I tugged out a loose 4-inch tile in our walk-in shower thinking I might have to reattach it or do some minor patching behind it (since my wife is out of town for a few days), but found the wallboard behind it had crumbled, apparently due to leakage in the grout. (I had a plumber come out and he...

Hi Everyone, I have a condo build in 1946, complete with yellow and black vintage tile. The shower has a recessed soap dish and I currently need some advice on fixing the grout surround. The soap dish does not have evenly spaced grout joints; the left side is a normal thin line that matches the...

We discovered loose tiles in our stand-up shower, which led to the removal of the entire small ledge at the end of our shower where shampoo bottles and stuff go, along with two rows of tiles along the side of the shower. We had to remove all of the green board because it was crumbling; however...

I have 4 - 8 inch granite corner shelves for the shower. They are 1 & 1/8 inches think, kinda of heavy. I am trying to figure out the best way to install them. I am in the process of tiling the bathroom & shower. I am planning on using the waterproof membrane "Kerdi" in the shower. I have...
