Marble Tile Installation | Master Bath Remodel (Part 6)

In this video, I install 1,700 pounds of Carrara Marble tile in my new master bathroom. The shower walls, ceiling, and bathroom walls are 4x8, the bathroom floor is 8x20, and the shower pan and niches are 12x12 mosaic sheets. The grout is Whisper Gray.
Over the Winter of 2018, I gutted my tiny master bathroom, moved a wall to double the useable space, and completely rebuilt it from the ground up with high-end finishes like Carrara Marble and a smart shower.

In some settings in blink quite often and the far away setting it blinks every 30 ( I think) seconds. Dos yours do that? I don't know if this is normal. (Blinks meaning goes off once and comes back on)

Can you please tell me the name of the tile and where you got it please ? I love ! Great job

@handydadtv Год назад

It’s Carrera Marble tile from a local tile store. But I don’t recommend natural marble. It’s beautiful when new, but you can’t use “normal” bleach based cleaners so it’s a pain to maintain. I recommend you look for a ceramic tile that looks like marble.

@cavy95 8 месяцев назад

I just bought is kind of tile, and was about to diy, but after seeing your video I am returning the Carrara marble tile and going with subway tile. Thanks for saving me 6 weeks and a hassle of cleaning natural stone. 🎉

@handydadtv 3 года назад

I got them from a local tile store. Not online. I don’t recommend using natural marble, though. It’s too fragile and hard to clean because you can’t use bleach. It’s better to use a ceramic tile that looks like marble, if you want that look. I also recommend dark grout. It’s really hard to keep white grout clean.

@handydadtv 4 года назад

The white flex thinset from Home Depot. Not sure of the brand, but it’s the one for “normal” size tiles (there’s a different one for large format).

@rayraybhai6089 4 года назад

Hey Chris can you guide me to where you bought the floor and wall marble and which ones? I am doing my half bath and would like to use the same marble. Thanks!

@handydadtv 4 года назад

We bought it at The Tile Shop on Rt 35 in Oakhurst. But I wouldn’t recommend natural marble. Granted, it’s beautiful, but you can’t clean the grout with normal detergents or bleach because it could damage the marble. If I could do it again, I would get a ceramic tile that looks like marble.

@hardcooling 2 года назад

Do you recommend installing the wall tiles first or the floor tiles first

@handydadtv 2 года назад

Walls make a mess. So I do the floor last because I don’t want to damage it while doing the walls.

I’m about to embark on a custom bathroom remodel as well. Thanks for posting all of this, this is giving me a lot of confidence to attempt it on my own. I looked through the videos you posted regarding the master bath remodel and didn’t see one around the shower glass work. Is there not a video because it’s not that big of a deal😀? Did you have to do custom glass or were you able to find some pre-fabricated glass that fit what you were targeting? Thanks for your work.

@handydadtv 4 года назад

You’re right; I never talked about the doors in any of the videos. Frameless glass doors definitely are not a DIY installation. Ours were done by a local pro who specializes in shower doors. Not cheap, but they make it look so much bigger.

@dynamicgarage8731 6 лет назад

What brand Grout did you go with? Also, sanded or non sanded? Remodeling my bathroom... Thanks!

@handydadtv 6 лет назад

Marble can only have non-sanded grout because the sand will scratch it. But I recently saw Starr Tile use a different kind of grout with marble in one of his videos maybe 2 months ago. You should ask him. The color was Whisper Gray and the brand was Superior. Got it from my tile store.

@nenaxen 3 года назад

15:33 should marble tiles be sealed with sealer before grouting as manufacturers recommend to avoid damage by the grout?

@handydadtv 3 года назад

I didn't do that.

@Deanna_Marie_ 4 года назад

I'd love to know how sealed marble holds up over time? I'm considering order it for a bathroom floor & shower.

@handydadtv 4 года назад

I’ve sealed mine twice. The marble looks brand new. It’s a challenge to keep the grout clean because I can’t use strong cleaners on the marble. My advice: don’t use natural marble. Pick a ceramic tile that looks like marble.

@emiliacristurean3007 5 лет назад

I believe it’s an awesome video explaining installing the marble tile. Can you give me a tip of what kind of thinset or what adhesive is best to use in the installation?

@scottc4773 4 года назад

Doing my own shower too. Did you use caulk in the shower corners and changes of plane or grout? Any thoughts? Thanks

@handydadtv 4 года назад

No, I didn't caulk. Two reasons. First, I find it very difficult to keep grout out of the corners. Second, in my experience, caulk never matches the color of the grout so it doesn't look good. With Redgard behind it, I'm not worried about leaks, even if it cracks.

I agree. Next time I would get a ceramic tile that looks like marble.

@margaretdegnan1874 4 года назад

Yikes! Was going to begin my tile install tomorrow and just saw your comment where you said you would install ceramic next time. Have you had any staining on your marble? Has the maintenance and upkeep of the marble been a huge pain in the neck? My wall and floor marble selections are exactly the same as yours. Thanks in advance for your input. Oh, and you did a beautiful job on your bathroom.

@handydadtv 4 года назад

The marble is fine, but the grout is discoloring even though I sealed everything twice. And I have a LOT of grout! The real downside is you need to use mild cleaners with marble. No bleach. So it’s hard to get the grout clean. If you use a ceramic tile with a marble look, you can use bleach-based cleaners to keep your grout clean.

@margaretdegnan1874 4 года назад

Thanks SO much for your input and advice. Sounds like I'll be making another trip to tile store today. I'd heard the negatives about using marble tile, but was going to push through and use it anyway. I think you just changed my mind. The idea of returning and carrying all the purchased tile from my attic to my car and back to the store makes me want to cry (SO MANY BOXES!). I really appreciate your response, HandyDadTV.

Thanks for the links to the tile experts, I am in the middle of retiling my bathroom and found the celling tile video very interesting.

@micaonyx5301 2 года назад

Great job. Your tile is almost identical to mine from wall to the floor. I'm wondering if you have a basement, if the weight of tile a concern because that's a lot of weight to support. BTW I tiled my ceiling as well, with the same ceiling tiles as you.

@handydadtv 2 года назад

I like the look of natural marble, but didn’t like the maintenance because you can’t use any products with bleach. This bathroom was on a second floor above my kitchen and I never worried about the weight of the tile on the ceiling below. It was fine.

@johnnyboy3563 5 лет назад

Please help. My contractor just installed a beautiful marble tile shower almost exactly like this one, but then he put caulking everywhere. He caulked the whole corner from ceiling to pan (I used a shower pan not tile on the floor), he caulked along the pan inside the shower, he caulked along the ceiling, again on the marble, and along the glass door. Basically he caulked wherever marble is touching glass, acrylic, ceiling, and even marble (the corner). It looks terrible because he chose a gray caulking. At first I thought he should have used white, but now I'm even wondering if this makes sense at all? I don't see caulking in any of the pictures online. Thank you!

@johnnyboy3563 5 лет назад

I did a bit more research and now I'm not sure if he shouldn't caulk at all or if he just didn't do it properly. His caulking is thick! He said he couldn't cut the hole less than 1/8 of an inch. Except I just saw a vid where the guy uses a caulking tool and scrapes off the excess. Should the caulk just look like grout? Because mine doesn't. It's thick and terrible.

@handydadtv 5 лет назад

Caulk is often used where two surfaces meet because grout can crack in those areas. I prefer to use it as a last resort, ie. AFTER grout begins to crack, because caulk doesn’t last forever. Water will leech under it and cause mildew so it needs to be replaced periodically (it’s not “one and done”). That said, it’s not necessarily WRONG for your contractor to caulk those high risk areas. It just sounds like a bad caulking job. You can either get him to come back to replace it and do it right, replace it yourself, or live with it. If you decide to do it yourself, DO NOT USE ANYTHING METAL against your marble. It is soft and will scratch. Get a plastic grout removal tool from a paint store.
