What was there before was this.
Can i build a bath tub out of tiles.
Lower bath from supports beneath the bath.
Be careful not to puncture the waterproof membrane when installing mortar over it.
You would need to break the silicone seal between the tiles and the bath using a stanley knife of similar and then ease the bath out very slowly.
A homemade tub will generally cost more than a purchased tub but can be shaped to fit an unusual space or made longer taller or wider than standard tubs.
Yoiu need a spanner and grips for this.
Not to mention that tile is not the most comfortable product to sit on.
Tubs can be built from wood concrete or tile covered masonry.
Wow i have no idea what half of that means.
You will also have to worry about getting proper pitch in the tub etc.
Hi not a problem.
Slow careful process.
Is possible but you would need to be very careful.
You can however tile the walls or platform surrounding the tub just not the tub itself.
This will help keep your first line of tiles level and stay in place just make sure the board is straight.
If you plan to shower there you may want to get a tub that has a tile flange on three sides and frame to it.
For a shower enclosure extend the tile and the backerboard at least 6 inches above the showerhead.
If it s just a soaking tub you can buy the tub first and then build a tiled deck to drop it into.
Depending on the size and weight of your tiles you may benefit from screwing a starter board into the cement board.
Pull bath out carefully.
Cut around mastic between bathe and tiles using stanley knife mastic removing product.
No reason why it shouldn t work if the walls and floor of the tub are thick enough and you use the proper tile cement and grout as used for swimming pools if the romans can do it no reason why you.
To help hide the awkward appearance of an out of level tub make the bottom row of tiles at least three fourths of a tile high.
Once you ve planned out your layout you can begin to set tiles on the shower wall.
It is not adviseable to build the tub itself out of tile.
Probably the easiest is to build a tub with concrete backer board and tile it.
I would never make a tub out of tile.
For a tub surround only install the backerboard and tile 12 inches above the tub.
