View Full Version : bath rework

01-21-01, 01:33 PM
I want to re-work my upstairs bath. I've been out of the trades for a number of years. The room is gutted except for the tub. I need to know the order to do the re-installs, new sheetrock, & probably the floor. I have to replace a window that is located over the tub also.
I know how to do the work, but I'm rusty as for the order to do it in.
Thanks for the help.

scotty544, I suppose you could get as many different orders to do things as you could get people to answer but here is mine:

1 Subfloors as needed
2 Install window
3 Make sure plumbing is in order
4 Hang and finish sheetrock
5 Trim window and doors
6 Paint/Paper
7 Enjoy

Hi Scott

The only thing I would add to Mikes post would be.
Now would be the time to replace the tub faucet if it has some age on it. And I would recommend a cement backer board in tub area.
