I Tiled this Shower with FLEX SEAL!!! --- ACTUAL JOB
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 май 2024
- A few months ago I made a video testing Flex Seal and how it might work in a tile shower application. Since then, I received a request from one of my viewers for me to use flex seal in their shower remodel. Their shower had been built using RedGard and it failed horribly and was leaking. So they really wanted me to use Flex Seal, and I'm really glad we did it. In this video I explain the mechanics of a waterproof shower pan and drain system and how it works with the Flex Seal as the waterproofing membrane. Although Flex Seal is not specifically designed to use in shower systems, I am confident that it will work in this application.
Please do not try this at home! I have many years experience as a professional tile installer and I have done hundreds of hours of testing to understand the engineering and mechanics of these systems. If you are a DIY'er, it is probably best to stick with a 40 mil PVC pan liner or Schluter Kerdi.

I want to see an update in a few years of how it held up
Has there been any follow up on this job?
@@dinojay8410 idk but I've used the flex paste Many times it's some good ish. The spray sucks and the tape is okay in proper applications
Any updates about the shower bathroom area
Loved your parting words at the end. Shows your heart and true intelligence. Stay blessed.
Dang! There is a lot more to installing a shower than I thought! You are a great teacher! Thanks for the lessons!
"Question authority in small small way". THE SUBVERSIVE TILER!! u rock🤣🤣🤣
Been watching dude for years. He has skills and takes responsibility for his work. Reapect
Reapect!
I love the options and testing you provide. You are a true Craftsman.
I love this! You are an amazing coach!
I love to think outside of the box! I like to learn how and why something is done then see if there is an area where something can be altered, adjusted, or improved upon. That's how we advance and grow, by people like us who "fallow the rules" ish but aren't afraid to test out something new if it makes sense that it can work! Thank you for being an honest, informative professional that is getting some good education out there to DIYers like myself that is not clouded by a sales pitch that leads people astray!
Really appreciate you showing all the details getting through the installation process!
Fantastic video - You seem like you really care about the jobs you do and that you love your job. So great to see.
I'm about to tackle on my shower renovation. Your videos do give me more confidence in making the process much easier and with confidence.
Those float strips are genius! Simple, effective, AND inexpensive!
Tile Coach is too humble of a title. You are the Lord of Tile!! Thank you for another great video
I like that you take pride in your work which not many people do but your work shows it excellent job
Hey Isaac!
thanks for your videos and thorough water tests with the various ways to water proof a shower. My father was a tile setter who id help ever summer i was off of school... and then he passed away suddenly a few years ago. and i cannot have one day where i pick up a trowel without getting emotional and wishing i was tiling with him.
Thanks to your time effort and research i was able to confidently complete a bathroom reno.
thank you from the bottom of my heart!
and keep up the great work.
God Bless
Nice work, good to see some people are keeping old school methods around!
Your work is phenomenal!I had to replace a shower wall in an emergency. I used plywood and flex seal. It was supposed to be temporary but held up perfectly. Ill do it again on my next job.
I really like your approach and honesty. Just simply love your videos and you are a wonderful teacher too
Young 25 year old with 6 years experience in the trade and this video blew my mind! Beautiful work looking forward to using more of your pro tips off your videos!
So much skill and knowledge on display here. Awesome!
Awesome brother, please keep up the great work for the people in the trade sector. You personality is infectious.
I've watched many of your videos and I am very impressed about not only your results but how well you explain the steps and reasoning.
If you lived in NJ, I would give my remodel to you with complete faith in a high-quality result. Outstanding skills.
My I think this dude is probably the best tile guy I’ve seen on RUclips ever. Real “knowledgeable” professional
I've always wondered if this product would work for tiling. Thanks so much for sharing this job with us. 👍👍
It’s like a hot mop in a way. Really cool and definitely hope client gives updates.
Beautiful look here, very nice Isaac👍🏻
Love it
This channel has inspired me through multiple renovations! Keep inspiring us and yourself bud:)
Problem with these products is the lack of longevity. Water/salts leach out the chemicals and they fail over time. Not a chance this will last 40-50 years. Maybe 10.
I used Flex Seal to patch a long narrow crack in my basement wall that would weep after heavy rain storms had soaked the ground outside it. I didnt want to spend the money it would take for a pro to dig out the foundation and patch it from the outside. So with minimum work outside to bring the ground level up higher, I proceeded to use Flex Seal spray and some mesh drywall tape directly over the crack and after a couple of coats, I then finished it off with the 12" wide tape. I was skeptical as to if it would work and last, but it has done a remarkable job and no leaks. Been on there for a few years now and still holding up well. Im sold, on the uses for Flex Seal.
@Not my Name I hear ya. In my case it was a minor leak and I have dealt with stuff like this before. If it had been a major crack, I would have done it properly on the outside. Every minor crack that has leaked, I have used this stuff on and it worked great. Before this stuff came out, I used that old stuff, that I dont think they even make anymore, to seal the cracks and it didnt do as good a job as this stuff does. As I said, I only use this on minor leaks.
@Not my Name LOL....thanks, but it wasnt that bad. Like I said, I have dealt with foundation cracks before, and if they had been larger cracks than they were, I would have chiseled them out and patched them with a hydraulic concrete. I would have also dug down on the outside and done the same if it needed, then tared and papered it. I know what Im doing and thought I would give this Flex Seal stuff a try and it worked out great for my minor repairs..
Mad props, you're killing it. I was not a fan before, but your skills are 👌. I'm a follower now.
Dude, love the videos. I've been in the trades for a long time, and it's great to see someone who genuinely cares about their work like I do. Who would have thought that you could use Flex Seal for tile installation. Thanks for thinking outside the box. I would have never tested it on a customer's house
You have the gift of gab. Well spoken and clear to understand. Unlike ma.y on YT. Awesome channel
This looks amazing! This is exactly how I am going to build my shower. Thank you for the instructions!
So wonderful to see a master at work. Thanks for a great video.
You are the best I never seen anyone as good as you thank you for all your input and videos. I am getting ready to do a tile job in Coronado. I’m definitely using the flexseal method.
Thank you for sharing this. this was an amazing job and we love your energy TileCoach! Thank you
This was beautifully done. This being the first video of yours Ive watched, I appreciate your words at the end. A small way to ket others know you are not alone.
That was a great job from quality of material to finish absolutely beautiful.
As much work, effort and the beautifying results of tile in a shower it still scares me. Water always finds a way through everything. You do very thorough professional tile installation without a doubt, but in the end..... Water always wins every time.
You are, by far my favorite tile info source!!!!!!!!
I really really blown away with the level of knowledge poured into this video, I was just looking for some reviews of the flex seal product when I came across your video"s I'm a big fan great work.
Excellent work and craftsmanship. Very impressive
This is just amazing. Great job Isaac!!!
I've been considering a hop over from being a GC to strictly just one field. I've done a few tub/shower jobs and with the help of your videos and a little more common sense and a lot less over thinking things, my jobs have gone faster, smoother and the results improve each time. Thanx a million for the tips bud!!
Your conclusion about making the world better with thinking critically made me trust your work
There are some tv products out there that are far beyond what they are sold for. So many uses and functions, because it's an actual solid product made to last. But like all products, it should be tested. And the best tests are always real life working tests.
This stuff looks like it has either a silicone or rubber base to it, which is why it flows easier. And also why it will last longer.
I'm appreciative of how professional your skills are, and your work ethic seems to follow. So many people in the building industry just don't care anymore, and many builds of all kinds look like a toddler has done them. Wish there were more guys like you around!!
As a plumber I really appreciate the work you tile guys do. Although you might not like our placement and plumbing decisions but that's OK because yall always put a beautiful face on to our work.
Thank you so much, that really means a lot to me as a passionate tile installer
Sometimes, you can't help where the plumbing has to go, you almost always got a joist right where you'd like to put your drain "in the center". I'll move a stud if I have too to get my (valve body) supply lines where I need it but you can't really move a floor joist. Not easily anyway. (I'm talking about remodels or fixing someone else work here, and not everybody uses pex.) that seems to hard for some people to understand, so I edited the comment) In this case, if this guy could move the drain to the center, the plumber was the problem.. 😆
Bless the plumber.
@@johnjones4096 lol yeah I always move studs or pissing on the electrician and hvac work to get my my pex wherever I need it go go lol
@@TylerRichardson14 do you put valve bodies in the middle of a stud?
Your work is very good, beautiful make over and I like how you showed the testing of the flex seal
Way to go my man!! I also live in NorCal and recently built 2 monster storage sheds using OSB sheathing, painted to color and then finally rolled the entire outside with a thick coat of clear FLEX SEAL for total waterproofing 👌... Life is good outside the box! LOVE your show👏👏👏
I don’t see why anyone would look down on using this stuff. It’s a waterproof membrane.... period. How it’s marketed or sold shouldn’t matter. It works, that’s all that matters.
Just because it’s waterproof doesn’t mean it’s acceptable to put thinset and tile over it. It may not bond well with thinset, the flex seal may peel away from the walls with the weight of the tile, etc. It’s being used here for something that it wasn’t designed to be used for, so who knows how it’ll hold up in a shower. I’ll let Isaac’s customer be the guinea pig.
You are awesome. Thank you for your insight and professionalism. Keep doing what you do. You rock
Wow! Simply amazing and beautiful work! Flex Seal seems to be the bomb!
I've been doing custom tile, stone and marble for 30 years and i think you do an excellent job. Very nice work and attention to detail. Great videos.
Do you think the curb step is too low? From the inside? It almost looks like it's a few inches. Lmk I'm curious
Edit. Around 16:42 I think shows.
30 years? How are your hips, knees, back?
Looks great and the best part is if you get tired of it you can change it when it leaks in a year or so cause any reputable professional will tell you flex seal is ok for an emergency fix but does NOT last for a permanent solution
Like the flex seal. I never worked with this product. But I can see how well it works. Thank you for sharing.
Explaining your work while showing it (I'm only a visual learner, you can explain it to me a billion times and I would never understand but if you show me what you're doing while you explain it to me I will be an expert on it) is refreshing and shows you really know what you're talking about. Thanks! I subbed because I love learning about doing things I don't understand how to do.
In theory, it should help ANYONE learn quicker with anything.
Thanks so much .....we are getting ready to do our two bathrooms and I'm going to be using the flex seal now!!!!!! Really like this video, your very professional and love what you did to this shower!!!!!!!
My husband and I love to do our own home renovations. My husband is a craftsman and engineer so I’ve got no worries about the quality of our own work. However, we did a complete remodel of our kids shower/tub combo and made it into a large shower. Ok… it took us Forever ok like 2 weeks! This looks FAR EASIER, AND BETTER! We used some kit that was orange, just ugggg. We’ve even delayed the remodel of our bathroom because we were not looking forward to doing it all over again.
This has inspired me! I can’t wait to share it with the hubby!
Thank you! That shower is beautiful!
This guy is a master! That’s a high quality shower right there!
Flex Seal is legit. I used the spray can version on my roof after locating a leak. It's held for a couple of years now in an area where temps very from below zero to over 100F. It should be able to handle an indoor job easily.
Flex seal is some pretty sweet stuff,I am restoring an 80s ford Bronco .well I have some billit aluminum rims and nice all terrain tires.,one day I was doing body work and noticed some dry cracking in the tires.I removed them,and had the tires reversed on the rims,putting the cracking to the inside.I used a wire wheel on a drill to scuff the rubber,I poured flex seal on the entire tire surface of the back side of the tire,into the cracks also,it was self leveling.that was 2 years ago,and it completely stopped the progression of the drying damage.they look exactly the same as the day I did it.so I used the clear spray type on the front white letter side after a good cleaning and they look awesome. If you did this to a new set of tires you will extend the surface life expendency for at least 3 to 5 years,and as you all know the quality of tires has depreciated they start to crack in just a few years.so if you have a project and want to keep the tires in good shape or just want to keep your daily driver tires in excellent condition, use flex deal,black on the back,clear on the pretty side,check it out.
thankfully in this case the customer requested it.
I used it to seal the side of garage from rain. Would leak inside. Working pretty well but did require several coats before rain stopped. Been good for at least 2 years now.
I have some of the tape to fix our garden ponds... one of the very few products sold on TV that is not a rip off
All I know is I was super skeptical of flex seal,and in the middle of a paver job my water tray for my mk cracked from the shelf that the water pump sits on from the back of that and about 10 solid inches through the middle of the pan,and my customer seen what happened and said "hey man"," just use some flex seal","here I have a little left over in my can"! As he went and retrieved a Xtra lrg can that had about 2 inches left in the bottom, I had my guys take lunch,I dried out my water pan sprayed every last bit and thought "there's no frigging way this is gonna hold"!!! We took an hr lunch and it held for about 6 months and I decided to buy a hole can and completely sprayed the whole pan and I still have that flex seal water pan on my mk 3 urs later!!!!
Your tile disaster videos are terrifying. Glad the channel has vids like these too. Awesome job.
Excellent video, explanations and work was outstanding, thank you!
love the video!! im gonna use this technique for my wife"s dog grooming shed.
Yes I'm a flex seal believer also. I did a roof patch that was roughly 6 x 6 feet of missing shingles . I sprayed the entire perimeter and the horizontal paper line. A day after the patch it trained for 2 days straight when I went to check on it the resident said he had no leaks. Awesome stuff!
Wow, interesting. Thanks. Did you just leave it there for a day to get a rain test on it (and then install the new shingles) or did you leave it in Flex-Seal only for a while?
@@nevillenewman2785Flex seal only. No more need for shingles ❤❤❤
Thank you! You always give me new ideas and techniques.. Thank you from Luis Caquias NC
Nice craftsmanship! Well done brother
...thumbs up before the end - on the presentation
...subscribed - on the closing remarks
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and creativity.
There are many reasons to really like you, and one of those right now is your comment to "think outside the box", like using the Flex seal. Your a great video, keep going and God bless you and your family always
You are awesome! This was one of the best YT videos I’ve watched!
I have built showers, and learned a lot from your video. Thank You
How can you watch this video and not give a like?? superb instruction and craftsmanship. 👍🏻👍🏻
The b441 method is so nice because you get a perfectly flat and even substrate to lay your tiles.👌👌
Your teaching skills, explanation of the process and superb video of the entire process from start to finish is beyond words!
As for the flex seal I hope it holds up for years to come and it probably will!.
One step you may have forgotten to mention was sealing the pebbles tiles before grouting as a grout release.
Thanks David!
@@TileCoach I would like to see those details from an experts perspective.
Sealing is a gimmick
from a distance looks like a tight job my man nice and neat clean
Really really nice design! I think I’m pretty well sold on that pebble floor.
Your a true craftsman/artist my friend!
Love what you do brother! I did a lot of research and decided to use Flex Seal to waterproof my shower floor and curb after this video! Love you messages at the end! God is good!
You Do Great Professional Work. Great Job!
Beautiful shower job. Love the teaching style. I wish I had all the info you've provided when I had my last shower installed. On my next shower project I certainly use your info. Thanks for many interesting videos. Keep up the good work.
Excellent and amazing work!
Nice job 👏, truly a professional look and work!🙌👍🎉🎊💥
Amazing videos, your work and explanation are really good. I have already demoed my old garden tub and ready to start with the shower installation. Trying decide on the waterproofing product I will use. I am a DIYer and am very nervous about tackling this project, I am watching your videos everyday. Thanks for your educational videos and your inspiration.
I've used flex seal in DIY off grid situations and it works great
flex seal is such a good product ive used it on all kinds of projects, also the shower turned out beautifully great work sir
Just subscribed. I'm starting a bathroom make over after the new year and i really love this shower.
I to will be using the large tiles and the wall cut out/hole in my build so if i can learn anything from you will be awesome.
Ill come back another time and explore your vids.
I love your work brother beautiful I’m from Canada I always watch your videos 👍👍👍👍
I love complete bathroom renovation This is not my full-time job but I do lots of volunteer work with friends and families and people in needs and your videos very helpful for me thank you so much For this Informational videos .🙏🙏🙏
Awesome job brother! I’ve always wondered about doing that.
Nice!!! Great work. I thought I would want to attempt doing my own shower but after watching these videos I think that at 68 years old and several surgeries on my back and knees I will need to pass. :o) You definitely have it covered.
Very cool. Wish I could find someone with that quality work in GA
I’m going to try this for my Baja shower! When it comes to efflorescence and Saltillo tiles in the surrounding bathroom area, I think it’s better to be safe than sorry! Thanks Isaac!
Wow you got skills Great work & thanks for all the tips! 👌👌👌🔥🔥👍
We are building out a skoolie and I was hoping to use Flex Seal to make a custom shower pan for our wet bath. This is fabulous!
Great work in every aspect 👍👍
There's 1001 uses for flex seal, now it's 1002, I use it on the floor of my van and it cut out all the moisture and road smells inside and made it enjoyable to drive again, I think I'll use this idea for my new masters bath project, thanks for the great info 😀👍
I don't know how I ended up on this side of RUclips, but I love it! Amazing video, I want to learn more about this subject!!
Yup.good job. Looks great!
Serious skills my friend.
I dig all your videos. Thanks Coach!
Turned out so cool!
I think I might use it on my next shower pan instead of HMop. Hell I've used it on my boat and it works great. Great video and job.
Pristine Work Issac!
Looks like you really put your heart into that one
I did! thank you for recognizing
Thank you!
I am redoing a shower in Bangkok and do not have PVC sheet. Good to know I can do it with liquid membrane. Now need to Amazon a weep drain here. Btw, a bush is growing out of the 5th floor wall where the pvc exits… so there is a fail.
Love your videos
Hi love this video thanks for your extra effort. I have been using KBRS pans. But I think the next job I'd going to be with Flex Seal in my corners.
