The first step for installing a basement bathroom is checking the floor for levelness. We had a severely out of level floor and used Laticrete NXT self-leveler.
Once that was set up, the tub and mixing valve were installed. Hydro Ban Board was used to waterproof the shower walls and build a custom shower niche.
4x12 subway tile was set over the Hydro Ban Board using Laticrete 4XLT and 255 thin-set mortar. And Permacolor Select Grout was used for the shower walls and bathroom floor.
After the 12x36 porcelain bathroom floor was installed and cured, we added the vanity, toilet, and shower trim kit.

Thanks for this video! We have a roughed-in basement and my wife and I are planning to have a toilet, sink, and shower installed in our basement. We don't need a tub in the basement. I wanted to get a sense of the job the contractor will be doing. The skill it takes to do this is amazing. I pray I can find a really good contractor to do it without it costing a small fortune.
You can get the whole thing done for 2 grand from craigslist
Thanks for helping me see that I definitely cant do this on my own
Believe me if anyone is somewhat handy, they know their way around power tools nd can fallow instructions then they can do this. Its really not that hard, can be tedious at times tho.
😂😂😂
I added a basement bathroom last year, dunno why im watching this vid now.. lol. That said, you can definitely do it, but its alot of work and during the tile work you will wonder why the heck you started.. but at the end, it will be worth it
Haha same here
@@cantcomeupwithausern It's more like a timely completion time. No bathroom for 2 months that it would probably take me, my significant other would kill me.
Really nice work and well put together, love your detailed explanation as the work progresses 👍
Thank you
Very nice shower surround! Would have liked to see the finished product closer.
Great job!
Good video. Quick but clear explanation and good tips.
Bro you crushed it. Nicely done. Great video!
thank you
My advice to home owners that are refinishing their basements. Always double your sill plates. Especially if you’re using insulation on exterior walls. Also keep in mind if you have a water leak or water intrusion on the second or first floor, 9 times out of 10 water is going to seep into the subfloor and end up in your basement. In this case it would be smarter to use Styrofoam insulation. When deciding floor material.Ceramic tile mortared to concrete is the best way to go when dealing with water intrusion. By Standard, Category 3 water calls for all porous affected materials to be cut out. The only exception is framing and ceramic tile mortared to concrete. These Materials can be sanitized and dried in place. Using this information can save you a major headache.
Awesome advice, thanks
You are the best teacher!
Thank you Diana, hopefully the video was helpful
It is the first time I see this method to level the floor! Never would of thought of that 🤔
That was awesome thank you! Very interested in the course.
Thanks Tom, let me know if you have any question about your project or the course.
That man faded as hell 🍃🔥
Great job ! Nice detailed work !
thank you
This guy is all business He on a mission. Great job a real craftsman
Nice Work!! Thank you for sharing
thank you
I enjoyed this video... this dude at the end was LIT!!
thank you
I love this video the work was done nicely
Absolutely great video tutorial. Do you have any videos about installing drain plumbing in a concrete slab for the tub/shower? I have a basement bathroom that currently has a shower but it's mounted on a riser base to meet the plumbing in the wall. This plumbing does go thru the slab, I want to tie in. Many thanks!
Can’t believe you’ve only got 60 comments- best video I’ve seen on Remodeling a bathroom- been in the business for 20 years...great job!
thank you, we really appreciate your kind words. As long as it helps some folks that's what matters. We're about ready to give up on what RUclips thinks is good or bad, they're impossible to figure out
Agreed, this is awesome
This was so Informative. I need to put a bathroom in my finished basement so I can rent out the whole space so I don’t have to sell my house but this seems like a huge job to take on. 😬
Very nice job.
Great Job Steve 👍🏽🚿🛁
Thanks for the summary!! Great tips, great video.!
Thanks German, how’s your project coming along?
@Home Repair Tutor I purchased pex and push fitting, and about to finish plumbing. Covered up and patched the cement, next step: leveling floor, plumbing, and the Finishing!
Man! For a simple bathroom that looks super luxury
very helpful and well done. thx
thank you, hope it helped
Thanks so much .
wow beautiful!
The tee locks made me a star .I was capable but this takes your game up a bit
Thanks!
Made it look so easy.
New bee to diy, very outstanding explanation 😘😘🥰🥰🥰
Very helpful. 👍
Great job!!!
thank you Fred
The work was good I give it a 80 out of 💯.. only because when you were done with everything if you looked up towards the selling there was cracks all along the edges and you never want to let hot steam get in between those cracks because all the tiles that come crumbling down also I love what you did with the built-in shelf the only thing I didn't like about it was that it was solid Brown if it was me I would have broke it up with some of the white to make it match the bathroom not just be one random brown color out of nowhere even though I know that the floor was supposed to match it but sometimes you just got to break some things out at a little fanciness to it but all in all it was a really wonderful job and you did a really good job at it even though you showed us how you put the tub in the shower together you did not show us how did you get the plumbing for the toilet and the sink in that was like the most important part of the video so in your next video can you please upgrade and give us detail by detail
Thank you, Owen Wilson.
nice work , thank you for sharing !!
Nice work!
Really good video like always .
Nice! 👍
Thanks 🙏🏻
great video! i am currently doing the bathroom in my basement myself i was just wondering what about the drain incase of a water leak?
Yeah!! You know how to edit! Appreciate.
Excellent
Very nice
Thank you, we're very happy with the results of this shower
Thanks for the video, very nice. Is All the floor sealin absolutely Necessarily ? . I have some sort of Grey paint on my basement floor, you think that is enough sealing for my bathroom ?
very good!
Fantastic video!!! My wife and I are literally getting ready to do a project like this. This is one of the best videos I've seen explaining the steps!!! As always God bless and greetings from Jersey bud!!!!
Thanks so much for the kind words, hopefully the tips help with your project!
thank you
dude you always look blazed
Wow nice! You are very talented.
Thanks Teresa, we appreciate your kind words. Hopefully the tips help if you do a similar project. Lots of great new materials make it much easier than 20 years ago. Planning helps a lot!
Impressive
Nice video. Looking for a video on installing curbless tile shower stall.
We have a 1910 old house and it has a very tall basement, so we are building two bedrooms (master and guest) and we are going to add a full master bathroom with laundry room. We will follow your advise and report how it went....crazy!!!
How did it go
what a project
Thank you 😊
happy to help, let us know if you have any questions
Clean and beautiful!
Thank you 😊
It’s great how you build the bathroom but I was wondering more of the drain not really the pipping that is easy. How did you get the drain? The water has to go somewhere
I need someone that can do this in my basement...
3 seconds into the video, " man that dude's baked!"
Stellar work!
Nice work and excellent video.
Thanks, there are some aspects we'd change but overall it turned out really good
Great video! how much would you charge for this?
Great but quick video. Is there one that shows installing of all the drains. I am adding new toilet and shower to basement.
Thanks for another clear and great video. I'm beginning a similar project and have been planning on using Schluter Ditra as a waterproof/ isolation membrane atop my leveled concrete floor. What are your thoughts about Ditra vs. liquid Hydro Ban for tiling on a concrete floor?
both are good options. If you need to keep the doorway transition to a minimum Hydro Ban is great. Is that an issue?
@@HomeRepairTutorThat is a good point, of which I hadn't considered. Thanks!
The soap collects water is this product able to withstand water? I normally use hardiback and red guard
Love your insta!
thank you, we super appreciate you watching them
What is better the pex clamps or the pex that just snaps in?
How much did this cost were I to buy my own products? I'm looking to pay a plumber to plumb a small space in my basement, then I will finish it up with this tutorial. Also he used a hammer drill to pierce through that concrete and floor tile correct? Very nice outcome.
After a beautiful bathroom build it's always time for a well deserved joint! 😂#CLEAREYES
actually I had an eye infection, very painful 😣
How do you transition the bathroom floor opening into the basement floor
How long does it hold, gonna try and do the this to my bathroom for downstairs, we still haven't cut out the cement, just want to make sure for the perfect bathroom ..
How do you lay the drain so it has slope to a main drain that could be midway up the wall? I want to put a sink in my basement but the main drain that goes to the cesspool exists at 46 inches high on the wall. Doesn’t give me a ton of space to create the slope for drainage.
Hi Jeff, great job, Can the niche be install in the middle of the walls or whatever the customers want it thanks
A small niche
Yes, as long as the niche isn't on an exterior wall.
Thank you
@@HomeRepairTutorHi, can you explain more about the reasoning behind that? Thanks. Is it because of moisture coming in to the cavity where the niche is, or does it have a deeper reason why a niche shouldn't be installed on an exterior wall? Does a basement wall count as an exterior wall?
Hi guys, what's the reason why you did choose to use an uncoupling membrane in this case? Wouldn't the tile be at risk of cracking since it's set directly on the slab? Thanks!
Hydro Ban serves as the uncoupling membrane in this case and was chosen over Ditra or Strata Mat because it added the least amount of height to the floor.
do you have by any chance a movie about installing a waste pump for a basement bathroom ?
Nice job how did you clean the grout after you left it over night
For Permacolor Select we install and clean the same day
@@HomeRepairTutor thank you
how was the drain installed for the tub?
they show how in another video installing a tub in basement.
i live in a basement in toronto. could you teach me how to replace the shower head. i have no idea how to deal with it...
How do you decide whether to stack or offset subway tiles?
It's a personal preference, for older homes the traditional offset pattern is probably more acceptable
@@HomeRepairTutorThanks for the feedback and answer.
You guys provide great content with invaluable information for us all. Keep it up!
How much do you think it would cost if i paid a contractor to build a bathroom like this, including framing?
Just one question and it's not meant to be rude.
Shouldn't the bottom two-by-fours touching the concrete be treated?
100%. Also the guy caulking didnt carr at all lol
You didn't use treated wood for the bottom plate?
Has this video been made in Canada?
no, in the US
That was really good,but I need to get in touch privately please, can we?
Host been smoking them greens…. lol
why do u use hydro band in is basement concert ?
Ahh yes getting fried before working
Nice
I’m trying to figure out how to do the plumbing
we don't have a RUclips video on basement plumbing yet, although we do help people with that via Bathroom Repair Tutor (bathroomrepairtutor.com/video-library/). This video on plumbing basics is very helpful though ruclips.net/video/bbqZ12QhoY4/видео.html
Bro your eyes are SO RED you look ripped out of your mind lol.
It’s called allergies and working
@@HomeRepairTutor hey I'm not judging, they say take care of mind and you can work all day. Allergies or budskies either way good vid
so u dont have to use waterproof sheet rock for the whole room just the shower?
What is the cost for this project?
Yeah I'd rather add thin shims to the studs than notch them for the tub lip too.
Why did you water proof the bathroom floor if you didn’t put a fabric in the inside corner and water proof at least go up a few inches?
How much approx cost for this bathroom?
Why didn’t you use green board drywall? For the rest of the bathroom.
👍👍👍👍🤝🤝🤝
thank you
I love how he keeps saying we we we, yet I didn't see him do anything Hahaha. Great video though, very insightful.
I'm surprised you brought the board down over the lip and sitting on the tub itself. Won't this cause water to creep up into the board, eventually? Some experts are adamant that the board should NOT rest on tub or shower pan base but rather, it should rest on top of the lip.
this video has tons of flaws, a lot of bad ideas.
What was the cost of this project?
Do I need to tear up my concrete basement for a tub?
