Replace Bathroom Subfloor?

If it were me, I would replace it. That will also give you a chance to look for any damage to the underlying structure and correct any possible issues.

-- No, finishing touches are what you do at the END of the project!

If since 73 that is as bad as it has gotten then I don’t see a problem with it. Unless it has soft spots or other areas of concern I would leave it be. If it holds nails and screws your good.

If you want you could put a layer of luan or 3/8” ply, but be aware of how much it could raise your new floor above your old floor adjacent to the bathroom.

I’d agree with sailor. If it’s still sound and solid, leave it be. If there is an offensive odor than seal it with Zinsser BIN shellac sealer. It will seal anything and everything but wear a respirator when applying and plan on going somewhere else ( like taking your hard working, tile chipping wife out to dinner..or is that you..??...no profile ) for awhile after the application.

Me too i would suggest to use some tiles for it.In my home at Finland country i use tile for my bathroom renovation and i also choose sliding door that i bought at http://www.mattiovi.fi and i also seen the good appearances of it in my bathroom.

FMG,

Man you must be living right, for you to be able to get the wife to do all the Demo work and even busting up the concrete…Yep, you’re doing it right.

I agree with Gary. If the sub-floor is solid and will take screws I would use it. Here is what I have done in the past. I glued and screwed 3/4” plywood to the sub-floor,which you’re wife has exposed. I use long enough screws to hit the floor joists and structural construction adhesive. I try to turn the plywood 90 degrees to the existing sub-floor. This assembly will give you an extremely solid base to work with and will bring you’re new floor up to the level you should be without the ceramic tile. (IF I Understand the old floor correctly)

I then use Versabond type 2 thin-set, Available at hd, and bond the new ceramic tile to the plywood with it. The Versabond is made for bonding to plywood/concrete and works extremely well and provides a moisture tight seal to the plywood. Then just grout.

I’m actually doing that exact thing to our 1850 Gothic revival currently. Good Luck with it.

I have several different properties and this has worked well for me. The floors have been down for about six years now and no problems.

Hi replace the bad floor stones with tiles or marbles stone.For bathroom i think tiles is better.

it would take me a day or less to rip everything down to the sub floor. If the plywood is good, I leave it alone or install new over the old providing the old isn’t moldy or damage. There is a web site that give you step by step installation tips to install tile flooring.
