Shower Tile Installation, New Britain & Across Connecticut

Waterproofing keeps water out of the walls; the tile installation is what you see and use every day. A great shower needs both. We do them together so the finish sits on a system built for tile, with flat walls and clean, sealed joints.

A tub-to-shower conversion or full shower rebuild is typically 4 to 6 working days from demo to final silicone, including waterproofing cure and flood-test time. We keep the bathroom sealed and broom-clean every evening.

Yes. If your tub and plumbing stay, we can retile the surround and floor without tearing everything out. We replace only what needs replacing and lay out the new tile to match your space.

We build and tile niches, benches, shampoo shelves and curbs as part of the job, waterproofed and sloped so water runs to the drain instead of pooling in the corners.

We build the pan, then go over it with a bonded waterproofing membrane such as a Schluter-KERDI style sheet or a liquid-applied one where the geometry calls for it. The membrane runs over the pan, up the walls, around the curb, and over every seam, corner and valve penetration, and we hold a twenty-four-hour flood test before any tile goes down. If a drop moves, we find it while it is still inexpensive to fix.

Only sometimes, and only when the old tile passes the checks: solidly bonded everywhere when you tap it, flat, and structurally sound, with enough give at the outlets, counters and doors to absorb the added thickness. When it fails any of those, tiling over it locks the problem in. On a wet area we almost always take it down to the substrate instead.
