Much like a kitchen back-splash, as you shop your options you\u2019ll find a pleasing array of styles, colors and tile sizes to suit your desired look. Many homeowners use a combination of tiles to create a custom look for their shower.<\/p>\n This\u00a0Costimate\u00a0covers the cost of installing tile in a shower of any size or shape. This includes a stall shower, shower and tub or a large luxury shower with premium amenities. Complete cost information for the materials and the labor are included, so you\u2019ll know\u00a0where your money will be spent.<\/p>\n Additional information\u00a0includes cost estimates from other sites for comparison and actual shower tile installation costs from homeowners that have had the work done. We invite you to return once you\u2019ve had your project completed to share your costs with other readers.<\/p>\n Prices from $14.85 to almost $30 per square foot represent a wide range. This section will help you determine where on that spectrum your costs are likely to fall.<\/p>\n Based on the prices and price factors, here are common ranges for typical shower tile installation costs:<\/p>\n Most tile jobs are estimated based on time and\u00a0materials. Here is a breakdown of the material costs plus tools and accessories required for the work.<\/p>\n Permits and Inspection Cost Related Costs and Installation Time <\/strong><\/p>\n In the materials + cost equation, we\u2019ve looked at the materials needed. Labor is the second and most significant cost in putting tile in a shower. Because of the potential for complexity, high volume of cut tiles and working in tight areas, labor costs are higher than for tile floor installation.<\/p>\n Old tile and backer board are removed. The wall studs and framing beneath the shower\u00a0are inspected for moisture damage. Repairs are made. If a new shower line is required, that is an additional $1,000 to $1,500 for the liner and installation.\u00a0The new backerboard and waterproofing materials are installed before the new tile is installed. Then, grout is installed between the tiles.<\/p>\n Shower Tile Install Time Schedule<\/strong><\/p>\n Depending on the size of the shower, the crew might include one or two people.<\/p>\n Here is a sample schedule for a single installer.<\/p>\n Installing tile in a shower is the most challenging work for pros. Getting professional-looking results is difficult. The obstacles to success include laying out\u00a0perfectly straight horizontal and vertical lines, getting even-width grout lines in wall and ceiling\u00a0corners,\u00a0aligning and coordinating ceiling and wall tile lines\u00a0and\u00a0making precise cuts around plumbing.<\/p>\n Improper grouting or installation of the waterproofing materials can result in water damage with far more impact than a slightly crooked line of tiles.<\/p>\n We recommend leaving shower tile installation to experienced professionals that are licensed and insured.<\/p>\n What do you think?
