Shower Tile Installation Services

Shower tile installed over proper waterproofing

Shower tile installations need more prep than other tile work. The substrate, waterproofing, slope, drain assembly, and corners all need to be right before any tile gets set. We plan and prep all of those before the tile work starts.

We install subway, herringbone, hexagon, large-format, mosaic, and stone tile in Ottawa showers, including walk-in showers, curbless showers, and tub surrounds.

Wall tile

Vertical tile installed plumb with consistent grout lines, niches, and clean corner detailing.

Shower floor tile

Sloped floor tile installed over a properly built shower pan with linear or point drains.

Niches and benches

Recessed niches and built-in benches tiled with planned grout lines and waterproofing.

Grout and finishing

Grout, sealant, caulking, and movement joints completed for long-term shower performance.

Waterproofed tiled and finished cleanly

What goes into shower tile installation

Substrate, waterproofing, layout, and grout planned together

A shower fails when the layers behind the tile are wrong. We confirm the substrate, install proper waterproofing, plan the layout and slope, then install the tile with attention to corners, niches, and finishing details.

01
Plan shower tile

We confirm the tile, layout, grout colour, niches, and edges. We plan the starting line and reveals before any tile goes up.

02
Waterproof and prep

Backer board, membranes, slope, and drain assembly are installed before tile begins. The substrate is flat, dry, and ready.

03
Tile, grout, seal

Tile is installed, grout is set, sealant is applied, and movement joints are placed where needed.

Shower Tile Installation Questions in Ottawa

Answers to common questions Ottawa homeowners ask about shower tile installation.

Shower tile can be installed on shower walls, shower floors, niches, benches, tub surrounds, ceilings, and any wet zone surface — provided proper waterproofing is in place.

Yes. Tile and grout are not waterproof. Behind the shower tile, a proper waterproofing system is what keeps water out of the framing and subfloor.

Yes. Large-format tile in showers needs extra substrate prep, the right thinset, careful slope on the floor, and properly placed movement joints.

Yes. Shower niches are framed during rough-in, waterproofed as part of the shower system, then tiled to align with the surrounding wall tile pattern.
