Hey everyone. Looking for insight/advice. Bathroom remodel is finishing up. Just had paint and drywall come through. Toilets and fixtures are left. We noticed that near the tub, when walking around it, there’s a noticeable, loud squeaking. Tub flexing? Subfloor? Suggestions on what, if anything, can be done about it?

Hey everyone,

I am looking for some advice on a tile design. I have already purchased these tiles from FireClay Tiles (https://www.fireclaytile.com/products/glass-matte-falcon-tile-4x12-factory-sale?\_gl=1\*1ahrlzl\*\_up\*MQ..\*\_gs\*MQ..&gclid=CjwKCAjwqJXUBhBNEiwA8BgG7qdZNjUAqAZoF5fo6oIrgZ3dlU3MC2A4f-CaxxmOoT1V8O4kEEFDihoCOm8QAvD\_BwE&gbraid=0AAAAAD2kgOg8PZR55AyL9qm1qNRnIRBJr).

I am planning on doing a terrazzo floor. My big question is, do I go full yellow tile on the shower walls or extend the floor tiles up the wall a bit to break up the yellow?

I have attached some photos of inspiration to hopefully help. Open to other ideas, too!

Thanks everyone for your time and advice.

Updated main 10x5 bathroom from 1970s yellow tile and landlord Home Depot finishes to Samuel Mueller bath walls, 20 inch tub and Ove vanity. Flooring is herringbone LVP. If I had to do it again what if anything would be done differently?

Redoing the walls in bathroom. Pulled down old paneling (and many layers of old wallpaper) to find this wood wall instead of drywall?

The wood feels unsealed, it’s rough and splinters, so how would I seal it to later paint over?

I’ve spent the last few days doing nothing but reading everything online to do with wood walls/ceilings/floors in bathrooms and the best answer seems to be don’t do it in the first place but unfortunately we’re past that.

The process I’ve figured out is:

First, clean and sand with 120 grit then a second pass with 220 grit

Second, apply a moisture barrier like the “Mapei Mapelastic Aquadefense Liquid Indoor or Outdoor Waterproof Membrane”. From my reading this specific product also acts as a primer so no additional primer is needed?

Third seal any gaps or cracks with a silicone bathroom caulking.

Finally paint with paint mixed specifically for high-moisture areas.

Is this an acceptable process? Am I missing any steps or have them in the wrong order?

Located in central north Texas.

Hello guys. I’ve been planning on a bathroom update. I recently learned that there is this thing called bathtub refinishing. Where after all the update in the bathroom is done, tiles etc. Then they come in to re-enamel polish stuff. I hvae asked for a quote for my 60x30x15 Kohler cast iron tub and it was less than $400. I live in Chicago, IL. One of the contractors said that it I do this, it would save me ~$1.5k. I want to just check out who has done it their thoughts on it. Pros and cons of tub refinishing.

Thank you for your time.

Aiming for a relaxing, earthy, textured sanctuary. But is this design too safe?

Any advice greatly welcomed!

It's not perfect, but it's mine! 😁

This is a small bathroom I am remodeling. The first picture is the AI generated inspo picture. I had what I thought was a good dark navy paint and due to the lighting it turned out like the second picture. I obviously need to repaint so trying to get closer to the third picture. I am going to buy sample paint and actually paint it on the wall so I can see it in the lighting. Anyone have any good luck with brands or names of navy paint. I need this asap so I don’t have the luxury of going to multiple stores.

What do you all think? Dark or light shower floor?

As per the title, the contractor previously mentioned that he'd install the tray first and only then put the tiles on top to ensure that water can't seep through and instead would slide from the tile directly onto the tray.

When I realised late today that they've done floor to ceiling tiles and that the shower tray wasn't taken into account I asked and was told that because the tray will be raised on legs it won't be a problem. I can see several - silicone will be the only barrier for the water, the tray will stick out more meaning that my enclosure may not fit on top and will stick out.

What are the options? Is the only option to pull off the bottom tiles, waterproof with paste, put the tray and then put new cut tiles in? I suspect he'll try to cut them while on the wall - this seems a bit dangerous and will most likely impact the waterproofing course.

For information my shower tray is from Victorian Plumbing, it's the raised offset quadrant Aurora and the enclosure is Torreno also from VP.

Really not sure how to deal with this one, I'm being treated like a hysterical woman for pointing out these obvious concerns. HELP

Looking for any ideas on updating this original 60s bathroom. I am planning to keep the pink wall tiles. Currently torn on keeping the floor or updating it, because I’m not sure what floor would go nicely with the pink wall. Also debating wallpaper on the top half. The space for the sink is tight so also struggling with finding a vanity update but think that would be nice. Any and all suggestions or ideas appreciated :)

1988 gilded in gold original. So the tiles are falling off and the pan is stained. I think they should do a total gut job. However they think they could just patch it up. I don’t think that’s the case. How much do you think this would cost? Are these kits still available? Or is this more custom? Any suggestions?

We just had a new vanity installed, and due to either the vanity not being perfectly square, the wall, or a combination of both, it doesn’t sit completely flush against the wall. We didn’t expect it to be perfect, but this is what we ended up with.

That said, what’s the best way to address the gap? It’s not large enough for anything to fall down the side, but it is large enough to allow water in and is noticeable aesthetically.

I don’t have a measuring tape handy, but the sink is roughly two inches below the outlet. Do sidesplashes come in narrower widths? Similarly, for the back, are there narrower backsplash options? The sink’s drain mechanism is fairly close to the wall behind the faucet, so I’m wondering if a standard backsplash would even work there.

This is our first bathroom remodel, so we’re learning as we go!

Thanks for your help.

My small townhome’s first floor powder room has been the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen. I hated the pedestal sink so I bought this beautiful Ariel vanity with marble countertop and added solid brass hardware. I had an idea in my head of adding wainscoting, crown moulding and some wallpaper and cam up with this design. It’s not the exact wallpaper of my choice but you get the picture. Vegas quotes have been insane but this has been the average price of a skim coat, paint, installation, ect. Thoughts? Or just paint it and add the rest of the brass pieces and call it a day.
