Tile Backer-Board Over Old Sub-Floor The sub-floor in my 1905 house consists of 1x6 at 45 degree angles across the floor. It's not tongue and grove and there are healthy gaps of from 1/8 to 3/8 inches, so every board is individual.
In bathrooms, it's a good idea to apply an isolation membrane over your wood subfloor. These membranes are thin rubber-like materials that will protect the tile from the expansion and contraction of the wood subfloor caused by high moisture, temperature and humidity changes.
Cut the damaged area of the floor out with a circular saw. Set the height of the blade so that it cuts only through the plywood underlayment.
As a general rule, replacing a bathtub is NOT considered a do-it-yourself project - especially if your changing the type and size of the tub. Changing anything means refiguring the drainlines, vents and waterlines and that can get a bit tricky and frustrating.

Advertise on this site Installing Tile Over A Wood Subfloor Concrete and Masonry, Flooring, Kitchens and Baths, Interior Published 10/19/2006 by Danny Lipford Installing tile over a wood subfloor is a lot easier today than it was when I started my remodeling career. The old-fashioned mud method — floating a thick mortar bed in preparation for the tile — has given way to using cement backerboard. The cement board is inexpensive ($10 or less for a 1/2-in. -thick, 3×5-ft. sheet), easy to cut and install and sufficient for most installations. Among the trade names you’ll see are Durock, made by U. S. Gypsum Corp. , and PermaBase, from National Gypsum Co. Manufacturers provide clear installation instructions with their products, but there are a few other important points you need to know to guarantee a long-lasting installation. For example, I always like to remove the old flooring material so I can check the subfloor for any water damage. Years of water seeping along the edge of a bathtub or shower can cause areas of rot that need to be repaired. If everything is in good shape, my carpenters drive corrosion-resistant screws through the plywood and into joists below to ensure a firm foundation for the tile.
