Floor tile, shower surrounds and tile backsplashes, set with proper waterproofing behind every wet-area wall, not just a finish applied over the old surface.
Bathroom tile installation, shower tile and tile backsplash work all fall under the same trade, and all depend on proper waterproofing behind the tile as much as the finish itself. For Lake Charles bathrooms, this covers floor tile, full shower surrounds and vanity backsplashes, whether as a standalone update or part of a larger remodel.
Bathroom tile is a waterproofing project as much as it is a finish choice.
A proper waterproofing membrane behind shower and tub surround tile is what prevents leaks and mold years later, not the tile itself.
Old tile removal sometimes reveals damaged drywall, cement board or subfloor that needs repair before new tile goes down.
Shower floor tile needs to be sloped correctly to the drain; this is set in the mortar bed before a single tile is placed.
We assess the existing tile, substrate and any water damage.
Tile size, pattern and grout color are chosen.
Old tile and any damaged substrate are removed.
A waterproofing membrane is installed in wet areas.
Tile is set, then grouted and sealed.
We check grout lines and transitions with you before calling the job done.
Ceramic costs less than porcelain, natural stone or large-format tile.
Herringbone, mosaic and accent patterns take more labor than a straight-lay pattern.
Damaged drywall, cement board or subfloor found during demo adds to the total.
Larger floor areas or full-height shower surrounds need more material and labor.
