Bathroom wall tiles need to be replaced only.. including shower.

Is it ok to remove only wall tiles in the bathroom and replace them with new ones? I am concerned about waterproofing especially n the shower.

Re: can u help.. bathroom wall tiles need to be replaced only.. including shower.

Welcome @PennyE to the Workshop Community and thanks for your question.

 

You are correct that there is waterproofing under the tiles within the shower recess.

If you wish to attempt replacing the tiles there, then you need to pay attention to it.

 

Here's some helpful tutorials - How To Remove Tiles ,  How To Tile A Shower Base , Bathroom Tiling Tips 

 

If you a concerned about the waterproofing, perhaps have a professional quote for re-tiling the shower recess and then you may tile the rest yourself.

 

I'm sure our helpful Community members have their own thoughts which I look forward to hearing.
