Hi,
\nWe need to do some minor renovation on our 1980’s era, 5’x9′, falling apart, solo bathroom. We’re thinking of a simple IKEA sink\/cabinet and have already replaced the toilet out of necessity. The big question is the floor. It’s large white hex tile (seems like a standard size I’ve seen before) which is fine (but not my dream tile). Only 2 tiles are cracked and the grout is awful. I read a bit about regrouting and realize it is a pain, but it seems way easier than ripping up all the tile, leveling the floor, retiling, and then grouting. How easy do y’all think it would be to replace the 2 broken tiles, bleach\/scrub the existing tiles, and regrout without removing the toilet? Has anyone done this as part of a smaller reno instead of a bathroom gut reno. I can live with the icky bisque colored tub if everything else is gleaming white and shiny looking. Thanks for thoughts and advice!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
