Your custom tile shower takes about one week to build. Here is what happens each day, so you know what to expect.
Before Day One: Plan and Order Materials
Before day one, we plan the shower and lock in the tile, layout, niche, bench, fixtures and drain, and order the materials.
Day One: Demo and Prep
Day one is demo and prep. We take the old shower out, open the walls, and check the subfloor and framing. We fix everything we find before any tile goes in.
Day Two: Plumbing and Waterproofing
Day two is plumbing and waterproofing. We set the drain and valve, then waterproof the shower from floor to ceiling, including the seams and corners.
Days Three and Four: Tile
Days three and four are for tile. We tile the walls first, then the floor, setting the tile straight, spacing it evenly, and cutting it cleanly around the niche, valve and drain.
Day Five: Grout and Finish
Day five is grout and finish. We grout the tile, clean it, seal it, set the fixtures, and put the glass panel in last.
Days Six and Seven: Cure, Check and Clean
Days six and seven are for curing, checking and cleaning. We walk the shower with the homeowner, test everything, and clean up.
What Can Stretch the Week
A few things can stretch the week:
Hidden water damage
Special-order tile or fixtures arriving late
Changes mid-build
