Tile Work That Stays Watertight
A shower is a waterproofing job before it is a tile job. We build the substrate correctly — Schluter or RedGard, sloped pans, sealed corners — then set tile flat and level with even grout joints. That is the difference between tile that lasts twenty years and tile that leaks in two.

How It Works
From First Call To Final Walkthrough
The same four steps on every job of this type, so you always know what happens next.
Layout planning
We dry-lay the pattern and set the center line so cuts land where they look intentional, not in the middle of your focal wall.
Demo & substrate
Old material out, framing checked, cement board and waterproofing installed and flood-tested where needed.
Setting
Tile set with the right mortar and trowel size, joints spaced evenly, lippage controlled with leveling clips.
Grout & seal
Grout, sponge, cure, then caulk every change of plane and seal natural stone.

Tile Installation FAQ
Questions About This Service
Do not see your question here? Call us — we would rather answer it now than after you have booked.
Can you tile over my existing tile?
Sometimes on floors, almost never in a shower. We will tell you honestly which situation you are in rather than burying a problem.
How long before I can use the shower?
Usually 72 hours after grouting so mortar and grout cure fully.
Do you supply the tile?
You can pick it yourself and we install, or we will shop with you at local suppliers and pass through our trade pricing.
