Tiling a bathroom floor is not a necessary home skill to learn. It ranks along how to repair a Betamax player or how to operate an abacus. Of course, if you were a contract remodeler that would be a different matter since you would be using this skill for your livelihood. For a common homeowner with a different job and a family, however, learning how to tile a bathroom is just a waste of time and energy.
In order to learn something properly, you need time, energy, and a lot of practice. The same is required when learning how to tile a bathroom floor. Do you really have time for that now, above and beyond your work and family? The primary motivation for learning how to tile is probably to save money. If you miss a day or two’s worth of work, do you actually save money? You have a lot on your plate already, so why add something that you wouldn’t really need in the long run?
Okay, let’s say succeed in wasting your time and you actually get to learn how to tile your bathroom properly. You have an aesthetically pleasing bathroom interior because of that, congratulations on a job well done. Now what? It’s not like you’ll be laying tiles on a regular basis after that. A rough estimate would be you’d need to actually lay tiles, at the very least, twice in your lifetime. I’m talking about tile laying for your own purposes, and not in exchange for compensation.
Instead of risking a botched up bathroom floor, stick with the professionals and let them tile your bathroom. It’s much more convenient and everyone and you get your money’s worth since these people are actually skilled and experienced in the craft of laying bathroom floor tiles. There’s a world of difference between being stingy and being smart. Hiring professionals to do your bathroom tile job is being smart.
