Damaged ceramic tile

We don't know what caused this loss of colour in our floor, it looks like a spill.

Until you get the pic back up, try using a bit of Bon-Ami cleanser on one tiny corner. Do not use any other type of abrasive or cleanser.

Re-use old mud bed?

P

pjaffe on Dec 29, 2019

An older small bathroom (32sq.ft.) with a movie style floor that I want to replace with 12x12 ceramic or porcelain. I tested a spot and was able to knock the old tiles 1"x2" off the mud bed leaving a fairly smooth surface. Do I need to remove the mud bed and start from scratch or can i re-use the mud bed and just put down a thin mud layer to set the new tile? Current mud bed looks to be about an inch thick where I checked it. -Peter

How To Remove Granite Border?

G

gil_happy on Jan 08, 2020

Hello, I plan to remove this granite 'border' and I'm wondering if there is any way possible to do it without cracking the surface granite? If you look at the attached picture, you can see the granite border that I'm attempting to remove. This was installed approximately 15 years ago, so I'm not sure if there is a special way to do this without cracking the surface? Once I remove the border, I plan to install a tile backsplash in place of the granite border. Thanks in advance!
