Studs-out bathroom remodel with a marble-look tile shower

One crew, one bathroom, taken down to the framing and rebuilt from the plumbing up. New shower pan, full waterproofing, large-format wave tile, a gold-trim niche, and a new porcelain floor.

Finished shower in marble-look porcelain tile with a two-shelf pebble stone niche

What we walked into, and what we built.

This bathroom had an old shower that was leaking behind the walls. Instead of patching over it, we opened everything up to the studs so we could see exactly what we were working with: aging copper, a rotted base, and no real waterproofing anywhere.

We re-ran the hot and cold lines in PEX, set a brand-new shower base, and built the walls back with cement board and foam backer board. A 40-mil PVC pan liner went under a sloped mud bed, and every seam, corner, and screw head got a liquid waterproofing membrane before a single tile went up.

For the finish, the homeowners picked a large-format marble-look porcelain with a wave texture for the shower walls, a matching flat marble-look tile for the floor, and a gold-trimmed niche so the shower has a real focal point. New toilet, new valve trim, new vanity, and a floor-to-ceiling result that looks like it came out of a magazine.
