A shower isn’t just tile and grout. Behind every clean line of porcelain or ceramic wall tile there’s a system of waterproofing, drywall, plumbing, and fixtures that has to work together. When any part is rushed or skipped, the cost later can be painful.
Poorly installed tile can:
Allow water to penetrate behind the walls and floor
Soak insulation and drywall, causing mold and structural damage
Crack grout and silicone, leaving gaps around faucets and accessories
Ruin a recent bathroom renovation that looked good but wasn’t sealed correctly
Our team understands how all these elements connect. We install shower tile with the same care we apply to a full bathroom project: planning, prep, installation, and finishing are all handled with professional standards and clear communication.
Every bathroom and every shower has its own challenges: existing plumbing, old vinyl or tile, uneven walls, or outdated fixtures. That’s why we treat every bathroom project as a custom build, not a one-size-fits-all package.
We start by visiting your home in Cornwall or the surrounding area to:
Inspect current tile, walls, and floor conditions
Check for signs of leaks, soft drywall, or past water damage
Discuss your vision for the shower, including tile, colours, style, and features
Talk about new fixtures, faucets, lighting, and accessories you may want to add
From there, we provide a transparent written quote so you fully understand the cost, materials, and timeline. No hidden extras, no vague estimates.
For full bathroom upgrades, you can explore our bathroom renovation contractor services in Cornwall
and combine your shower project with flooring, paint, countertops, and more.
A lasting shower starts with what’s behind the tile. Our installers carefully protect the work area, remove old materials, and dispose of them properly so your home stays clean and safe.
Typical prep can include:
Removing old tile, vinyl, or damaged drywall
Adjusting framing where required to ensure straight walls
Installing cement board or approved backer board
Applying modern waterproofing membranes over walls, niches, and seams
Confirming plumbing alignment for fixtures and showerheads
This step has a huge impact on how long the shower will last and how confident you can feel turning the water on every day. Skipping proper prep might save a few dollars now, but the risk to your home and your bathroom is not worth it.
Once the structure and waterproofing are complete, we move to tile work and visible finishes. This is where your style choices come to life.
We help you with:
Choosing tile size and pattern to match your bathroom and space
Selecting grout colour to complement the tile and backsplash elements
Coordinating with flooring, paint, and countertops if part of a full renovation
Planning niche shelves, benches, and other custom features
Using laser levels and professional tools, our installers:
Lay out the pattern to avoid awkward cuts on edges and around fixtures
Make clean cuts around faucets, valves, and accessories
Maintain consistent grout lines and alignment across all walls
Whether you choose simple ceramic, durable porcelain, or a more luxury tile, our focus is always on clean lines, proper bonding, and a high-end finish that looks good from every angle.
The last stage completes the waterproof system and gives the shower its final polished look. We:
Apply quality grout suitable for wet areas
Seal corners and transitions with flexible silicone
Install shower fixtures, shelves, and accessories
Confirm floors and walls are correctly sloped to drain water away
We also make sure the surrounding work area is spotless before we leave. Dust is removed, debris is taken away, and your bathroom looks like a completed project, not a construction site.
No two homeowners have the same priorities. Some want a simple, clean installation that fits a modest budget. Others want to fully renovate their bathroom with a new layout, lighting, luxury tile, and upgraded features.
We help you make the right choices based on:
How often the shower is used (guest bath vs. daily family use)
Your preferred colours, textures, and overall bathroom style
Whether this is part of a larger kitchen or bathroom renovation
Which materials provide the best value for the life of the space
Our team takes the time to understand your goals so the final result feels tailored, not generic. Whether the bathroom is small and efficient or large and spa-like, we match the materials and design to the room.
