"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

No, you don’t need to remove the old grout before installing new tile over existing tile. In fact, the old grout helps fill in gaps between tiles, creating a more even surface for the new layer. However, it's important to ensure that the grout is clean, solid, and free of cracks or crumbling areas. Damaged grout should be repaired or replaced before proceeding. Cleaning the surface thoroughly and filling any low spots will help the new adhesive bond properly and ensure a smooth, stable installation.

Penny tile should be sealed to protect the grout from moisture and keep stains from damaging the look of the tile. If penny tile is in a humid or high-traffic area, like a bathroom, kitchen, or entryway, it needs sealant. Any type of tile and grout is best maintained with a sealant reapplied by a pro every one to two years.

The lifespan of bathroom tile can be 50 years or more, depending on proper installation and regular maintenance. A well-done tile job, whether it's a new installation or a retiling project, can last for many decades. To lengthen the life of your tile, it's best to have it installed by a professional and to perform regular maintenance. This includes routine cleaning, resealing, and regrouting as needed. With proper care, you can expect your tile to last 10 years or more before needing major repairs or retiling, especially in high-traffic areas where tiles can wear out more quickly.

If you want your ceramic tiles to be evenly spaced and installation to take less time, spacers are a crucial part of the installation process.

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.
