This is what the tenant’s small one-room apartment bathroom will look like soon. The bathroom is probably somewhat old (see pictures – the door and frame have already been painted white).
My idea is to retile the bathroom and install new fixtures. No new plumbing will be installed.
The bathroom is relatively small, I estimate around 2-3 sqm (22-32 sq ft). Just around the corner on the right is a small shower tray.
Is it possible for an amateur to tile something like this? I do have the interest and motivation, and there is always a first time for everything, plus it’s something you can learn. Also, it’s not my own apartment nor a high-end rental unit. I would need to buy the tools. My manual skills are moderate.
How do you assess this project?
Best regards
PS: I have painted tiles in the neighboring apartment. That was a tough job, and I’m not entirely satisfied with the result.

Are you a tenant?
Then the landlord needs to give permission,
otherwise you might have to restore everything to the original condition when you move out.
Maybe the landlord will agree to new tiles if you ask nicely, and then you can rent out a bathroom with new tiles 🙂I am the landlord. (30 characters)
Then of course, you are allowed to work independently without asking. Follow all the professional regulations (some people train for three years for this), and get started—have fun doing it. Note that YouTube videos do not replace professional training, but they can be helpful.

How do you all assess this situation? Tiling such a cute little bathroom is a great way to start.
To make it perfect (at least the tiles), use a leveling system, for example from Karl Dahm. That way, even as a beginner, you can easily align large-format tiles on the wall yourself.

Try it out in your own basement first…
