get you some of those wire brushes for cleaning copper pipe.
No safety glasses, but you got ear plugs lol.
Damn, thats the only time I've heard you cuss. And you did it 2 times within like 10 seconds. LOL Also, cussing from an injury is allowed.
Wish they did it like that in Alabama lol the ones I have to take out are tar paper on the studs chicken wire on top of that and then 1in to 1.5in of mud then tile lol and it is way more difficult to do than that lol
Only works that way when it was installed over sheetrock. Deal with stucco and mesh to the studs and you are going to work your ass off and you are going to carry a tone of cement outside. And the mess is bad at best.
This is your grandpa speaking. Where's your safty glasses! Those shards are, of course, going to make you blind if they find their way to the peepers!
Daggnabit.
What about if your walls are PLASTER walls and not drywall???😢
Isn't revisiting the old foundation of things just beautiful? It tells you a story about the past! I just love to see old assembled wood structures and beams.
You definitely need a bandage..he really lacks of taking precautions to protect himself. ??..not the best video
No offense, but you had one safety problem wearing those thin gloves, now you don't have saftey glasses?
Relatively young man being foolish...
Bandaid? Come on homes...kerdi band and some duct tape....use old toilet water for cleaning the cut first...then wrap kerdi band around it...then duct tape....ha, bandaid...no self respecting man uses bandaids...unless he is near his wife at the time of the cut
Aloha from Kauai! I have the same question as Austin Scott. Very curious how they are going to repair that old subfloor? Will they add floor joists to the girder and throw 3/4 ply over it? Or will your carpenter be making 2x6 T&G? If they stick with the traditional 2x6 framing, what are the weight limitations as far as your tile goes? I have encountered a similar project recently and would like to know your thoughts. Thanks for all the videos.
I'm going thru this issue today . Tile pieces began to fall out house built in 1957. Now I got to figure out what to do we only have 1 bathrooms.. wonder if it can be repaired in 2 days ..
So, after getting sliced by broken tile, you go back to banging on it with a hammer while relying on "safety squints". Invest in some safety glasses.
Was really hoping for the cathartic moment of you smashing the tub in half. Either way, nice work.
Well I'm thinking that was some craftsman that put the tile up. It wasn't coming down without a fight.
What's the name of the "bust tool"? Like electric drywall knife?
Dude lead and asbestos is a thing in older homes. You really should wear ppe for your own sake :(
Link to EP 1, please? Tried searching for it on your channel; no dice.
didn't expect the tile to cut you like that. can't wait for ep3 of this rehab
epair
Definitely love the "buzz tool." The "buzz tool" always makes the job easier. Haha
60 years and the threads still spin? Wth. Thing should be frozen like a glazier.
Didn't turn off the water like the three stooges plumbing episode. 😆
There must be a mistake, I typed "How to remove tile" into Google, not "How to go blind"
Be careful as I make flying shards of broken ceramic sharper than razor blades as I wear no eye protection.
Ways appreciate you videos. Wear some safety glasses so you can keep making them for a long time to come!
Why does the old systems hold up so well compared to the new systems? The 9ld doesn't have all the technology...
Those boards are beautiful. They dont make them like that anymore.
all it takes is one time, hopefully minor eye injury. Lesson learned the hard way.
There is a tool to get the drain out if the cross inside breaks. It’s a solid piece with teeth to bite in and grab the drain, kind of like an easy out for a bolt.
Thanks for this video. I have the exact same wire and mudbed to remove and the exact same ridgid buzz tool to take it off!
Why not tile on drywall and grout and then install into the house in 3 pieces with special adhesive
Yes sir, Safety glasses and a N-95 Dust Mask 😷!!!
Can't wait to see the walk in shower. I have some old tub/showers I'd like to remove and install a walk in.
Shouldn’t you be wearing a dust mask at least?
What a beast pulling that cast iron tub out of the wall in one piece all by yourself. 🙂
That tile you tore out was beautiful.
Is tiling better than cheap fiberglass surrounding?
Better for your resale value.
@@boltup5566
But which one is better for the quality?
@@MinecraftPro97k Tile is better than fiberglass. Both in quality and for your resale value.
It depends on too many factors. Both can be wrong or right.
Tile is almost always better quality. The look. The feel. And much more.
Not that fiberglass can't be done well, but it is typically simple, cheap, and bland.
Well, functionally, they basically do the same job. Tile looks better. Plastic (fibreglass) is less maintenance.
Fuck yea I hope that shit comes off that smooth for me tomorrow. Lol
Everyone sounding life me osha
NO eye protection,unbelievable!
Do you ever worry about asbestos?
Looking at that lead made me get lead poisoning ha ha
What do you call that tool to unscrew the drain, and where do you get it? Thanks
Isaac Ostrom Thanks man. Keep up the good work. 👍🏻
ZUCKER! aka Buzz Tool! :-0
That's what i want get rid of tub do walk in shower 🚿 .
I love to see mud float rip outs tilings always flush in good condition. Not to say theres not any mud float fails ive just never seen a bad job on a mud float.
So is adding 6" aquabar a good fix for replacing tiles on the tub flange? It's a 50s bath being restored, not replaced. All the other tile and fixtures are mint, but the ones at the tub line had a crack. Any tips?
I was busting tile up and 1 hit my knee... Almost sliced my ACL thats how bad it cut me... I passed out and was alone... Most scary injury ever... 8 stitches
Thanks a lot for the information
the sound is not good I am quite disappointed
Thanks for showing me how to doit
I know your a professional but 2 words for you......SAFETY GLASSES!
Them tiles are old and contain lead bro.
10:35 ,, removing tub drain .
My Luck : Drain is SO SO stuck on there that when I would go to unloosen ,, it would NOT come loose ,, and the WHOLE house foundation would move instead . ha ha . You know ,,, when you go to get one of the rusted screws off when doing auto / home repair ,,, and the screw doesn't move ,,,, but the whole contraption it's screwed onto moves . ha ha .
Get the big bar bud. Hello!!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Can anyone please help? I removed a 1950s bathroom, the tiles were set directly to the block wall, over a mudbed? Now the mudbed is very rough with some deep craters, and removing it all doesn't seem like a feasible option. How can I get this tile ready? How can I patch and smooth the wall? Or any advice on how to remove the mudbed? I'd definitely prefer to smooth the wall. Please help
Hey issac I just finished a custom shower and uploaded it to my RUclips channel. Please give me your honest input. I watch you and other tile guys Chanel’s and appreciate all your content and vids. Great quality work and very knowledgeable much love from Illinois
Ok I won't be using that tool 😂
Multi Max! Say Multi Max!!!
showing your mistakes is almost more valuable then the actual job so KEEP those in there. It's the little things, the average DIY'r doesn't get that makes the job feasible or mentally too hard, so the more details anything is greatly appreciated.
🙏🏾💪🏾💯
Is this a safety video ?? 😅
Got a band aid good man lol but fuck the eye protection tru tile setter yeeee thats why i come here cuzz you keep it real good video man
What about eye protection...???? I guess blind tile guys charge triple the money..
Why don't you just redguard after you float
