Outdoor Shower Tile

Outdoor shower tile for walls and floors with drainage, slip-resistant finishes and weather-rated materials, from pool showers to garden enclosures.

An outdoor shower is a joy after a swim or a day in the garden. It also lives in the weather, so the tile, the base and the drainage all need to be built for sun, rain and freezing nights. Homeowners in Nashville build outdoor showers beside pools, on patios and in garden corners, and they trust us to tile them so they stay good-looking.

We start with drainage, since water has to go somewhere that is allowed and safe. The floor is sloped to a drain, and the walls and base get a waterproofing layer, just as an indoor shower would. We choose tile and setting materials rated for outdoor use, and a textured floor finish for traction. Stone looks and pebble floors are popular. We coordinate with your plumber on the supply and drain, and we plan winterizing so pipes are protected in cold weather. Check the supply and drain plan with your plumber, and confirm where drain water is allowed to go. Choose a spot with some privacy and shade, and think about wind. Bring photos of showers you like, and we will help you translate them into a tile plan for the weather.

How it works

Our process, start to finish.

  1. 01

    Call and describe the job

    You tell us the rooms, the tile you like and your timing, and we ask about the floors, walls and any water issues.

  2. 02

    Measure and plan

    We check flatness, moisture and layout from photos or a visit and talk through materials, pattern and trim.

  3. 03

    Review the estimate

    You get a plain written scope with prep, waterproofing, materials, schedule and cure times before anything is ordered.

  4. 04

    We prepare the surfaces

    Old tile comes out, floors are repaired and leveled, backer board and membranes go in and showers are waterproofed and tested.

  5. 05

    We set the tile

    Tile is set with the right mortar, checked for flatness and alignment and cut carefully at the edges.

  6. 06

    Grout, seal and walk through

    We grout, seal and caulk, clean up and walk the finished job with you, leaving written care tips and extra tile.
