"Luis and his guys are awesome! The work was done on time and looks better than I expected! I had my entire house remodeled, and Luis helped me with all the hardwood floors, tile in the Kitchen, bathroom and titled my entire master shower. The shower is by far the WOW piece of the house now. Everyone Loves it! Thanks again Luis for being easy to work with and very helpful through the process!!"

"We needed to have the grout in our shower replaced and the marble sealed. It was done efficiently and the job turned out great. As long as they were here they sealed the grout on our tile floors and cleaned the tile backsplash in the kitchen and sealed it too. Very happy with Xplosive City Tile and would use them again. Highly recommend."

"Kendall is great. He’s detail oriented and knows his trade well. They tiled my kitchen floor and stove backsplash. The floor looks amazing. We really love it! They created a clean transition between existing wood floor to new kitchen tile. His guys did my backsplash, which is nice too, but the grout line along the edge is not straight, and there’s a tile that is noticeably not aligned with the others. That’s bothersome. His guys did clean up after the end of day, which is nice. The end of project clean up was fine but I still needed to do a lot afterward."

Backsplash Installation FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, it would be best if you waterproofed your shower walls before tiling. The cement backing board behind the tile is not waterproof; it’s only water-resistant. On top of your tile backing board, be sure to use a waterproof shower membrane before you start installing your shower tiles.

Yes, you can tile over existing tiles in a bathroom, but it is not always recommended. For this method to be successful, the original tile surface must be clean, flat, and free of damage such as cracks, unevenness, mold, or mildew. While tiling over existing tiles can save time and money, there are potential drawbacks. The new adhesive may not bond properly, and the process adds extra weight to the wall or floor. Additionally, the increased height of the surface could interfere with door clearances. For the best and most durable results, removing the old tiles before installing new ones is generally the better option.

For best results, you should remove the toilet in a bathroom before removing tile or installing new tile. If you don’t remove the toilet, it will be harder to fully waterproof the tile around the toilet, which could increase the risk of mold growth or plumbing leaks. If you have trouble removing the toilet, hire a plumber to help.

Bathrooms are naturally moisture-rich environments, so choose a durable, water-resistant tile for your tub surround. Porcelain and ceramic are two popular options that are also quite affordable. Glass is another good option that’s also low-maintenance—you just need a glass cleaner like you would use on the bathroom mirror. Natural stone tile is porous, but it’s still a viable option if you choose it in a glazed version.

If you’re looking for a durable tile for a shower floor, consider porcelain, stone, or vinyl tiles. Each of these options, when installed correctly, will stand up well to everything from water and moisture to the impact from a dropped bottle of body wash. These materials are also easy to clean and maintain, making them popular options for shower floors.
