"Very professional and on time reasonable price. I am concerned as I am not the professional. The work was completed when I went to look it over the spots that were cracked and the reason I called this person to assist me with were still showing some cracks and missing grout spots. He was kind enough to go over the 5 spots I pointed out and the 2 areas were cracked but this is where my concern starts. When I am told the work is done and I look it over and see that it is not done completely, I worry about what I am missing as this should have been seen from the beginning. Maybe I am worrying to much but that gives me a very uneasy feeling. Once time passes and I use the shower a few times with no issue I will update my rating but as of now only time will tell. Nice people just left me wondering if it was all done correctly and to last."

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts
Yes, but you’ll have to use some other type of tool to avoid damaging the tile and possibly injuring yourself. Some alternatives to tile cutters include a glass cutter, angle grinder, and wet saw. Depending on the tile material, you might simply be able to measure and score it with something sharp, like a carbide-tipped pencil, and break it off. Be sure to sand the edge for a smooth installation.
No, you don’t technically need a cement backer board for a wall tiling project, but not using it risks disastrous moisture damage. Cement is naturally water-resistant, whereas drywall soaks it in, which can lead to warping or mold growth. Always use a backer board treated with a waterproof membrane for bathrooms and other chronically damp areas to ensure complete tile shower waterproofing.
Yes, it’s always a good idea to keep a box or two of spare tiles after a home renovation project. Tiles can crack from improper installation, heavy foot traffic, and impact from drops. Having some extra tile on hand can make replacement fast, easy, and affordable. Plus, some manufacturers might discontinue particular colors or styles, and slight variations in tile colors between batches could mean mismatched tiles even if your product isn’t discontinued. Having a few spare tiles in storage can help avoid these issues, as well.
Tiling over your existing backsplash is possible with the right materials and preparation. To do this, the existing backsplash must be clean and free of damage. If you’re installing the new tiles with thinset mortar, the thinset will fill in the existing grout lines as you go, so there won’t be any low spots. If you’re installing a peel and stick tile backsplash, you’ll need to add grout to the existing grout lines first to create a level surface.
Installations typically take 1-3 days, depending on area size; repairs are usually completed sooner if the issue is localized.
