Bad tile job, that didn't have to be. Sometimes it is the missed or ignored details that will make an otherwise decent tile installation look really bad. In this video I show why a tile job that could have been very good, actually looks very bad because they did a poor layout, had huge caulk joints at the corners tub and ceiling, mismatched corner cuts and generally little attention to details that would have made this tub surround actually a good install. All tile installed by Sal DiBlasi, Elite-tile Company, in the Boston North Shore area.

@fartpooboxohyeah8611 2 года назад

The thing is, Sal is good, but he does things other tile setters wouldn't either. People have rightly roasted Sal at times. No one is perfect. Also saying other installers were lazy or not getting paid enough is just disrespectful. You never know why things are done they way they are, sometimes a builder or general contractor or homeowner dictates how to layout a project and you try to talk them out of it but they have final say. Could be because they didn't have enough tile for all the cuts, could be the tile is no longer available, could be they are anal and only want full and half pieces. I've actual had a builder tell me they don't want a tiny slivers at the ceiling and to just grout it. I also recently had no choice but to leave a 1/2" grout-joint on outside of a shower-curb where the tile meets the bathroom floor because it was an add-on and they didn't have enough tile and didn't want to pay to order a whole new box. You just don't know. Sal is a little holier-than-tho-at times. He should know better.

@fartpooboxohyeah8611 Год назад

Sal is a pretty good tile installer, but man, the guy cuts down other peoples work a lot. The job looks good, there could be reasons why they left things they way they did. An example could be that the homeowner didn't order enough tile in order to cut full tiles slightly bigger than half to fit perfectly on the side walls so they had no choice but to go with half tiles and leave a slightly bigger grout joint in the corners than what might be preferred. He says they didn't bother cutting the tile at the tub but instead cut in at the ceiling, lol. Did you put a level on the tub? I've was in the middle of putting 1/8" sliver pieces of tile at the ceiling for a customer one time and had them tell me just to grout it instead, that it looks better without a tiny piece of tile that draws attention to the gap. You just don't know what other installers were up against. I really wish Sal would stop the "hollier than tho" attitude. I've seen things in his installations that wouldn't pass muster too. We're all human.

@WXSTANG Год назад

But I haven’t had a single callback on my work being an issue except for one job, I had a helper who wasn’t paying attention to my layout it was suppose to be 1/3 offset but he did a standard brickset, I should have been more attentive to his work but I dropped the ball and it cost me two days of work and I had to purchase all new materials.

@Eusantdac 2 года назад

There is a third reason maybe. I did my own bathroom and because I never did that before, I failed to check if my ceiling was straight, the studs and the bathtub. When I saw that the bathtub was not straight and that my wall tiles would not line-up properly, I was too far into what I was doing to remove the bathtub and put it back straight. Therefore, I ended-up with a thick bead of silicone at the bottom, where bathtub meets the firs row of tiles. It was a good lesson for me: check all plains before beginning the work, to see if everything is straight. In my defense, why don;t people put things straight to begin with and not make my life harder when I try to do some work? lol

@justtime6736 2 года назад

@LABoyko Год назад

I leave 1/16 inch gap between tile and bath and silicone that with a 1/8th bead of silicone. It looks better than a 1/4in bead, BUT it will crack if the bath/shower base has some flex. Try 1/8 to begin with, and redo a bigger one if it cracks. Half the time it will crack, specially with an acrylic base.

@MeaghanMunozDickson 2 года назад

Hi Sal. Love your videos. I have a bathroom that seems to have a really nice upgrade of tiled floor, shower and paint. My question for you is, why after about five years, the grout seems to be wearing away and the paint on the drywall seems to peel in some areas? There is also a brown orange residue that is on the walls like the painting is crying..... This is so weird and I've seen that same thing on the paint in the hallway. Is this a moisture issue like the shower fan isn't working properly? What can I do to mitigate this?

@jamescrispin2567 2 года назад

Hi meg. Just incase sal doesnt have the time I thought I'd try and answer some of your questions. He is truly a master Tiler! I do alot of kitchens and bathrooms myself including decorating etc. The peeling paint you mention, if it's been plastered, before painting you must " seal " the plaster, or do a " wash coat " it's sometimes called. Basically a mixture of emulsion paint and water, which is painted on first as the new plaster will soak it up and hopefully help prevent any paint from peeling, it helps the paint to stick and bond well. I've done countless jobs where you can peel paint off the wall like paper normally due to the plaster not being sealed. The orange brownish stuff sounds like a water staining of some sort. If not treated with a stain blocker or specialist type paint " zinnser B-I-N PRIMER " is very good, you will get any stains " bleed " through your top colour of paint. If you've noticed in your hallway, I'd suggest it sounds like this, especially if on a ceiling etc, can be a good indicator of any previous leaks etc that have occurred. The grout can sometimes crack and bits fall off if it's a thin grout line, or theres movement for whatever reason, grout mixed up with too much water that has weakened it, bit tricky to definitively say. Anyway I hope this has helped in some way. Wishing you all the best

@avisitorhere Год назад

Sal, they're stuck with the corners but do you think that using white caulk at the tub and ceiling line would help diminish that fat caulk line? I think matching the ceiling and tub color would help minimize its appearance. But yeah, they were lazy.

@gotshun Год назад

I've had to spackle the ceiling several times to get the tiles to match all the way around. I don't think I ever seen a complete level ceiling in the bath tub area. I cant stand doing all that tile work and you get to the ceiling and its uneven. Makes me nuts. So I level the ceiling even though I don't get paid for it. It has to be level. So I understand where Sal is coming from. Thanks for posting dude!

@JT_70 2 года назад

Most likely either a DIY job or inexperienced tiler and not a lazy tiler. I wish Sal could see the tile job in my bathrooms, supposedly done by professional tilers before I bought the house from the builder. One small shower has every width grout line you could imagine, from 0 to about 1/2”. It’s especially noticeable where 4 tiles meet and all the grout lines are different, not to mention lippage, misalignment, sloppy and uneven cuts, etc. The tile floors in the bath are about the same. One threshold has about a 3/4” grout fill. And the builder accepted such crappy work (lowest bidder, I’m sure)! I redid the master bath myself with no tile experience (but lots of Sal’s videos) and it’s 1000% better than before.

Do you know what I’d like to see? I have a situation where my tile contractor didn’t notice some really ugly defects on a 2’x2’ floor tile in my washroom over Schluter ditra heat floor. Now he’s scared to remove the tile. I’d love to see a video on best practice to remove a tile to minimize potential damage to heat cable. I already wired up the cable and used a thermal camera to mark where the cable is under the tile. I’m planning on using a oscillating tool to remove grout around tile, then use an angle grinder to cut lines in tile parallel to heat cables but centered between them and then smash tile strips out with hammer. I would love to see how you would approach it.

@peepholepeople4490 9 месяцев назад

Thermal camera is really good thinking. How did the demo go? I’m in the tile guys camp, wouldnt want to remove tile from a heated floor. Gotta be really careful.

@mikenunes1245 3 месяца назад

Demo went great. Changed my strategy though. I double layer taped the adjacent tiles, to not chip them on the edges. Then I took a utility knife and cut away at the grout. With the grout removed and the wires marked, I hit the tile with a ball hammer (rounded end) between where the wires were. Tile broke fine. Took many hits and much chipping away. Then I took a margin trowel and used a hammer on it to chip away thinset without making contact with the wire. Very tedious work but the attention to detail and patience worked out. With the hard part done, no one wants to put the tile back in. So I guess that's mine to take over too.

It could have been a DIY job completed by someone who doesn't spend as much time as I do watching your videos.

True…because tile work is getting so expensive…and it’s all aesthetic anyways there’s no function it’s all for looks

Why would you call other trade guy a lazy when you never know what was the situation is at the time. Also as professional i can see it but from homeowner prospective I don’t think it will be noticeable to them. Regards.

Looks better than my tile. Yah details matter. Might not be lazzy.. might be lack of experience. They likely stood back when done and then realized some of those flaws. I am sure you sir were not always perfect. Dont point the finger and call it shitwork. Nothing wrong with pointing out a better way to do something.

Little picky.....I've seen some horrendous work

@MoneyManHolmes 2 года назад

Yeah it’s not that bad. The installer was probably trying to minimize cutting and scrap. Sometimes the most attractive layout requires some extra waste.

I’ve seen far worse. Come to the uk and check out some of the crap builders leave here.

The sad thing is, 99% of homeowners think that the tile job in that bathtub/shower is Beautiful and GREAT! AWESOME. That’s the sad part, b/c Tile guys/gals know the truth! Imo, Details always matter, and what’s makes a good tile job EXQUISITELY GREAT! Cheers✌🏻
