Waterproofing Is the Foundation of a Good Shower
A shower takes on more sustained water exposure than any other surface in your home, so the waterproofing behind the tile matters as much as the tile itself. Rock Solid Tile has built custom showers across Southwest Florida for more than 30 years, and every job starts with a proper waterproofing membrane and correctly sloped pre-pitch to the drain — not just a coat of sealant over cement board. We've torn out and rebuilt countless bathrooms that other contractors got wrong, and in three decades we've never had a single one of our own showers leak.
From a simple tub-to-shower conversion to a fully custom curbless shower with a linear drain, niche, and bench, our crew handles framing, waterproofing, layout, setting, and grouting in-house, with a clear written scope before we start.
Our Shower Tile Installation Process
- Free in-home estimate — we measure, discuss layout options (curb vs. curbless, niche placement), and provide a firm, written quote.
- Demo & framing — removal of the old shower or tub surround, with any framing changes needed for benches or niches.
- Waterproofing & pre-slope — membrane installation and correct slope to the drain, including linear drain systems for curbless showers.
- Layout & setting — tile is planned for symmetrical cuts and set with the right thin-set for the material and location.
- Grouting, sealing & walkthrough — grout and sealant are applied, and we review the finished shower with you before calling the job complete.
Shower Tile Installation Questions
How long does a custom shower tile installation take?
Most custom shower installations take 5–10 working days, depending on whether we're replacing an existing tub/shower combo or building a new curbless shower from the studs out. We'll confirm a firm timeline during your free estimate.
What makes shower waterproofing different from a regular bathroom floor?
A shower is submerged in water daily, so it needs a dedicated waterproofing membrane and correctly sloped pre-pitch to the drain, not just a moisture-resistant backer board. We install proper waterproofing on every shower, which is what prevents leaks into walls and subfloors down the road.
Do you install curbless or zero-entry showers?
Yes. Curbless showers require precise slope planning and a linear or center drain system to work correctly, and we handle that layout as part of the installation — a good option for walk-in accessibility or a cleaner, more open look.
Can you add a niche, bench, or accent band to my shower?
Yes, niches, seated benches, and mosaic or glass accent bands are some of the most common shower upgrades we install, and we build the waterproofing and framing for each one correctly rather than cutting into finished tile after the fact.
Do you offer free estimates for shower remodels?
Yes, every shower tile estimate is free and comes with a written quote. Call (941) 276-0305 or request an estimate online to get started.
