One day you're going to step out of your shower and your foot is going to go through the floor. Or you're going to fill the bathtub and IT'S going through the floor. I have a feeling you let this go for too long. You might have some major structural repairs to make which would include removing the tub. Hard to say without looking at it. I would take care of it as soon as possible. Have it looked at by professionals. Get a few bids for repairs. See if your Homeowner's Insurance will cover it...

Spend the money, buy tilebacker board for there and spring for ceramic tile. This bathroom must be all crappy looking anyway. Plastic tile? That has to be 40 years old or more. Splurge on a new vanity, toilet and tub with a real valve body not a shower hose on a bracket. New casings, floor tile, medicine cabinet and lighting, too.

It looks green, so it often gets called "greenboard." Once the sheetrock is patched, prime it and paint it with paints that are meant to be used in damp areas. If you're not sure which paint to get, go to a hardware store or Home Depot/Lowes and tell them your paint requirements. They'll fix you up with a paint that's suitable for a bathroom.

Use a utility knife to cut it back to the tile, and pry it out with a hammer. Then buy moisture tolerant drywall and cover that with a barrier. You can install the shower head before the barrier and then put up the barrier. Use a screw gun and screws to put the dry wall into place. My suggestion is to replace it.

After the floor has been nicely prepared what now? Well, the next step is to start laying out those tiles of yours. If you want the end result to look professional, then careful setting out of the tiles will be required. Now here comes the part of installing the Bathroom Ceramic Tiles which isn't a very complex job. Instructions on how to lay the Bathroom Ceramic Tiles, arrange, cement and other attributes are all over the Internet or home improvement guides. At the onset, you need to find the center of the floor and lay the tiles from there as it creates a feeling of visual symmetry. When arranging the tiles, you must make sure that the Bathroom Ceramic Tiles design is laid such that it creates continuity in the design. And yes, ensure that your tiles blend with the color of the wall or the general theme of your bathroom wall and the fittings. You could also install a tile heater to give your feet the warmth as you step on it, a very good feature to have especially during winters or to avoid that sharp chill you'd encounter early in the morning. You could also use a relatively warm color shade to offset the cool look of the bathroom fixtures.

Fill it with plaster. Then paint it with waterproof paint. I think the name of it is Mold Kill or something like that. It is bathroom or basement paint to keep the mold away. It is also used on basement walls. Then there are round plates that you can buy in various sizes. Find one that is wide enough to cover it over. It should look nice. If it happens again I think you will have to replace a section of the wall though. good luck. try chipping it out and then making it as flat as possible. Fill it with plaster.

But moisture can cause brown rot which will only get worse if you don't take care of it. Brown rot is a serious problem if it goes too long without being addressed.

It is rather fragile. Since the dog chewed it, I assume this is very near the bottom front of the vanity. With this in mind, I would say any repair that doesn't completely replace the portion damaged will in time be damaged again. The lower portions of vanities and the corners are subject to being hit by your feet, mops, brooms and maybe the vacuum cleaner. This will leave your short cut repair open to being abused and finally failing. Particle board doesn’t lend itself to repair very well. It is rather fragile.

Depending on the size of the missing piece, I would sand or shave the damaged area to get a clean edge then get some scrap particle board of the same thickness, shape it to match the missing piece then glue it on. once it is dried sand the area where you glued it, to provide a smooth finish. Then paint or finish as needed.

It is the only permanent fix that any of us have found for roofing patches. It is easy to apply and very long lasting. It can be applied by brush or trowel. I have an addition that has always leaked until I found this product. I believe that what is happening is that your roof vent has a gap in it that is allowing water to get passed the roof line. once it goes around the roof line it will run down the vent tube and then right to the fan. If the roofing guy only put caulking around it (he shouldn't have) the caulking is not strong enough to hold the roofing together. It would quickly crack and be leaking again. You can find this product at Ace Hardware stores. Have him use it and reseal the vent. It will hold this time. Hope this helps. http://www.sashcosealants.com/home_improvement/pdffiles/throughtheroof_brochure.pdf This is a product that is a personal favorite of mine, and is sworn by all of the roofing contractors that I work with.

I'm going to assume your walls are just taped and the fasteners aren't struck with "Drywall Joint Compound". That being the case you want someone who finishes professionally to come in and complete this as 1 out of 1000 people can do this to where the walls won't look like hell. Believe me, drywall finishing is a trade that you know and are good at. . . or you aren't. And I'm going to suggest that you have a pro do this for you for what should be no more that $350 at best, materials & labor.

Since it is already taped you could probably get by with buying one bucket of the light mud. Don't get the powder it drys quickly on you. Then prime and paint :) If you can see the tape then you need to add a few layers of mud using progressively larger knifes.

For best coverage, I would apply spackle with a patterned tool, then use some of that pre-patterned paint. That way you would be sure nothing shows from underneath.
