Bathroom Renovation: Tile Installation and Bathtub Cladding

This approach allowed the homeowner to refresh the space efficiently and achieve a clean, modern result.

⸻

Initial Condition of the Bathroom

Before renovation, the bathroom showed common issues:

• outdated wall finishes around the bathtub

• worn or visually inconsistent tile surfaces

• an overall tired appearance despite functional plumbing

The bathtub itself was still in usable condition, making it a good candidate for cladding rather than replacement.

⸻

Project Scope and Planning

The scope of work was carefully defined to focus on the most impactful upgrades:

• preparation of wall surfaces

• tile installation in key wet areas

• bathtub cladding for a unified finish

• careful alignment and finishing details

By limiting the work to these elements, the renovation remained efficient while delivering a visible transformation.

⸻

Surface Preparation

Proper preparation is essential in any bathroom tile project. This stage included:

• cleaning and leveling wall surfaces

• ensuring proper adhesion areas for tile

• addressing minor imperfections before installation

Skipping preparation often leads to tile failure, uneven lines, or water intrusion over time.

⸻

Tile Installation

The tile installation process focused on precision and durability:

• tiles were laid with consistent spacing

• cuts were carefully made around fixtures and edges

• alignment was checked continuously to maintain clean lines

Correct tile installation not only improves appearance but also protects walls from moisture.

⸻

Bathtub Cladding

Instead of removing the bathtub, cladding was installed to:

• refresh the visual look of the tub area

• create a seamless transition between tile and tub

• improve water resistance and ease of maintenance

This solution preserved the existing tub while achieving a modern, cohesive finish.

⸻

Grouting, Sealing, and Finishing

Once tiles were installed:

• grout was applied evenly and cleaned carefully

• all joints were sealed to prevent moisture penetration

• edges and transitions were finished for a clean look

These final steps are critical for long-term durability in a wet environment.

⸻

Result: A Clean and Updated Bathroom

After completion, the bathroom felt:

• brighter and more cohesive

• visually modern without altering the layout

• easier to maintain due to updated surfaces

The renovation delivered a noticeable improvement without unnecessary demolition.

⸻

Why Professional Tile and Bathroom Work Matters

Bathroom tile installation and bathtub cladding require experience. Incorrect slopes, poor sealing, or uneven tile placement can lead to water damage behind walls.

Professional work ensures:

• proper water protection

• clean, straight lines

• durable finishes that last
