Our take on the Custom Building Products Custom VersaBond Thin-Set Mortar

Custom VersaBond is a polymer-modified thin-set mortar sold in a 50 lb bag, used to bond ceramic and porcelain tile to floors, walls and counters over common substrates. It is a dry powder mixed with water, so there is no liquid additive to buy. It is the standard mid-range choice for interior tile work and holds up against pricier modified mortars for most jobs. Reviewers rate it highly and call it easy to mix and spread, though some find the working time short once it is mixed.

What reviewers say

  • 4.6 / 52,800 ratings

Owners and installers rate VersaBond highly, praising its smooth mixing and reliable bond on interior tile jobs. The main complaints are a short pot life and occasional lumpy mixes when water is added too fast.

What people mention
  • ConsistencyPraisedReviewers say it mixes to a smooth, creamy texture that spreads and holds a notch well.
  • Working timeCriticisedSome say it starts to set quickly once mixed, so small batches work better.
  • BondPraisedOwners report tile staying put on floors and walls with no callbacks.
  • MixingMixedA few got lumps when water was poured in all at once rather than gradually.
  • Bag handlingCriticisedThe 50 lb bag is heavy and needs dry storage.

Questions and answers

Do I need to add a latex additive to VersaBond?
No. It is polymer-modified and mixes with water only. Adding a liquid additive is not required and can change the mix.
Can VersaBond be used for shower floors or wet areas?
It is a thin-set for interior tile, but for continuous wet areas many installers prefer a fully waterproof system with a membrane. Check the bag for the manufacturer's current limits.
How much area does a 50 lb bag cover?
Coverage depends on trowel size. With a 1/4 x 1/4 inch notch it covers roughly 80 to 95 square feet; larger notches cover less.
Is it suitable for large-format tile?
It can set large tile, but large and heavy formats usually call for a large-and-heavy-tile mortar and full back-buttering.
Can I use it over plywood?
Only over a suitable substrate such as cement backer board or a properly prepared, approved wood subfloor. Follow the bag's substrate list.
