Our house is about 60 years old, and the bathroom still has the original tile - mainly because it is backed by an inch of cement, walls and floor! Demo will be a nightmare and since we only have the one bathroom, it never seemed like a good time to renovate. We have replaced the sink unit before, but around the faucets in the bath the tile has been cracked and ugly.
Scott works so hard doing construction other places, the last place he wants to tear up is his refuge! But he decided he'd had enough and wanted to replace the tile. So he tore it off
You can see where the water had eroded the cement! Only needed a patch
Time for new tile. They don't make this blue tile anymore, so he went with white to match the tub
New fixtures (lack of choice to fit this old bathroom!) and some grout later, shiny new space...
The funny part is, emma just asked me if he replaced all the tile. She noticed it looked like new - she noticed he had regrouted all the blue tile too! Can't say I would've if he didn't tell me.
Of course now I want to redo the whole room, but that will take some planning to be without a toilet or shower for a week or more!
And we are still to find something he can't do!
