I own a house circa ~1940. The toilet flange was fractured and the tile also cracked in that bathroom, so I removed the tile to find that the tile was laid over old tile that had been laid over concrete. The joists had been 'trimmed' to allow for the mudbox. There are two cracks that run with the joists and extend through the old tile.
I plan to re-mud to have an appropriate level surface. How can I build up an undersurface that I can use for a tile bed that I could later change to another tile without replacing the mud box?
Should I just layer: Mudbox - ReGuard - Tile
OR layer: Mudbox (low) - Backerboard - Tile
If I was to place a layer of backerboard, how would I secure it to the mudbox so that I could remove the backerboard without damaging the mudbox? Liquid Nails?
Thank you.
