Custom Tile Showers

Custom tile showers built from the floor up with a sealed waterproof membrane, a sloped pan, precise tile layouts, niches, benches and glass for a one-of-a-kind look.

A custom tile shower is a showpiece and the most demanding part of a bathroom. The tile you see is only the surface. Underneath are a sloped base, a waterproof membrane, backer boards and careful details at every corner. Homeowners in Nashville who invest in a tile shower want it to look great and last.

We plan the tile pattern and layout before work starts, so cuts land in good places and lines look straight. We build a sloped mortar bed or use a foam pan, waterproof walls and floor with a sealed membrane, set tile with the right thinset and grout and finish with silicone at changes of plane. Niches, benches and a glass enclosure are built into the plan, and we explain care and sealing when we are done. A tile shower rewards patience. We let each layer dry and cure as the products require, check slopes with a level, test the pan with water and look over the membrane before tile goes on. These steps add a few days, and they are the reason a shower can stay beautiful for many years of daily use.

Layout first

We plan the tile pattern, the niche height and the cut lines so the finished shower looks balanced.

Waterproof first

A sealed membrane over backer board and a sloped pan protect the structure from water behind the tile.

Set with care

The right thinset, flat substrate, even joints and proper grout create a surface that lasts.

Details that matter

Corners, niches and the bench edge are sealed and finished so water cannot sneak behind them.

Questions

Custom Tile Showers FAQ

How long does a custom tile shower take?

Often one to two weeks including waterproofing and curing, depending on size and design.

Which tile is best for a shower?

Porcelain is popular because it absorbs little water. We compare options with you.

How do I clean grout?

Gentle cleaners and periodic sealing help, and we explain what to use and avoid.

Can I use large tiles?

Yes, with a flat substrate. Large tiles mean fewer grout lines and easier cleaning.

Can you make the floor non-slip?

Smaller tiles or textured porcelain give more grip on the shower floor.
