How a bathroom tile project works
- Estimate. Call or request a quote. Our sales team reviews the space, the tile you have in mind and the scope of work.
- Tile selection. Pick tile at the Tile International showroom, or bring us your selections.
- Preparation. We check the walls and floor, set the substrate and waterproof the wet areas before any tile goes down.
- Installation. Our installers lay out the pattern, set the tile and cut around fixtures, niches and corners.
- Finish. Grout, sealing where the material needs it, cleanup and a final walkthrough with you.
Waterproofing
Shower walls are waterproofed with the Schluter system. Shower floors are built with a rubber membrane and a mortar mud bed, or with Schluter waterproofing when the shower has a linear drain. That’s the part of a shower you never see, and the part that decides whether it lasts.
Cost and timeline
- Tiled shower: about $2,500 to $20,000 or more, depending mostly on the tile or stone; about one week of work.
- Full bathroom: about $20,000 to $40,000, depending mostly on the tile or stone; about three to four weeks.
Prices include installation; material choice drives most of the range. Every job carries a one-year workmanship warranty from completion.
