Service
A tile shower you walk into
No tub at all: tile walls to the ceiling, a low step and a niche for the shampoo.
Walk-in means you step in over a low curb instead of over the side of a tub. The floor slopes to the drain and sits on a waterproof layer, and the walls are tiled to the ceiling. You choose a glass door, a glass panel or a curtain.
What is included
Porcelain tile walls and a sloped tile base
A waterproof layer under all the tile
A niche for shampoo built into the wall
Slip-resistant floor tile
What changes the cost
Your price is for your bathroom. These are the things that move it.
The size of the shower
A bigger floor and taller walls mean more tile and more time.
The tile you choose
Large tiles go up faster than small ones. Mosaic, patterns and stone-look tile cost more to set.
Glass
A frameless glass door or panel is made to measure after the tile is up, and adds to the total.
The drain
Keeping the drain in place costs less than moving it, since the house sits on a concrete slab.

Questions about this job
How long before I can shower?
The tile and grout need time to cure. We tell you on the last day when the shower is ready to use, usually the next day.
Is a glass door worth it?
It keeps the bathroom drier and looks open. A curtain costs less and is easier to replace. We show you both.
Will the grout stain?
We seal it, and we show you how to clean it with plain soap. Light grout shows soap film more than dark grout does.
Picturing it with tile?
We bring samples to the visit, so you can hold them against your own walls.
