"John contacted me and gave me a reasonable estimate to install floor tile then porcelain and glass tile for a tub surround. He was upfront that he was very busy and would try to work me in to his schedule. I appreciated John's honesty about being busy and was ok with waiting. John was able to get the floor done a week later and was able to finish the tub surround within a month. All of the tile work was beautiful! Communication was not the best so I had to pester John a bit but he was always very pleasant. I do however understand this happens when someone is a sole owner/operator with no office staff. As a second homeowner, I was around for the floor install but not the tub surround. The job site was not cleaned up as much as I would have liked but not so bad to drop a star. I also realize with winter snow and ice that it's much harder to keep things clean when you have to come in and out of the house a lot to cut tiles and mix mortar and grout."

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can tile over existing tiles in a bathroom, but it is not always recommended. For this method to be successful, the original tile surface must be clean, flat, and free of damage such as cracks, unevenness, mold, or mildew. While tiling over existing tiles can save time and money, there are potential drawbacks. The new adhesive may not bond properly, and the process adds extra weight to the wall or floor. Additionally, the increased height of the surface could interfere with door clearances. For the best and most durable results, removing the old tiles before installing new ones is generally the better option.

Glazed ceramic tiles don’t need to be sealed because the glazing already offers some protection against moisture. Unglazed ceramic tiles need to be sealed to keep the porous tile safe from moisture and staining. However, both types of tile can benefit from sealing. Sealant can make the tiles easier to keep clean and offer more resistance to water, spills, and stains.

Your tiles will have a significant visual impact on your bathroom, so you’ll want to make a thoughtful decision. Once you land on the tile material that suits your needs and budget, you can consider the color schemes you want. Consider whether you want something modern, classic, or eye-catching.

If you hire a professional to install a new floor, you can expect to pay between $50 and $75 per hour for labor. It takes two days on average to install a new floor as part of a bathroom remodeling project, but your timeline depends on your bathroom’s size and layout.

The best trowel for penny tile is a 3/16-inch-by-5/32-inch V-notch trowel. Because of the small size of the penny tile, you want a trowel with small notches that can lay a thin layer of mortar on the surface you’re tiling. If the notches are too wide, you risk applying too thick of a layer of mortar, and it can squeeze out between the penny tiles.
