White marble-look shower with tiled bench

About this job

Two photos of a shower with a tiled bench. The walls are large white-and-gray veined tile, and the floor is a small square mosaic. Large tile on the walls with small mosaic underfoot is a common split in showers, and this one follows it.

Our notes don’t describe the tile on the bench itself, so the photos are the reference for it. Tile sizes weren’t written down, and the town is recorded only as Chicago area.

1. 01

   Measured and planned

   We check the room’s dimensions and mark layout lines before any tile is set.

2. 02

   Prepared and waterproofed

   Prep depends on the substrate, with waterproofing where the area gets wet.

3. 03

   Set

   Tile goes down to the layout lines, with joints and cuts kept even.

4. 04

   Grouted and sealed

   Grout and any sealer are chosen to suit the tile and how it will be cleaned.

5. 05

   Walked through with the owner

   We go over the finished surface with the owner.
