At 4:32 when you lift the tile with the hammer, the tile next to it lifts as well, which is not good ? I suggest break the tile in tiny pieces all over before prying to avoid damage to the other grout lines / tiles.
No other tile were loosened in the process, the camera was on a wood floor/tiled so maybe it looked that way. And yes your way will work too, didn't want this to be an hour long though.
PoisoneDrummer : at 5:39, I saw a tile lift when turning the chisel. There is definitely a difference in sound when tapping on tiles with the stud finder effect. Loose tiles will be hollow sounding and solid tiles have a dense thump.
The biggest fear I have is the job "snowballing". In other words, getting larger and more complex with every thing I do. Admittedly I have never looked at the tile as closely as I have since I started watching you. Now I have found that several of the tiles on the curb are in deed cracked. Of course they are on the inside of the curb where I wouldn't necessarily pay attention to anyway.

How would you replace a cracked shower floor tile that was installed over a waterproof rubber membrane? Thanks

it's obvious the tile to the left got lifted at 4:32-35. at 4:36 the grouting even blew out
@@suivzmoi this is why I prefer to completely separate the thinset from the other tiles with a grinder
The tile to the left absolutely moved.
Years ago, I had a tile guy like this on one of my crews. We called him Donkey Kong. Lol, lol.
Could a piece of tile be heated with a heat gun, melting the adhesive behind it, so you could pull it out instead of breaking it apart? Thanks!
NO. It wont work because tile ahesisive is not glue. Its basicly concrete so heating it up doesnt do anything.
Great video!

Tile wizard 😂🤣 👍
hey bob can this method be used on a shower wall?
Yes...just a little more caution is needed to not break the wall board.
StarrTile and re apply redgaurd if needed correct?
YES
In regards to your patreon, is there anyway you can enable monthly donations? Right now its just per post.
Sorry, I'm new to it & not sure how it works. If there's something I can do on my end I will...and thanks.
Just changed it to monthly...thanks for letting me know, I wouldn't have if you didn't mention it.
I know you are a professional but in my opinion you need to cut the grout lines with the grinder
I've got to change 4 tiles joining each other. Never done it before
He should removed more thin set before install
2024 the cost is now about $200, before the crash in 2025.
Please just talk to the point. A 20 minutes video for one tile replacement??
May of us have attention spans greater than that of a goldfish.
