I ignored DIY advice & gave my bathroom a glow up slapping on filler with my hands & scissors

A DIY fan has shared the unique way she decided to give her small bathroom a makeover.

Despite advice, the DIY fan confessed she decided to retile her bathroom without pulling up the old tiles.

After moving into her new home Brooke and her partner Red decided they wanted to renovate their bathroom but on a budget.

Even though their new bathroom already had tiles Brooke decided she wanted to tile over them, which she hared on TikTok.

Opting for light blue penny tiles, Brooke grouted over her old tiles and laid her new tiles on top.

Brooke claimed: "Bob Villa says there is nothing wrong with tiling over tile."

The DIY fan used nothing but her hands, scissors and a grouting tool to lay her tiles.

Brooke said: "I did the whole bathroom with scissors!"

Once dried she went over the tiling with white filler to match her bathroom aesthetic.

She argued: "Why make things hard unless there is a good reason?"

The DIY fan admitted the transitioning on her bathroom floor wasn't the best.

In another video she said: "So that transition is definitely the least perfect part of this. I bought a strip that would go right over this but I decided not to install it because it would be higher than the tile."

Brooke said all in all she was still very happy with her bathroom makeover.

She said: "I actually did a really good job, I think around the tub and the shower areas."

Brooke's transformation gained over 960,000 views but not everyone was a fan.

One user claimed: "The lye in the grout will eat your hands. you should wear gloves to smear it around."

Another said: "This is like those people who buy houses and find seven layers of carpet when they pull it up."

A third viewer argued: "And… don't be surprised when it starts to crack out. Cheap ends up being expensive."

Despite the negative comments the DIY fan received many positive reviews from her followers.
