Plan the complete assembly
A successful tiled shower is built behind the tile first. The scope should treat drainage, waterproofing, penetrations, niches and edge profiles as one assembly, then set the visible tile to balanced lines. Bathroom floors should be prepared for the selected tile format and matched carefully to doorways, tubs and vanities.
In a renovation with existing layers of flooring, the scope becomes clearer after the base is assessed. Photos of thresholds and exposed edges help us prepare for removal and rebuilding.
We carry out your tile work to the agreed scope. We confirm materials, preparation, pricing and scheduling with you before installation begins.
Local planning context
A useful quote should reflect the room, tile, substrate, access and schedule—not only a square-foot figure. These local conditions deserve an explicit place in the scope.
A project-specific local brief
The waterproofing, drain, penetrations and tile finish need to be scoped as one assembly rather than separate cosmetic tasks. The notes below combine that service requirement with the property and access conditions commonly raised in Saint John; the actual site still controls the final method.
Existing floor layers and disposal access. Confirm framing movement, substrate condition, drain position, shower slope and whether demolition is needed to inspect concealed water damage.
Substrate repair before tile is installed. Record the route for debris, backer panels and tile, plus water shutoff, elevator or work-hour rules when the bathroom is in an occupied building.
Finished heights beside original flooring. Keep waterproofing, mortar and grout within their required storage and curing temperatures; winter deliveries should not leave setting materials exposed to freezing.

Common questions
Use the answers as a starting point and confirm the complete installation method for the actual property and product.
Start with the existing substrate, access and finished elevations. In Saint John, the conversation should also cover existing floor layers and disposal access and substrate repair before tile is installed. For this project type, confirm shower waterproofing systems, custom niches and benches, bathroom floor tile.
Yes. We provide bathroom & shower tile in Saint John. You work directly with Tiling.ca for your project. Availability is confirmed for the specific scope and schedule.
Timing depends on demolition, substrate condition, waterproofing and tile format. A straightforward installation is often completed in several working days, while custom niches, large-format tile or repair work can extend the schedule. Your written scope should identify the stages before work starts.
Sometimes, but only when the existing installation is sound, flat, well bonded and compatible with the new finished height. The existing surface should be inspected first. Removing failed or uncertain material is usually the safer choice for wet areas.
