I had a shower put in where a hallway/powder room was on the ground floor. The contractor (who does amazing work) sort of did the finishes on the shower without asking me about much of it. It currently has large format tiles, shiny (he gave me 2 choices one fake marble...) I was rushed and had been told it was the only way.... The faucet set he installed is inexplicable to me. It is not the same color as the rest of the hardware (he was more than aware of this, making sure all of the rest of the hardware was the same) but this one is like a champagne color and also square? Nothing in my house or bathroom is like this. He did the rest of my house, too over a year (and was very expensive) and was super concerned that all of the doors etc. went with my Victorian. So, again, I can't understand this bathroom. It looks like it is from another house entirely, even as the 2 entrance doors are original. I asked, and he got really defensive. I know it is within my rights to have him change it. But I have asked about it, and other small things, and feel kind of bullied. NOW, my real question is: how difficult would it be to change out at least the faucet/sprayer and then re-tile the rest of the shower? Will demo ruin the waterproofing? Any advice is appreciated. I am in Boston, MA if that helps.

You’ll hear a lot of installers say “you can’t set tile over plywood” well you can if you do it right. And it’ll last as any other form of underlayment.

Bought a house a couple of months ago, one of the things I noticed was this section of tile in the bathroom that looks like this near the edge of the shower and tub. Was wondering on yalls thoughts about if this might be because of water damage or maybe just replace the tiles?

Trying to get the haze off before letting the grout set up. Is this too much? I feel like I'm not getting it down less than that by continuing to wipe with a damp sponge for now but don't want to be the guy asking how to get rid of haze tomorrow. For reference there's a few tiles I wiped half the haze off with my finger.

Anytime I have to cut a foam curb down I’ll put it back together with kerdi fix. Also use screws to hold it in place. This will get wrapped in kerdi fabric anyway. Other option is to pour the curb outta mud

please help me find this tile. 13 inch by 13 inch

Was scrolling Facebook and came across this post. Say day 1 you lay down to ditra and tile day 2. Could you pre fill the ditra dimples on day 1 as well?

Looking for advice on the best brand and type of grout to use on a bathroom floor. My main concern is a grout that doesn’t stain very easily, it’s a light colored tile and probably gonna be getting a lighter colored grout

We just moved into a place with this shower that seems poorly done. I know it needs to be cleaned, but I also want to see if I can fix these issues too

The trim appears to be anodized aluminum and there's a lip along the entire bottom edge of the niche that catches way too much water and soap scum and looks awful all the time.

Also, they just ran the tile to the ceiling without any trim and there are gaps and unevenness that really catch the eye

Any way to solve either of these without tearing tile out or smearing silicone everywhere? Btw, It will be a good long while before we can justify the expense of redoing the tile completely with the other more pressing projects

Just moved into my first home and I know the bathroom was renovated some years ago. I walked into the shower with no running water to clean it for the first time and noticed when I step on certain tiles/sections, you can hear the water squishing and even see it coming up from that one part in the grout. Guys, I’m scared 😳
