I grabbed a copy of this book from my library along with several other titles. This one by far stands out in comparison to the others. It has very practical, no-nonsense advice on almost all aspects of bathroom remodeling. For example, it gives you pictures and detailed instructions about different ways to tile in a window frame. It also touches on subjects you will likely need to know, such as replacing drywall. The section on creating a mortared shower floor was especially useful, as other bathroom books automatically assume I will be installing either a tub or a shower pan. I plan on getting other books from Stanley to see if the quality is matched throughout the series.

With clear instructions and many, many full-color pictures, I feel confident that I can tackle my bathroom on my own even with my limited experience.

I have to say of all the DIY books out there, the Stanley line is at the top of my list. I have been studying how-to-update a few items in my house, and am pretty new to the process, so after purchasing quite a few other "useless" literature for more money, Stanley has done a pretty good job in meeting my expectations. There are a lot of illustrations in color and the step-by-step instructions are outlined adequately. Please keep in mind it may not cover every single job in "Baths" that you may be interested in, but helps minimize the "fear factor" for those of us that have no idea what we're doing (yet). I am honestly pleased with this purchase... unfortunately, I haven't started DIYing yet.

Great simple breakdown of every step needed for a complete bathroom remodel. Highly recommended for someone planning a bathroom remodel.

This was my third bathroom remodeling book purchase and I wish I had purchased just this one! It's the best one I've seen yet, and I'm confident that I can work on my bathroom, with this book in hand. Great diagrams, helpful tips, tool lists, and even a section for "What could go wrong". A great deal for such excellent information. If you get this one, you won't need any other remodeling books!

great for handy do-it-your self person. Lots of great pictures and step by step for all you need to do to renovate a bath

Bought this book as a refresher for remodeling a kitchen and as a book for my wife to use since she has never remodeled a bathroom before. Very helpful and has some nice tips that were actually helpful.

I buy handy man books to learn about repair and remodeling. This book helped me to learn about those needs.

Most bathroom books cover plumbing basics and tiling and generally not a lot more. This book had lots of great information on tools, demolition, framing, subfloors, plumbing, drywalls and fixtures. It was head and shoulders above several other books that I bought. Every book covers plumbing basics and tiling, but this one covered it all.
