Shower and tub tile installation in Antelope, from wall layouts to niches and finishing details. We can work through your existing room, tile choices and preparation together.

Before choosing the finish

Plan the surface. Understand what’s underneath.

Swipe to explore the planning details.

01

Niches & shower storage

Plan storage around the wall layout and the bottles you use. Niche size, shelves and the position of tile joints affect the finished look.

Compare niche options

A single niche, a tall opening and a wider shelf involve different dimensions, cuts and wall preparation. Bring the storage size you need and discuss framing, waterproofing and edge finishes together. A larger opening is not simply a larger tile cut.

02

Tile size & pattern

Straight-set tile, mosaics and herringbone create different looks—and different layout and cutting work.

How format changes the estimate

Share the tile product, size and pattern before comparing quotes. Larger wall tile may need additional surface preparation and handling. Mosaics and herringbone add layout decisions and cuts, particularly around valves, niches and corners.

03

Benches, entries & edges

Discuss a seat, the shower entry and exposed tile edges as part of the same plan.

Details to settle before quoting

Ask whether a bench needs framing or a separate unit, and what changes a curbless entry would require at the floor and drain. Compare a metal trim profile with a mitered tile corner where appropriate. Confirm finished-edge lengths, materials and the responsibilities for glass and plumbing.

Useful before an estimate

Questions before you start.

Planning your budget

What affects shower tile cost?

A shower estimate depends on the surfaces being tiled and the condition underneath. Retiling walls, replacing a shower base and rebuilding an enclosure involve different work. Compare the preparation and related trades alongside the tile installation.

  • Existing tile removal, substrate repairs and waterproofing scope
  • Wall and floor area, tile format and layout
  • Niches, benches, edges, glass and plumbing responsibilities

Your estimate checklist
  • Wall and floor areas to be tiled
  • Removal, preparation and waterproofing responsibilities
  • Niches, shelves, edges and tile layout
  • Material supply, fixtures and work by other trades

Confirm inclusions, exclusions and related trade responsibilities in writing before work starts.

Is tile installation the whole bathroom budget?

Not necessarily. Compare tile work separately from glass, fixtures, plumbing, electrical work and other changes. Ask for the inclusions and exclusions in writing.

Can photos give an exact shower price?

Photos help describe the room, but they do not show every condition behind the tile. Discuss which dimensions and site checks are needed before relying on a price.

Can we discuss just a tub surround?

Yes—start by describing the surfaces you want tiled and what you plan to keep. Include the tub, fixtures and surrounding walls so we can discuss the specific scope with you.

Should I buy tile before we talk?

Samples and product links are useful starting points. Before placing an order, discuss suitability, quantities, trim pieces and availability for your particular layout.

Does shower tile include a complete bathroom remodel?

Tile work and a full bathroom remodel involve different responsibilities. Discuss demolition, waterproofing, plumbing, electrical, glass and any permits with us, and agree each part in the written scope.

What affects the estimate?

The area, existing conditions, preparation, tile format, pattern and details such as niches all help define the work. Photos can start the conversation; we can discuss what needs to be checked in person before a quote.
