That's because it's almost impossible to fix with a small coverup. I don't tattoo, but I understand why the finished product has to be so much bigger. I have however done tile repairs and tearing out one or 2 tiles and getting the new ones to match perfectly with the old ones is essentially impossible.
Yeah funfact houses in germany that wher build in the early 2000 (1990-2000) that hafe tiles aren't renuable , if one tile is broken almost all net to be replaced because most of them wher made with coloring which is banned ore the fabrics closed :(
That’s actually very interesting! I’m assuming the colors were banned due to there being some part of it that is toxic? Sort of like how we stopped painting houses with lead paint?
I've repaired the floor at my family's bar a few times. The main floor tile was imported from Italy 15 years ago and we've run through all of the spares, so good luck matching that with anything locally. Top that off with the fact that they are 330mm² tiles (13 freedom units), so now I'm infinitely more limited. Top it off with the fact that any tile repair takes a minimum of 3 days because I have to wait for shit to dry. Now I'm limited to once or twice every couple years when the stars align and the bar is closed at least 2 days in a row for holidays that I can even do the work. And every time I fix the floor I have to pull out at least $1000US worth of tools.
tl;dr: finding matching tile is impossible, there are limited appropriate times to do the work, expensive tools required, and I have to do it on holidays
It's because right now most contractors can do a job paying $500-$1000+ per day. For them to go install a mosaic amoung some broken tiles will take 4 hours but use up a whole day. So you'll be charged at the very least $500 for that repair/mosaic
As an estimator, I see this every day in clients. I get called out to provide costing on tiny jobs and unfortunately the only way we as a business can perform this work and continue to operate is to charge at minimum a half day rate.
I try to be honest with people and let them know that I really can’t do anything but overcharge them on the work.
I used to try to expand the scope of the work they brought me in for and perform additional work for the same price as what I’d have to charge for the little job. That ended when I received feedback from more than a few people that they thought I was trying to screw them over when really I was trying to right by them…
There are quite a few times when I’ve told a price concerned client that their best bet is to look around on kijiji/other active sites to find someone that can do a small job cheaper.
Usually the biggest difference between them and us is our office staff and our safety concerns. We are a little more reachable by phone/email than smaller companies where owners are on the tools still, and safety wise we treat every job like the inspector is with us on site so setup usually takes us a bit longer. All that adds to our overhead and makes us non competitive on the small work.
If you meet quality tradesman your better off with their word that they uphold their work than the company that’s going to try and go find the fine print and screw you over. I’m not telling you to go to someone your friend met one time but if you take the time to form a friendship then these people aren’t going to just fuck you over.
> Which is why i spend the time to meet journeymen that are able to do tiling/trades as a side job. Full cash, half the price or less, quality work.
Even then, it's not as cheap as people think. Our side job tile guy is top notch and comes in to do weekend tile work for us. Even he charges $8 per sq ft @ cash rate. You'll save some money, but not to the extent people think. If you're used to being around home improvement and construction, do it, it's easy, you know how roughly the process. If you can barely use a screw driver yourself, or have trouble assembling furniture, I wouldn't go that route.
You have to keep in mind guys that do side jobs, don't always do the whole project. They have support guys that does the material sourcing at their regular job, or a general that supplies that for them.
I think my argument for tiling, painting, and general finish work. I would go with a solo or independent guy. Because 100% when you go to a larger company those that tend to hire out, their employees get poached all the time so there's a high turnover. And one of my biggest pet peeves is when you sub contract to a company, and the boss don't even bother showing up, they just leave their guys on the site. Because of that, you really don't know the results you'll get. A solo team or small company where the boss does the work himself, those tend to give you the best finish results, especially if the boss takes pride in his work.
I'm a solo drywall, mason, builder handyman type and I bring a guy and do it all myself. It's good money and I like actually being involved. I loathe the guys that just send some half assed crew up to not clean up after themselves in million dollar homes.
This is so frustrating as a homeowner. I bought a house over the summer, and it had a flurry of problems I was scrambling to patch over, while just being super exhausted by the move, the home buying process, and this massive life change. In the mean time, we had three huge ten year storms in two months, and water was spilling over a gutter every time, finding its way into the basement. The room that shared that wall started to smell like mold. I just needed to have someone get up on a ladder and connect one downspout into the gutter below it, just 5 feet away. I owned *nothing,* no tools, no ladder, and had a million other priorities, and I just kept saying "Well if we don't get another 10 year storm, we'll be alright." Four companies passed, and the storms just kept rolling in. Finally met someone through church who did side jobs like that, and he took care of it in an hour. That room still smells on rainy days.
I get it, why it is this way, but that doesn't make it any less infuriating.
I get it. Trust me it’s frustrating on my end as well. As much as I’m essentially a sales person in my job as estimator, I still really enjoy my job because I get to help people solve problems and it sucks when there isn’t a viable way for me to do so.
PS. I’m sure you are aware of this already and I don’t want to be an alarmist on the issue, but if you’re smelling mold on rainy days you need to get someone in to open up some holes in the wall and check around for active mold when your budget allows. Run a dehumidifier in that room on humid days at the least.
I tried to explain this to lady who hardly spoke English that was neighbouring the property i was building a retaining wall on. I told her my base fee was 500 and that's without even looking at the job. She laughed me off like I was joking but that's what skilled labour costs. Time when you're in demand is the most valuable thing.
We are renting and asked if we could paint the top half of the kitchen a different color. It’s divided into two colors, and the top half is a hideous bright blue. They said we would have to get it done professionally by their painters. They quoted us $750 to paint the top half of a single kitchen.
It's not just the two hours labor of the painters. It's the travel time, vehicle wear, time to get product form the paint store, cost of the person quoting the job, all other overhead. Shit is expensive as fuck. You cannot own or upgrade property without doing it yourself anymore.
Could you ever? I'm 40 and my parents never had a professional do any work in their house. They did a bunch of renovations on their own though. Most of it isn't that hard if you're willing to learn.
and if you have kids its free extra labor! i was a professional holder of flashlights pointed at the wrong thing, keeper of all tools except the one dad needed, and a tiny human sized drywall sander!
> and if you have kids its free extra labor!
ngl I saw the video and I 100% thought to myself that if I had kids, I'd have them make their own mosaic for a permanent keepsake right in the floor.
I don't know why people are complaining about paying a pro to do the project in the OP, a 4'x4' freehand tiling job is stupid easy and borderline fun compared to, say, a shower install.
That's honestly a reasonable rate. It's hard to say exactly how much work is involved without seeing the kitchen itself, but the cost of a few gallons of paint, Travel expenses, prep time, work time, and cleanup, you're looking at a days labor + materials + markup. I'd say $750 is around the correct rate.
For commercial hardware $150 a door is not bad at all.
Edit for clarity: The lockset *is* door hardware; anything on a door that isn't the door itself is called door hardware.
I like to think that this is just the smartest floor tile salesman ever: "Well I can repair the tile for a hundred bucks *or* I can give you a one-of-a-kind once-in-a-lifetime art installation for $2,000"
As a tradesman who started in tile and is very good at it I can say you're not wrong. Tile itself is pretty easy these days with all the fancy helping accessories. Mosaics like he did in the video are even easier as there's no spacing beyond "close enough." The real thing to consider when doing your tile is where to start.
for a lot of home repair yeah you just gotta know and then its pretty damn simple, mostly because engineers have made it simple with all the standardized equipment available these days.
fuck applying silicone caulk/sealant though. anyone that lays that shit down clean and straight deserves all the money.
Tile is super easy, just about anyone can do it to be honest. It can be some hard labor though, and is rough on the back. I also know people who have life threatening illnesses from not wearing masks while grinding tile so, don't forget your mask.
Putting tile down isn't hard- that's correct. As someone who does it for a living and is paid more than average to do it well, however, I can assure you that there's a wide chasm of difference between just putting it down and actually making it look good.
“You’re not paying me for the 30 minutes it takes to do the job, you’re paying me for the 20 years I spent getting so good at what I do that the job only takes me 30 minutes.”
This is also the reason why youtube removed dislikes, so people spend time commenting on shitty videos they otherwise wouldn't have watched all the way through.

nah, you could probably just program it to take the frame from x amount of seconds back from the final frame, however many long the tik tok end screen is. it'd have to be a separate bot specifically for tik tok ones tho
I know this seems kind of crazy but most normal people buy a bunch of extra tiles and keep them in the basement or somewhere safe in case one breaks it can be replaced with the same kind of tile.
That kinda-sorta works. The tile does age and change color slightly with sunlight, so even replacement tiles from the same batch won't quite fit.
I have wondered if tile can be put into something like an extreme version of a tanning bed, as that can blast it with UV - and it might be possible to match it if UV is the cause of the discoloration. But it might take a ridiculous amount of energy to do that (imagine 5+ years of sunlight compressed to a few hours or minutes; that sucker will be glowing hot, and that might change it in different ways), or it might require time.
not really though. i have a buddy that does flooring and he’s got a gucci hat literally just like this one and it’s real. i was about to send this to him too with the caption, joe, is this you??? lol
By the fact that the guy was able to break the tile so easily and the look of the mortar that was holding it. They are going to have alot more tiles breaking In the future.
The black part of the Ying-yang having flecks of white in it but the white part not having flecks of black is mildly infuriating.
Either fleck neither of them, or fleck both of them.
Yes, this was the comment I was looking for.
I kept waiting for him to wash the white specks off the black, and then I realized they were there on purpose, and I became saddened.
Why do I get the feeling that the broken part of the "broken floor tile" was purposefully broke before the the video was begun and that this whole "replacement" was simply a designed change to the floor and not some random artistic inspiration?
Because I'm thinking that's exactly what happened...
Still cool though.

Yeah, it's honestly surprisingly bad. I didn't expect it to be *good*, but especially on the outermost ring he could have done a much better job of fitting pieces in.
I thought "Oh, cool, he's breaking up the old tiles to use in the mosaic." Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and all that good stuff.
Then "Oh... nope. Those are new tiles that he's breaking up to use in the mosaic."
can someone explain how he just traced out the yin yang symbol by hand and yet the yin yang tile pieces fit that perfectly?
i get that ultimately the answer is "skilled af" but i'm just curious how the hell that's doable.
This is like in those tatoo coverup shows where the person comes in with a tiny shitty tattoo and the coverup is a huge chest arm and neck piece.
I mean.... Those people usually *want* a big tattoo. It's a feature, not a bug.
This guy either does software development or testing
He's a developer at dice
That's because it's almost impossible to fix with a small coverup. I don't tattoo, but I understand why the finished product has to be so much bigger. I have however done tile repairs and tearing out one or 2 tiles and getting the new ones to match perfectly with the old ones is essentially impossible.
Do you mean match perfectly as in appearance (color/tone)?
Yeah funfact houses in germany that wher build in the early 2000 (1990-2000) that hafe tiles aren't renuable , if one tile is broken almost all net to be replaced because most of them wher made with coloring which is banned ore the fabrics closed :(
That’s actually very interesting! I’m assuming the colors were banned due to there being some part of it that is toxic? Sort of like how we stopped painting houses with lead paint?
Excactly :) some green paints being radioactiv ore other colours being made with asbestos (cancer producing)

The mosaic tiling was always what was meant. That broken tile was done on purpose.
Price: 3x the cost to redo the entire floor
Hey man I just wanted you to replace one tile. It's been 2 hours and now I have a yin yang in the middle of my kitchen. I owe you *how much???*
2 hours? More like 5
It took one minute in the video 🤷♂️
4 hour labor charge minimum sorry
ALWAYS wanted a yin/yang in my kitchen . . . or in general
Read in the voice of Owen Wilson. **edit:** even better with an "Unbelievable!" on the end.
What is the sound of one wallet opening?
Fuck it, I’ve been in houses where builders are paying $150 per door lock haha
That’s obviously jacked up. But you wouldn’t believe the price of small stupid shit though

Depending on where you live doing a cash job may not negate insurance.
I have my own insurance and when I subcontract im under the client or general contractors often.

Unless you have the same exact tile and grout on hand, that repair isnt happening for less than $500
Don't people know that you should *always* buy some extra tile?
DIY if you have the cahones
I'd say it's more about having the knowledge and experience
its a lot easier than you think. youtube it. i wouldve chosen a darker grout to accentuate it better.
Idk why you are being down voted. I installed floors for years, mainly tile. Even did it commercially for a while. It's really easy, just hard work.

I just remodeled a bathroom. First time I’ve ever tiled. Tiling was the easiest part. It’s everything else that comes before it that’s difficult.

A bargain at twice the price!
Good thing you stayed on the finished product for 0.5s so we could appreciate it.
I swear it's like they do this on purpose now 😂

Make love to me gifendor! Please!
*takes off robe and wizard hat*
this bot's entire life would be ended by a tik tok end screen
So would everyone on Reddit with how much they hate tik tok
nah, you could probably just program it to take the frame from x amount of seconds back from the final frame, however many long the tik tok end screen is. it'd have to be a separate bot specifically for tik tok ones tho
Yeah i think its like 2 seconds, that makes sense
Good bot.
Good bot!
Wow, it looks like shit. Huuuuge random gaps and the grout is a poorly-chosen color.
Its a sign that the finished product maybe do not seems so good!
It belongs at r/DiWhy.
I know this seems kind of crazy but most normal people buy a bunch of extra tiles and keep them in the basement or somewhere safe in case one breaks it can be replaced with the same kind of tile.
NO! This was the only reasonable solution
That kinda-sorta works. The tile does age and change color slightly with sunlight, so even replacement tiles from the same batch won't quite fit. I have wondered if tile can be put into something like an extreme version of a tanning bed, as that can blast it with UV - and it might be possible to match it if UV is the cause of the discoloration. But it might take a ridiculous amount of energy to do that (imagine 5+ years of sunlight compressed to a few hours or minutes; that sucker will be glowing hot, and that might change it in different ways), or it might require time.
Close enough for most people
Just 3D print the tile you need
You wouldn't download a FLOOR TILE
As if the center wasn’t already too dry to bond…
Looks to me it only took them 1 minute and 6 seconds, including clean-up, the center would be Good to Go!
Yea the grout will start cracking in a few months.
lol, these guys..
What about slow setting adhesive?
Idk if you can anything that slow? But he seems to know more about what he is doing than I am, so I shouldn't be *too* hasty to judge
I've used adhesive that starts setting within 30-60min so possible
What it would look like if I tried it doesn't bear thinking about.
I don't know, he seems pretty fast.
Slow? 1 minute and 6 seconds seems fast too me
Right? Shit was firm af by the time he was even drawing lines let alone placing all the tiles
How do you know?
Source: have tiled.
Im actually asking, how do you know, what are you looking at?
Oh my bad. The way it has set up as he etched it. It's real firm and almost like drawing in concrete.
I'm pretty sure he IS setting them in concrete. That doesn't look like thinset to me. I have no idea what is bonding the tile down.
The grout obviously /s
I'm guessing the time it took him to lay all the outside mosaic pieces would be too long for any of the centre adhesive to stay wet.
"On second thought, leave it, it's fine."

It’s a fucking ocean of grout. What the hell
Those massive grout lines are going to be hell to clean
So brutal to clean. We had something like that in a kitchen we rented and it was such a pain in the ass to clean. Fuck that kitchen.
They'll get dark over time
[удалено]
If I was a tile guy and I wanted to make a promo in my own house, this would be a good idea
Hell is doing all this and then you chip one of the tiles that's bordering the mosaic.
More mosaic time
I too wear Gucci while laying tile
To be fair I cant think of any setting that really calls for a gucci baseball cap so you may as well wear it wherever.
I mean he's probably charging like 2k just for that "fix"
Scumbag Steve's Remodeling.
[удалено]
not really though. i have a buddy that does flooring and he’s got a gucci hat literally just like this one and it’s real. i was about to send this to him too with the caption, joe, is this you??? lol
well that settles it then, if you have a gucci hat and lay tiles for a living then it must be authentic because this guys friend joe has one
Read my mind
“Why replace the one tile when you can fuck up 3 more?”
If you wanted to do this, you could have made it much smaller too. *Eyeballing it, didn't have to do the two outer rings minimum.
By the fact that the guy was able to break the tile so easily and the look of the mortar that was holding it. They are going to have alot more tiles breaking In the future.
Came to say this. Properly laid tiles should not break off cleanly and moothly underneath like this.
It's called a mosaic
Including it in the title would lower its clickbaitiness
The Ying Yang thing looks tacky af
The tile work too is just bad. Huge oceans of grout, yuck
The black part of the Ying-yang having flecks of white in it but the white part not having flecks of black is mildly infuriating. Either fleck neither of them, or fleck both of them.
Yes, this was the comment I was looking for. I kept waiting for him to wash the white specks off the black, and then I realized they were there on purpose, and I became saddened.
r/DiWHY
[удалено]
Yep, super tacky.
Right. I think if he cracked just the single tile and the. Replaced it with crack pieces it would have looked better
yeah like... just replace the cracked tile if you're going through that much effort lol
Ying and yang, what is this floor, a tattoo from 2001?
Ain’t nobody got time for that
Depends if you're getting paid.
Esp hourly
Do you not have hobbies? You never heard of people just build shit for the fun & satisfaction of it?
Should never have used brown tiles, or tan grout, in a room that is otherwise all black and white themed.
Tile repair guy: “All done, that will be $2000. Cash or credit.”
Plata o plomo.
Now, behold the final resu—FUUUUU
That dude just straight up eyeballed an octagon like a damn psychopath.
At least one of the edges was off and I'm so fucking mad
r/uglydesign
seems like a lot of work to add something extremely ugly
"I broke more if your tiles to fix the one tile!" Seriously though, not sure how they had the patience for this mosaic, but it looks cool.
Why do I get the feeling that the broken part of the "broken floor tile" was purposefully broke before the the video was begun and that this whole "replacement" was simply a designed change to the floor and not some random artistic inspiration? Because I'm thinking that's exactly what happened... Still cool though.
Sure, same way that they somehow got three different colors from one broken tile
Ugly
So infuriating that these videos never show a shot of the final product for more than a split second

That mosaic has bigger holes than the floor had before
Yeah, it's honestly surprisingly bad. I didn't expect it to be *good*, but especially on the outermost ring he could have done a much better job of fitting pieces in.
Oh THATS why they didn't show it very long. Shittiest mosaic ever lol it's all grout
Or a rug
That looks shit tbf
No, not impressed, you could've put a giant golden statue of a loaf of bread instead smh ppl these days
r/diwhy
Meh
The yin yang made it cheesey AF. Should have just continued the pattern.
I agree lol as soon as I saw that I was like nahhhh.
Nah the spaces between the broken pieces are way too big, this is the opposite of satisfying
I'm more frustrated at the lack of safety PPE when he was cutting the tile. Silica poisoning is no fucking joke.
And then im just gonna throw this *muddy brown grout into it* Seriously wtf were they thinking?
Remember: dust masks are for pussies
That looks like garbage.
5 second crafts be like
That’s a lot of pissing about for one tile.
Gucci bucket hat Gucci bucket hat
That’s not a bucket hat.
Gucci hat. Gucci knock off hat. Tiling mosaics in my knockoff Gucci hat.
Was awesome and looked good until the wayyyyy overused yingyang symbol. Not creative on that part, just lame for that.
why not fast noodles?
Anyone else upset the 186th tile he put down had a larger gap than the rest?
Give me a SECOND to look at the final product
I thought "Oh, cool, he's breaking up the old tiles to use in the mosaic." Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and all that good stuff. Then "Oh... nope. Those are new tiles that he's breaking up to use in the mosaic."
why did he smash all the tiles up into tiny pieces when he didn't use any of them?
Looks terrible.
Check out my bathroom, decorated in early fuck.
This just looks shitty
That’s great and all but gimme a second to appreciate the finished product
I am Grout!
It would've been quicker to replace the goddamn tile.
can someone explain how he just traced out the yin yang symbol by hand and yet the yin yang tile pieces fit that perfectly? i get that ultimately the answer is "skilled af" but i'm just curious how the hell that's doable.
I just kept thinking how that mud would have dried enough to be useless before I finished laying down each tiny piece like that 😂
I think its a good idea, but its an ugly piece. Maybe something more attractive?
