How does a tile job run?
Free estimate
Serge measures, looks at what's under the old tile where he can get to it, and talks through tile choices with you.
Tile ordered
Order it with extra for cuts and future repairs. Special-order tile isn't always in a warehouse nearby, so earlier is better.
Old tile removal
The old tile comes off, along with any board or subfloor that is damaged.
Surface prep
Backer board and a membrane go on in wet areas. Floors are stiffened and flattened.
Layout and setting
Layout lines go down with the cuts planned around the valve, the niche and the doorway. Then the tile is set.
Grout and caulk
Grout goes in, flexible caulk goes at the corners and along the tub, and sealer follows once the grout has cured.

Which tile goes where?
Most people end up with porcelain for floors and showers. Here is how the four compare.
| Where it suits | Why | |
|---|---|---|
| Porcelain | Floors and showers | Fired harder than ceramic and takes on very little water; a lot of wood-look and marble-look tile is porcelain |
| Ceramic | Backsplashes and walls outside the shower | Softer and easier to cut |
| Marble, travertine, slate | Where you want no two pieces alike | Never matches piece to piece; most stone needs sealing, and even vinegar can dull marble |
| Mosaic sheets | Shower floors | Bends with the slope, and the grout lines give bare feet something to grip |
Can large-format tile go in a bathroom?
On most floors and walls, yes, but big tile needs a flatter surface. A small tile follows a slight dip in the floor, while a 24-inch tile bridges it and one edge ends up higher than the next, which you feel barefoot. So the floor gets checked with a long straightedge and leveled first.
Shower floors are the tricky case. A floor sloping to a center drain from four sides can't take big flat tiles without a lot of cutting, and a linear drain along one wall, with the whole floor pitched one way, is the usual route to large tile there.
What goes behind the tile in a shower?
A waterproof membrane, over cement board or foam board. Tile and grout aren't waterproof on their own, and regular drywall doesn't belong behind shower tile, even the green moisture-resistant kind.
The weak spots are the corners, the board seams, the niche and every pipe through the wall. When a tiled shower leaks, it's often one of those, and fixing it usually means taking tile off to see what's behind it. Reece W. hired us for that kind of job, on a shower a previous contractor had built.
If you've got a cracked tile, grout that keeps washing out or a shower that has started leaking, call (704) 617-9130 and describe it, or put it in a quote request.
Can you fix tile someone else put in?
Some of our tile jobs start as repairs. One customer called us about a shower a previous contractor had left in a mess, and wrote afterward that the fix was done with precision and attention to detail.
If shower or floor tile is cracking, coming loose or letting water behind the wall, regrouting over it rarely lasts. The fix usually means going back to what is under the tile, and we look at that at the estimate and tell you what it needs.

Questions about tile installation in Charlotte
Do you install tile in Concord and the rest of Cabarrus County?
Yes. Cabarrus County is in our service area, so a tile floor or shower in Concord gets the same free estimate we give in Mint Hill. When you get in touch, tell us the town and what's being tiled, and whether old tile has to come up first.
Can you tile over old tile in a Mecklenburg County house?
Sometimes, on a floor, if every old tile is still bonded and the surface is flat, which a tap test and a straightedge will show. It raises the floor, though, which can catch a door or leave a lip at the next room. In a shower we take the old tile off, because tiling over it hides whatever is wrong behind the wall.
Can you replace a few cracked tiles in a Union County home?
Often, yes. The cracked tile gets cut out, the old mortar ground off, and a new tile set and grouted to match, which is easy if you kept a spare box. Tap the tiles around it first, because several hollow tiles in a shower point to water behind them, and that section has to be opened instead of patched.
What does tile installation cost in Charlotte?
There's no price list here, because two jobs of the same square footage can come out far apart. The tile itself, the pattern, how much prep the floor or wall needs and, in a shower, the waterproofing and a niche move it most. When comparing tile installers, check that each quote includes the membrane and floor prep.
Does porcelain tile need to be sealed?
Usually not the porcelain itself, since it takes on so little water. What needs sealing is the cement grout between the tiles, which is porous, especially on a shower floor. Natural stone is the one that needs sealing on the tile itself, and polished stone may need resealing from time to time.
