DIY Small Bathroom Remodel | Bath Renovation Project - Summary

Summary

The video is about a bathroom remodel project led by Brad Rodriguez from "Fix This, Build That." The goal is to transform a small, contractor-grade bathroom into a modern space with a custom-tiled shower surround. The process involves:

1. Removing old fixtures, including the toilet, vanity, mirror, and shower surround.
2. Replacing the flooring with large-format white tile to make the space feel larger.
3. Installing a new bathtub and plumbing connections, with a licensed plumber's assistance.
4. Building a custom wall system with a subway tile look and accent channel for a high-end feel.
5. Installing hexagonal mosaic tile in the accent channel.
6. Grouting and caulking the seams.
7. Repairing the drywall and painting the walls a light gray color.
8. Installing new shower hardware, a light fixture, toilet, vanity, and mirror.

The project resulted in a modern and upgraded bathroom with a custom look and feel.
