We recently had to remodel the bathroom due to the tub breaking and flooding below it to the basement. The tub bottom literally busted through. I don't know why someone would tile a whole bathroom and not put in a decent quality tub. So we had to have it completely retiled. It does look better with the new tile. A lot brighter and clean.
Because of a broken bathtub that flooded the floor, we have need for an update to a bathroom in one of my homes. The house is in a suburb just west of Chicago and was built midcentury early 1950's. I believe it was built in 1952. It still has a coal heat stove in the basement although has been retrofitted with central heat and air conditioning throughout. And although Chicago Water and Fire were able to remove and dry the old boards and remove the tub without damaging any tile, we will have to replace it to install a new tub. So although I love the design and handiwork of this tile job, it looks like it will...
