"I had to get a walk-in shower installed at my 98 year old Mother’s home. I contacted Skinners Flooring to get estimate and some ideas for replacing a very small walk-in shower that had no handrails nor seat. Daniel work with me, giving me great ideas for safety, durability and looks. He also suggested the latest style of shower systems to eliminate the possibility of leaks or issues down the road. He suggested tile configuration, and colors that would be appealing to the eye. He planned the handrails and seat for safety. During all of this he was always respectful When we finished planning it out, the price and time frame agreed upon, Daniel started. The old shower was to demolished and the drain was relocated to properly drain the new, much larger shower. Daniel kept things neat, was always prompt and finish the shower in a timely fashion Working with Daniel throughout this process was a pleasure, he was very easy to work with and very professional and knowledgeable which allowed me to focus on my Mother. Mother Loved the shower! Randy Albin"

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts

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 easiest to start from an edge as it gives you a straight line. A problem may arise if your edge doesn’t line up perfectly, in which case it’s best to start from the center. Some think that starting tile from the center adds a focal point in the center of the hearth. 

It’s best to start with tiling the shower floor before moving on to the walls for the most visually-pleasing results. When taking on any tiling project, you’ll want the wall tiles to “sit” neatly on the floor tiles rather than overlapping them. Finishing your floor tiles first will allow you to place your wall tiles without any gaps, holes, or awkward intersections.

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.

The tile spacing you should use will depend on the tile and where you’re installing it. Choosing the right tile spacers to maintain a consistent gap between your tiles is tricky. Generally, tile spacing shouldn’t be less than 2 millimeters on walls and 3 millimeters on floors because of stress relief requirements. Getting it wrong can result in uneven tiles and early repairs.
