Good morning @Tywo 

Very impressive looking bathroom now!

The first photo - were those old tiles hard to lift? What tool are you using there?

(I would like to renovate my own bathroom)

Cheers.

Hi Graeme,

I bought an Ozito hammer drill/jack hammer for around $100 and they came up relatively easy.

Awesome project @Tywo! That's an excellent level of finish you've achieved. I presume it's not the first time you've attempted tiling?

I trust our members would be interested in hearing more about the steps you took to complete the project. Any additional details you can provide would be genuinely appreciated.

Many thanks for sharing.

Hi Mitchell 

I come up with the plans and my handyman partner helped me to achieve my results. My partner has done a few small tiling jobs at home before and is very much a perfectionist, hence the fantastic finish.

The hardest part was stripping the entire room and removing old tiles, toilet, shower screen and vanity. The floor needed quite a bit of levelling to get the right fall for floor and shower drains which we achieved by adding a screed of cement based tile glue.  The same could be achieved using a sand and cement mix.
