Shower Waterproofing & Tile Installation Done Right the First Time
A shower is a wet-room system, and the tile is only its finish layer. We build fully bonded waterproof showers using Schluter-KERDI membrane, prefabricated foam pans and curbs — or liquid-applied membranes where geometry calls for it. Every drain, seam, corner and penetration is detailed before the first tile is set.
Inside the system we correct slope to drain, plumb the walls and reinforce niches, benches and shampoo shelves so they are tiled, functional and leak-free. On the surface we set porcelain or ceramic with consistent joints and seal the movement transitions that grout alone can never survive.
The difference shows up years later: no moisture behind the walls, no swollen drywall on the other side, no musty smell — just a shower that still looks new and protects the structure around it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Shower Tile Questions, Straight Answers
Tile and grout are not waterproof — they never have been. The membrane behind them is what keeps water out of your wall cavity. A beautiful tile job over a bad waterproofing system fails within a few years; a correct system lasts decades.
A typical tub-to-shower conversion or full shower rebuild runs 4–6 working days: demolition and prep, waterproofing and flood test, then tile, grout and silicone. We keep the bathroom sealed and broom-clean every evening.
Yes — tub conversions are among our most requested projects. We rebuild the drain position, slope the pan correctly, waterproof the full wet area and tile it, adding glass, niches and benches to your plan.
Every bonded system is plugged and flood-tested for 24 hours before tile. If a drop moves, we find it while it is still inexpensive to fix — not after your tile is on the wall.
