[Start a Project](/contact/) [(415) 482-8453](tel:+14154828453) A bathroom is the hardest-working tiled space in the home and the least forgiving of shortcuts. Water finds every gap, so what happens behind the tile matters as much as the tile itself. Tile Arts Inc builds bathrooms that are watertight first and stunning second, because a beautiful shower that leaks is a failed shower. From a powder-room refresh to a full spa-style primary bath, we handle waterproofing, niches, benches, curbless entries, and the precise cuts around fixtures and glass that make a bathroom feel finished. We help you choose materials (marble mosaic, large-format porcelain, handmade ceramic) that turn a daily routine into something that feels like a retreat. What’s Included ## Scope of the work. ### Showers & wet areas Properly waterproofed shower walls, pans, niches, benches, and curbless entries built to keep water where it belongs. ### Tub surrounds & walls Tub decks, surrounds, and full wainscot or floor-to-ceiling wall tile set crisp and plumb. ### Floors & heated floors Slip-aware floor tile and optional in-floor radiant heat, prepped and laid for a flat, lasting finish. ### Vanities & details Vanity walls, accent bands, mosaic features, and clean terminations around fixtures, glass, and trim.

How do you keep a tiled shower from leaking? Waterproofing is the whole game. We build the shower with a proper waterproof membrane or pan system behind the tile, sloped correctly to the drain, with sealed niches and corners. The tile is the finish; the system behind it is what keeps water out of your walls. What tile is best for a bathroom floor? Porcelain and many stones work well; the key is slip resistance and proper sealing for natural stone. We help you balance look, safety, and maintenance, and we can add radiant heat under the floor while we’re at it. Can you do a curbless / walk-in shower? Yes. Curbless showers look clean and improve accessibility, but they demand careful slope and waterproofing. It’s exactly the kind of detail we plan for up front. Do you reseal natural stone in bathrooms? Yes. Marble and other natural stones need periodic sealing to resist staining and etching. We seal on install and can advise on a maintenance schedule, or come back to reseal as part of repair & restoration. Related Services ## You might also need.
