Before we start renovating the wall tiles in the bathroom, we need to do some preparations:
Make sure all water sources are turned off and drain the restroom.
Clean the walls and remove dust, stains, etc. from the walls.
Prepare the tools and materials you need, such as tile cutters, brushes, scrapers, cement, caulk, etc.
Make sure you're safe and wear gloves and goggles before removing old tiles.
Use a scraper to scrape the mortar off the old tiles.
Using a hammer and chisel, tap the edges of the old tiles to break them gradually.
Carefully remove the broken tiles one by one to avoid damaging the wall.
Before installing new tiles, we need to treat the wall surface properly.
Inspect the wall for cracks or unevenness, and repair it if necessary.
Use cement mortar to fill in the uneven parts of the wall and make it flat.
After the cement mortar waiting to be filled is completely dry, use sandpaper to smooth the wall.
Now it's time to install new tiles.
Measure the size of the wall and cut the tiles to the right size according to your actual needs.
Apply a layer of tile glue to the wall and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Stick the tiles to the wall one by one, making sure they are in both horizontal and vertical positions.
Use a rubber mace to gently tap the tile so that it adheres firmly to the wall.
After the tile installation is completed, we need to carry out caulking and cleaning.
Use caulk to fill the gaps between the tiles and scrape them flat with a scraper.
After waiting for the caulk to dry, wipe the wall with a damp cloth to remove stains and residue from the surface of the tiles.
In order to maintain the beauty and longevity of the bathroom wall tiles, we need to carry out proper care and maintenance.
Clean regularly: Clean tile surfaces with mild soapy water or tile cleaners, and avoid using detergents that are too acidic or alkaline.
Prevent breakage: Avoid using sharp objects to hit the tiles to avoid breakage.
Waterproofing: Use a waterproofing agent to treat the surface of the tile to increase its waterproofing performance.
Regular inspection: Regularly check the condition of tile glue and caulk, and replace it in time if it is damaged or aging.
