How to Change a Bathroom Wall Tile

Tiling your bathroom walls can give your bathroom a whole new look. While it may seem like a daunting task, it's actually quite easy to do yourself. Just follow these simple steps and you'll have new bathroom tiles in no time.

1. Gather your materials

To change your bathroom wall tiles, you will need the following materials:

New bathroom tiles
Tile adhesive
Grout
Tile spacers
Notched trowel
Tile cutter
Measuring tape
Level

2. Prepare the walls

Before you can start tiling, you need to prepare the walls. This means removing any old tiles, cleaning the walls, and making sure they are level. To remove old tiles, you can use a hammer and chisel. To clean the walls, you can use a mixture of water and vinegar. To level the walls, you can use a level and a shim.

3. Apply the tile adhesive

Once the walls are prepared, you can start applying the tile adhesive. To do this, you will need a notched trowel. Spread the adhesive onto the wall in a thin, even layer. Be sure to leave enough space between each tile for the grout.

4. Place the tiles

Once the adhesive has been applied, you can start placing the tiles. Start from the bottom of the wall and work your way up. Use the tile spacers to ensure that the tiles are evenly spaced. Press each tile firmly into place.

5. Grout the tiles

Once the tiles are in place, you can grout them. To do this, you will need a grout float. Spread the grout onto the tiles in a thin, even layer. Be sure to work the grout into the joints between the tiles. Allow the grout to dry for 24 hours.

6. Seal the tiles

Once the grout has dried, you can seal the tiles. To do this, you will need a tile sealer. Apply the sealer to the tiles in a thin, even layer. Allow the sealer to dry for 24 hours.
