Shower tile installation with careful slope, waterproofing and layout so walls, floor, corners and niches stay tight and look sharp for years of daily use.
Of everything we tile, a shower asks the most of the work behind the tile. Water is present every day, the floor must slope to the drain and every corner is a place where cracks or leaks can start. A well-built shower begins with the pan, the membrane and the walls, and only then the pretty part. Homeowners around Nashville count on us to build all of it in the right order and then finish it with tile that looks as good as the photos they saved.
We walk through the shower with you: the size, the drain location, the niche, the bench and the glass. Then we explain how we will waterproof it, how we will slope the floor and how the tile layout will meet the corners. Pattern, tile size and grout color are decided before tile is cut, so the niche and the last row fall where they look best. After grout and sealing, we recommend a flood test and a cure period before the shower is used, and we explain simple care that protects the grout. Think about how you shower: one person or two, a bench or no bench, a single shower head or a rain head plus a handheld. Those choices decide the size of the pan, the niche positions and the amount of tile. Bring photos of showers you like and we will explain what it takes to build them.

You tell us the rooms, the tile you like and your timing, and we ask about the floors, walls and any water issues.
We check flatness, moisture and layout from photos or a visit and talk through materials, pattern and trim.
You get a plain written scope with prep, waterproofing, materials, schedule and cure times before anything is ordered.
Old tile comes out, floors are repaired and leveled, backer board and membranes go in and showers are waterproofed and tested.
Tile is set with the right mortar, checked for flatness and alignment and cut carefully at the edges.
We grout, seal and caulk, clean up and walk the finished job with you, leaving written care tips and extra tile.
We use a waterproofing membrane system over the pan and walls, chosen to suit your shower and the tile.
Water must move to the drain. A flat shower holds water and wears grout faster.
Smaller tiles and mosaics follow slopes more easily. We help you pick a tile that suits the pan.
After grouting and cure times, usually a few days. We confirm the exact timing for your materials.
Poor waterproofing, bad slope and failed sealant at corners are common causes.
