Who here is handy?

I want to install heated flooring in my bathroom. It's a large bathroom approx. 400sq ft. There's ceramic tile(I think) in there now. How big of a nightmare would this be??

you will have to tear out the old flooring...lay down the heated mats, re install new tile...stfu

unless you have access to the subfloor through like a basement..then you could pry do hot water heat through the joists

I can fix anything as long as there is a phone handy.

oh and heated flooring in the bathroom is a must. Call someone to do it or you will have a fire.

are you thinking of doing it yourself?

yea, like plank said, you have to tear it all out, check the sub flooring, make sure its all ok and not rotting out, then line the floor, run the tubes, have access for the connection for the tubes, then lay all new tile. in my house the tile was a bitch because it takes a long time to get to temp. so make sure you do a little research on the thickness of the tile and heat transmittance. once its all said and done it not bad at all, just a pain in the ass. good for bathrooms and kitchens. be prepared for your bills to climb a little too.
