Shower tile installation features a very affordable ceramic tile that looks like marble. I was very impressed with this tile selection.
The subway tile is a classic design that never is out of date.

Tony replaced our shower pan and completely redid our entire shower. He did an absolutely wonderful job. He’s very neat and professional and we couldn’t be happier with the work that he did for us. He gave us regular updates on his progress and finished in a timely manner. He even identified an issue we had with the tile on our stairs and he helped us repair that as well. We are truly happy with the work that he did and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend his services.

This shower project located in the Boulder, Colorado 80310 neighborhood began when the homeowners detected water dripping to the downstairs bathroom ceiling. Since they were considering putting their home on the market and they could not match the existing shower tile they decided to update their shower and install a new leak-proof cement poured shower pan.
The shower pan is cement poured and the waterproof liner is Schluter-Kerdi
In today's home improvement market place it is becoming harder and harder to purchase a tile that is manufactured with a finishing trim.
​
Most tiles are now imported. The tile edge needs to be finished in a way that compliments the tile installation.
In this shower example, the edges of the tile were painted with a sealer colorant. Sealant is manufactured by Custom Building Products and sold at the local Home Depot

Boulder Tile Installation by Action Shower Pan
Now that the tile has had time to dry the shower tile and grout joints are cleaned to allow for and even application of grout.
​
The tile joint that runs along the top of the shower curb will be covered when I reinstall the shower doors.
​
It is important to use the best grout for the job and I prefer to use Mapei's Ultra for all of my tile installations. It is a grout that will not shrink, this grout does not need to be sealed and is colorfast.
SHOWER INSTALLATION
Porcelain Tile
In this example of a shower tile installation project the tile that was installed was a 12"x24" porcelain tile that is set vertically with grout joint matching in a straight course.
​
The same wall tile is cut down and used to tile over the shower curb including the inside edge and back wall of the recessed niche and window. The shower pan uses a large format tile with a Schluter linear shower drain.

Water has dried off |  The walls of the shower are removed to the studs. The shower pan is removed to the sub-floor. The old shower drain is also removed and replaced by a new Schluter/Kerdi shower drain. |
