Here's a timesaving tip: Since you're going to replace the old drywall, instead of chipping the old tile off the wall, cut around it with a wallboard or other saw, then gently pry the drywall from the studs and take the whole thing off in one piece. For the long side of the bathtub, you may need to cut it in half,

When you step in a tub it will flex..grouting all the way down may crack as a result of the constant flexing over time...especially acrylic tubs.

Additional updates added below! I went to my local Lowe's for a tile class today and I was disappointed that they had had a miscommunication about the class. The Store Manager, Will, was so nice that he has arranged to have a private class for me tomorrow on Super Bowl Sunday at 4pm! That is how you satisfy a customer. I am so excited that he cared enough to make sure that I remained a satisfied Lowe's customer. I am in that store 2 or 3 times a week and they call me the project lady. I want to re-tile my fireplaces, master bedroom showers, backsplash and around my kitchen sink. Well it starts with my first class tomorrow. Thanks Lowe's I had my Super Bowl Sunday Tile tutorial! It was so much fun! First of all I am so flattered that they setup an actual wall for my private class. Josh, my amazing teacher, demonstrated the howto process and he had me do the actual process from beginning to end. I tiled! I applied adhesive and grout. And I cleaned the tile. I think this was the best Super Bowl Sunday EVER! Special thanks to Will and Josh at Lowe’s in Kathleen. 👍👍👍👍👍

@gahvno 9 ай бұрын
In the "Old Days" we floated the tile on concrete and chicken wire, similar to stuccoing the exterior of a house. It was designed to last forever and no chance of any water leakage if done correctly. The downside of this is that when it all needs to be removed for a remodel, it's a back-breaking job and usually requires an impact hammer. Anyone who used standard drywall for a shower tile installation would have been laughed out of the place. It sure would make tearing out a lot easier, though! :) Otherwise, a very helpful video for a lot of folks.
