Section 1: Preparing the Tile Base for Installation

In any bathroom renovation, preparing the base for tile installation is a crucial first step. At Frank’s Handyman, we ensure that the base is leveled, prepped, and ready for a seamless tile application. Watch our detailed video where we walk you through the process of preparing the tile base using a mix of thin-set mortar and versabond.

Section 3: Applying Grout for a Polished Finish

Once the tiles were securely placed, the next step was to apply grout to seal the spaces between them. This not only reinforces the durability of the installation but also gives the bathroom a polished, cohesive appearance. In our video, we explain how to correctly apply grout and offer tips for achieving a clean, professional finish.
