Marble and Granite questions, answered by experts
Yes, your shower pan goes underneath your tiling and helps prevent excess water from seeping into the floor. Without the shower pan under your tile, water will seep through the grout and into the flooring. This will eventually lead to mold growth and serious water damage that could cost thousands of dollars to fix.
No, you don’t need to remove the old grout before installing new tile over existing tile. In fact, the old grout helps fill in gaps between tiles, creating a more even surface for the new layer. However, it's important to ensure that the grout is clean, solid, and free of cracks or crumbling areas. Damaged grout should be repaired or replaced before proceeding. Cleaning the surface thoroughly and filling any low spots will help the new adhesive bond properly and ensure a smooth, stable installation.
Yes, it’s always a good idea to keep a box or two of spare tiles after a home renovation project. Tiles can crack from improper installation, heavy foot traffic, and impact from drops. Having some extra tile on hand can make replacement fast, easy, and affordable. Plus, some manufacturers might discontinue particular colors or styles, and slight variations in tile colors between batches could mean mismatched tiles even if your product isn’t discontinued. Having a few spare tiles in storage can help avoid these issues, as well.
Natural stone is formed in deep layers of the Earth through natural processes over thousands of years. The solid composition formations become massive rock beds, or quarries, from which miners extract them.
Tile installation costs about $2,000 on average. Costs vary widely depending on the installation site, the size of the area, the type of tile, the complexity of the design or pattern, and your home’s location. Prices range from as low as $400 up to $6,500 or more. Additional cost factors include the durability rating of the tile, the porosity of the tile, and the site prep requirements.
Some of the most common tile areas include:
Kitchen floor: $870–$6,100
Countertop or backsplash: $500–$3,000
Bathroom floor: $300–$2,400
Shower wall: $225–$2,000
