Replacing shower wall tile and backer board
I keep getting conflicting input from online sources on this, so I’ll ask here: My boyfriend’s shower walls are all tiled. Last weekend, he put too much weight on the soap dish—which was attached to a couple tiles—and the dish and 2 tiles fell off the wall. Looking behind it, the backer board is completely rotted out. You can tell by looking at the grout that it wasn’t sealed properly by previous homeowner. I’m not sure where to start. I’ve done tiling before, but never had to waterproof or replace backer board. Any input is super welcome! submitted by /u/anonymouse_696 [link] [comments]
