Q: Is it better to tile or use a tub surround?

• <div><p>The choice of whether to tile or use an acrylic tub surround is up to you and can be based on a number of factors, including aesthetics, cost, waterproofing, ease of cleaning, and maintenance.</p><p>Tile is a beautiful, classic bathtub surround choice; while <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tile-installation-cost.htm">tile installation cost</a> is higher, it&rsquo;s customizable and offers visual appeal. Tile is also harder to clean and presents waterproofing problems because of grout lines. Acrylic surrounds can be more affordable, don&rsquo;t require much maintenance, and are easier to clean. However, they aren&rsquo;t usually as visually appealing and may need to be replaced if they become damaged.</p></div>

Q: Do you install flooring under a bathtub?

• <div><p>The reasons not to install flooring underneath a bathtub outweigh the benefits. A properly installed bathtub will keep water from reaching the unprotected subfloor underneath. Installing a tub on top of finished flooring can lead to damage and scratches to the new floor. Also, a small leak from a tub drain may be more difficult to notice if finished flooring impedes water drips. </p></div>

Q: Can you install tile over tile?

• <div><p>You can technically install tile over tile, but we don&rsquo;t suggest it. Installing tile over any surface that isn&rsquo;t a completely flat and prepared subfloor will result in a shoddy overall job, uneven flooring, tiles that don&rsquo;t adhere, extra weight, gaps, cracks, and room for moisture and dirt to enter. For the best results, only install new tile on a flat, sanded surface like subflooring or concrete that is prepared for tile.</p><p>If you have asbestos tile and would rather tile over it than remove it, or if your existing tile is completely flat and bonded tightly to the floor, you may be able to tile over existing tile. But experts recommend thinking twice before you do.</p></div>

Q: How much does porcelain tile installation cost?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tile-flooring-choices-descriptions-and-costs.htm">cost to install porcelain tile</a> is about <b>$1,930</b> on average. Porcelain tile prices range from <b>$880 to $3,000</b> or more. The average cost tends to be higher than ceramic tile because porcelain tile is very durable. Porcelain tile rating also factors into the material cost. Tile ratings are as follows:</p><ul><li><p>Grade 0: Walls only</p></li><li><p>Grade 1: Walls and light traffic floors</p></li><li><p>Grade 2: Rooms with light traffic, but not kitchens or hallways</p></li><li><p>Grade 3: Kitchens, hallways, and entryways</p></li><li><p>Grade 4: Any area, interior or exterior</p></li><li><p>Grade 5: Highest durability good for any area, interior or exterior</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Can you use grout and caulk together?

• <div><p>Grout and caulk are commonly used together, especially in bathrooms. Grout goes between the tiles and keeps them sturdy and in place on the walls or floor. Caulk goes in corners or where two different materials meet (like where the bathtub meets the tile) to create a waterproof seal. However, they are not interchangeable&mdash;you shouldn't use caulk to adhere tile and shouldn&rsquo;t use mortar if you need a waterproof seal.</p></div>

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts

The choice of whether to tile or use an acrylic tub surround is up to you and can be based on a number of factors, including aesthetics, cost, waterproofing, ease of cleaning, and maintenance.

Tile is a beautiful, classic bathtub surround choice; while tile installation cost is higher, it’s customizable and offers visual appeal. Tile is also harder to clean and presents waterproofing problems because of grout lines. Acrylic surrounds can be more affordable, don’t require much maintenance, and are easier to clean. However, they aren’t usually as visually appealing and may need to be replaced if they become damaged.

The reasons not to install flooring underneath a bathtub outweigh the benefits. A properly installed bathtub will keep water from reaching the unprotected subfloor underneath. Installing a tub on top of finished flooring can lead to damage and scratches to the new floor. Also, a small leak from a tub drain may be more difficult to notice if finished flooring impedes water drips.

You can technically install tile over tile, but we don’t suggest it. Installing tile over any surface that isn’t a completely flat and prepared subfloor will result in a shoddy overall job, uneven flooring, tiles that don’t adhere, extra weight, gaps, cracks, and room for moisture and dirt to enter. For the best results, only install new tile on a flat, sanded surface like subflooring or concrete that is prepared for tile.

If you have asbestos tile and would rather tile over it than remove it, or if your existing tile is completely flat and bonded tightly to the floor, you may be able to tile over existing tile. But experts recommend thinking twice before you do.

The cost to install porcelain tile is about $1,930 on average. Porcelain tile prices range from $880 to $3,000 or more. The average cost tends to be higher than ceramic tile because porcelain tile is very durable. Porcelain tile rating also factors into the material cost. Tile ratings are as follows:

Grade 0: Walls only
Grade 1: Walls and light traffic floors
Grade 2: Rooms with light traffic, but not kitchens or hallways
Grade 3: Kitchens, hallways, and entryways
Grade 4: Any area, interior or exterior
Grade 5: Highest durability good for any area, interior or exterior

Grout and caulk are commonly used together, especially in bathrooms. Grout goes between the tiles and keeps them sturdy and in place on the walls or floor. Caulk goes in corners or where two different materials meet (like where the bathtub meets the tile) to create a waterproof seal.
