I'm a new homeowner. The previous owners went to great lengths to cover up issues with the bathroom plumbing, leaky faucets, and subsequent water damage. Following your videos, I managed to save thousands of dollars by doing the work myself. Thank you for taking the time to help us amateurs!
@@1fashionblissThe home inspector didn’t catch those things because “the previous owners went to great lengths to cover up issues with the bathroom plumbing, leaky faucets, and subsequent water damage.” No but seriously, an inspection only goes so far. It doesn’t involve tearing up drywall, floors, vanities etc.
Found ourselves in the same situation after buying a house during Covid. The whole house is rotted and all has been completely covered up by flippers. So pissed off! Taking out my anger with a sledge lol.
this guy is freakin awesome. watched several of his videos on a previous channel and after he stopped appearing, I searched and searched to find his new channel cause I can't miss the content. Steve, you give the best advice and are my #1 most trusted source for my bathroom remodel.
Just finished a complete remodel of our hall bath. Subfloor repair and everything else. First time on this type of job and spent six months doing it. Came out great, but had a little lippage on the 4x16 subway tiles. Used Spin Doctor on the floor, but not the walls. Greatly appreciate your channel and videos that were a major help in the whole process. Will be 70 soon, so last job like this one. Thanks!
i really appreciate this video format. I'm a tile contractor and have been on the receiving end of " the tile guy will cover that up" too many times and have gone back to fix this and that to flatten out my wall, or make my drain cuts centered etc.etc. i really like to rip down to studs to do everything i need to do and in the past have had to relay on plumbers and electricians, try to do as much as i can now.
You're essentially using top of the line installation methods and materials, I spent hours researching a full bathroom remodel, the best tiles to use, glad that what I found to be the best were utilized by an actual professional in this video. Porcelain tile being the best being impervious to water and moisture, with schulter ditra and kerdi system for the flooring and using an epoxy grout, with a full epoxy finish over the floor and tile being optimal but also optional.
I'm looking at doing a similar bathroom remodel and you have given me a pretty good insight that will help with my project. Thank You for taking the time to put these videos out there for us amateur DIY'ers.
Thank you! This was so helpful. I’m in the middle of a bathroom remodel and I’m kind of at my wits end with the steps. We’re doing a walk in shower and adding a vanity. There’s a little electrical but it’s out dated as the house was built in 1959 and we will need to add a couple of light switches, a GFCI outlet, and ceiling vent. I’m not shy to doing the work but doing it right is number one priority to me. Thank you again! The biggest thing is getting permits from community which I’m hoping isn’t a hard process.
Hi Steve! Glad to see you having your own YT channel now. I’ve watched you from the beginning of the Home Repair Tutor where you didn’t speak (but just worked and worked) to now as a confident social media teacher. Keep up the fantastic work you do. Subscribing to your channel. ❤️
Thanks Anne! Appreciate this. I was so afraid of the camera when first starting out with HRT 😆. Overcoming that will be something I am forever grateful to Jeff and his channel. Starting over is humbling & scary too☺️ hoping, I can recreate the magic that brought HRT to where is today 👍
Great video. I would suggest removing all of the copper drain lines and even as much of the copper water lines as possible while the walls are open. If that stuff is from the 70s its only a matter of time before it will need to be repaired or replaced. Also I would get rid of those galvanized nipples under the vanity.
Hi! We enrolled in the course and began watching to educate before getting into things! In the demo video about installing the ceiling drywall, we noticed that you knew exactly where to cut into the drywall to expose the vent fan. Did you establish markings beforehand? We couldn't find any tips / directions on that. Your advice is much appreciated, thank you!
wish I would have looked before I did my bathroom. I was mainly looking to see the best way to tile, I was pretty close on most. I used wonder board instead of go board, was had to cut, not sure if go board would have been the same, also for the floor. wish i would have used that Dita stuff on my floor. Finishing my bathroom I took a ton of tips from this video. thank you
Really enjoy your videos! How did you get started as a contractor? Thats my next step in my goals. Im nervous about venturing off on my own but more excited than anything! would love to hear your story on how you got started.
Hey Steve, Got a question for you. I'm doing my first bathroom renovation. The box store only carried the grey colored kerdi fix which left a little of the stain on my tub. The tile will hide the majority of it, but I'm needing to figure out a way to remove any that tile doesn't cover. Would you suggest using a utility knife and scrape it off or using something to wipe it off? Obviously you know the consistency of kerdi fix and I'm worried I'll have trouble removing it off my white tub. Thanks for your feedback!!
Sooo helpful and encouraging. I know we want to do at least most of the bathroom ourselves and had no idea what it would be like. How much is the course?
So when the Go Board is up and you have the corners and screws covered can you use the shower for a week until the tile comes in?? Is the GoBoard waterproof?
Great tutorial! I am about to start my very first tile job. Nervous. I'm putting nine a niche and have a question. I laid out my tiles with spacers and I have 35 1/2" tub deck to top of tile. Should I make the backer board (hydroban) on the floor of the niche 35 9/16" from the tub deck? I guess I need to know if the tile should be flush with the floor of the niche then I'll use probably marble for the shelf. Also, around the perimeter of the niche I'll use Schluter trim and need to know whether to put the leg inside the niche or on the face ? Would love to talk for a few if possible😊 Jeff
If I would sand drywall I would use a sanding spunge because it's a lot easier to use than an electric sander because electric sanders are loud and cause a lot of vibration
How do you level a new alcove tub installed against a concrete block wall when you don't have easy access to the floor on the backside of the tub? I'm considering gluing shims on the feet of the tub till I get it level.
Very nice video steps clearly mentioned and explained, only one thing urges me to mention is how could you make those white tiles so uneven against eachother, yes they are cut nicelly and spacing is okay-ish but as person who loves to tile and expects perfect smooth transition between tiles from myself, it twists my neck seeing that those white tiles are uneven
@@BathroomRemodelingTeacher i would classify it as constructive feedback, no hard feelings involved, no keyboard has been harm while writing this reply. 😄
I noticed you caulked around the toilet, did you leave a gap or go all the way around? Trying to figure out what’s correct, thanks for all that you do.
I have a basement bathroom I want to install. I. The old laundry area so water supply , drain or three…but “”””3” main stack is 15 feel away. The basic drain n is at the location po it’s for basement tonight and water and sewer enter my basement. So have a to start - open up from main stack or ? 6:026:04
Hi Steve, I just came across your channel while searching for house renovation videos. I was looking at your tub/shower bathroom remodel in 7 days or less course and through that on your website found your remodelling online course youtube playlist. Is this the same as your paid for course? I'd be more than happy to buy the course as it's very reasonably priced and if it's different and would be beneficial to me? I am relatively new to taking on such a project and was impressed by the video. Also, I'd love to be able to do the whole house eventually, so was wondering if you had any advice on that or know of any more good resources?
The video footage is the same as what I have here in playlist, just broken down into small precise tasks. Also have guides checklists & other helpful content. The DIY membership (one time payment that’s it) encompasses all of my courses. Different scenarios and situations 👍
Thanks for the quick reply. I just watched your first live stream. I'll check out the one-time payment option. I'm going to watch the whole playlist first, though, to get inspiration and courage. 😂👍
Hey i want to buy the course but i want to convert a closet to a bathroom . Meaning i will have to run sewer and vent. Would this help me the correct way to install pvc pipes and fittings ?
The diy geek membership (one time payment that’s it) will have all of my courses. 12 courses in all. 3 full bathroom remodeling with new plumbing. If you have a specific question you can leave a comment in any tutorial and I can help bathroomremodeling.teachable.com/p/diy-bathroom-geek
They have asbestos testing kits, so you can check. If you find it, don't touch it. I watched a removal video, and it is more intense than doing surgery on someone.
Hello how are you buddy I just want to say nice video you explain everything step by step I want to work with you I want to learn remodeling bathroom from you can you hire me?
Cheif architect. Spent a lot of time learning how to use it for a second story addition I did a couple years ago. It cost quite a bit, but I think there are less costly versions out there. Definitely helps winning jobs with the images included in quotes 👍
Thanks for the information! By the way, I am a relatively new general contractor in Anchorage, Alaska and am currently doing my first shower job. I am on your channel many times a day 😂. I really appreciate what you're doing. 🙏
one of the few videos you wanna watch at 0.5x speed rather than 2x. thanks!

@@FelixStanek ugh same. Our inspector was nice but missed a lot. I have a much better eye for shoddy work now.
Same thing happened to me. I swear they spent more time and money covering up problems than it would have taken to just fix them
There's so much more to this than I thought.
That was the best video on remodeling a bathroom I've ever seen on youtube.
Only the OG fans know you from HRT RUclips channel. My go to guy for anything bathroom remodeling.
😆 true. Thanks 👍
Great summary of a full bathroom remodel! I can vouch for the course Steve has created… highly detailed and extremely helpful! Thanks, Steve 😊
Thanks babe! You did great at capturing everything!

This bathroom is going to last 100 years just by seeing how thoroughly you did it! 😮
I love that corner niche!

Remodeling my aunts bathroom next weeek… I’m pretty handy have did aardwolf floors for years… But this video is helping so much. Thanks a bunch!

thank you so much for sharing this video! I have a question: can I use Goboard for the entire bathroom for max waterproofability?
Very helpful Thanks.
This is awesome. You really are great at your craft. Thank you so much for your knowledge 😊
Planning on getting a house to fix up and I will definitely use this video to help me when the time comes. Thank you!!
Wow! You are a master.
Thank you! This was a great video to watch to see what we want to undertake ourselves and what we want a professional to do. Much appreciated
I love your video I'm going to purchase your course
Wow, great content. Looks like a huge amount of back breaking work.
Would be awesome if there was a full course where you went into abunch of detail on each area
You are incredible. I would never attempt this myself.

Very cool, I like it!
Thanks again for sharing your knowledge,

Super great video and your computer skills are awesome as well.
Amazing. You inspired me to not do this myself 😅 going to just hire professionals
Well that wasn’t my intent, 😆 but glad it helped either way 👍
Paahahahah!!!!! You too? 😂😂😂😂. I was really thinking I could do it. I was watching the video and gave up mentally on day 1😂😂😂😂.
I might have missed it, but is there recommended tool/material list? Thanks heaps btw for the video
Great video
How much money I will probably spend on material to remodeling everything myself?
$6-7k all in my course 👍 www.bathroomremodelingteacher.com/tubshower-bathroom-remodel-in-7-days-or-less-course-detail
I wish that I had your skills. Great informational video.
I have to tune into your channel often just to keep up! 😵💫
You make it look so easy!
this is an incredible channel. nice work !!!
Sooo helpful and encouraging. I know we want to do at least most of the bathroom ourselves and had no idea what it would be like. How much is the course?

So when the Go Board is up and you have the corners and screws covered can you use the shower for a week until the tile comes in?? Is the GoBoard waterproof?
Thanh you so much for guiding us thru this!

Looks good

Fantastic video,thanks very much.🙂
If I buy my light fixtures , vanity myself Install them myself. But have someone to the tub in the shower will that save me a lot of money also?
Fantastic job
I did small tile wall and the mold build up is none stop scrubbing when I would have just did vinyl did I do something wrong by chance??
amazing! so helpful for planning to know where to do things in parallel!
If I would sand drywall I would use a sanding spunge because it's a lot easier to use than an electric sander because electric sanders are loud and cause a lot of vibration
Question, is goboard strong enough to hold tile on the ceiling over the shower
You can put primer directly onto the drywall???
Mate. This is great. 🎉
Can I give the blueprint of my bathroom and then you provide a step by step process(course) of a remodel?
Thanks!
Is there a list of all materials I m going need please 🙏 Thank you
Thanks for the share. Super helpful
great job on the video
will your course be appropriate for U.K. systems?
Should you put the orange water proof flooring under the bath tub?
So impressive. This is the stuff they should be teaching kids in high school, not home ec, gym, or tech class.
Great Job!

Do you worry about asbestos exposure when you tear down things and how should an average guy protect himself?
Thank you very much for sharing!
Yes for sure, but sorry can’t comment on that with a 10 ft pole. My insurance wouldn’t go far with that 😆
They have asbestos testing kits, so you can check. If you find it, don't touch it. I watched a removal video, and it is more intense than doing surgery on someone.
I want to move the vent and add a vent with a light can a homeowner do that without a contractor
So how much is the whole course for a dyi home owner and where can i check it out?
