"Bill removed old tub in one bath, built tile shower with bench and tiled floor. Also Bill built tile shower and tiled floor in new master bath. Bill was always on time, very nice person, honest and takes pride in his work and it shows. If we need tile work again he is our go to person. We did not know who to hire to do the job so looked at reviews and was pleased with what we read on Bill Morin Tile. Glad we did, turned out great."

"I have several homes in Walker Co. that needed attention. Large projects over the past 6 years. The Romanos have been my go to contractors. From replacing a roof, to an entire home remodel. Their tile work is amazing. Too much to list. Everything they have done for me has turned out exceptional. They are high quality craftsmen that always deliver the most amazing results. Very respectful around your home, and family. I highly recommend Romano Remodeling!!!"

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts

Like glass tiles, you will not need to seal most porcelain tiles, particularly if the porcelain is already glazed. It depends on quality. Porcelain is very water resistant, but it is not 100% waterproof. To avoid staining, some homeowners use a penetrating sealer. It is also a good idea to seal your grout. Unless you use epoxy grout, grout is very porous and can harbor bacteria, mold, and mildew.

The number of shower niches you need (or want) depends on the size of the shower and how many bathroom products you plan on storing. If you keep it simple with just soap and shampoo, the one shower niche will probably do the trick. But if you’re adding scrubs and soaks, you may need to think about installing two or more.

Tile shouldn’t be set tight against the tub. Bathtubs can expand when filled, and they can shift slightly with the weight of occupants. For this reason, it’s important to leave a slight gap between the bathtub and the first row of tile. Aim for a narrow gap of approximately 1/16 of an inch, filled with caulk, to allow for this expansion and movement while still allowing for tile shower waterproofing.

It’s best to install a shower door after the bathroom tile is in place to ensure you have accurate measurements. If you try installing a shower door first, the tile might be too thick to install afterward, or the tile will be too thin and create a gap between the shower doors that allows water to leak. With the tile in place first, you’ll know the exact shower door size that you need.

The process takes two to four days, depending on the size of the area and your experience level. The first day involves assessing and prepping the existing tile, while the second day is for laying the new tile. This may take longer in complex areas. After letting the adhesive dry for 24 hours, grouting and sealing can be completed on day three. For larger projects or intricate tile patterns, expect the timeline to stretch a bit longer. Also, proper drying time between steps is essential for long-lasting results, which extends the project’s time.
