What “custom” really means in a tile shower

A custom shower is not just a fancy tile choice. It is a shower built to your exact dimensions, with the niche where you want it, the bench at the height you want, the curb you want (or no curb at all), and a waterproofing system designed for that build. We plan it with you and execute it cleanly.

Common custom shower features

Walk-in / curbless designs, double showers, large single niches, multi-shelf niches, integrated benches, accent feature walls, ceiling tile, bullnose-free finishes using metal trim, linear drains, and large-format slab-look porcelain. We build the option that fits the room and the budget.

How we plan a custom shower

We start with measurements and the way the bathroom is used. From there we map out tile sizes, grout joints, niche placement, valve position, slope, and drain location. The plan goes on the wall in pencil before any tile is cut.

Materials for custom showers

Porcelain in large-format or slab looks is the most popular choice on Long Island right now. Marble and natural stone still have a strong following for high-end bathrooms. Glass and patterned tile show up most often as niche backs or accent strips.

FAQ

Custom Tile Showers — Frequently Asked Questions

Can you build a curbless / walk-in shower?
Yes, when the framing and drain location allow it. Curbless showers require careful planning of the subfloor, drain, and waterproofing — we go through this with you before quoting.
Can I bring my own tile?
Yes. Many homeowners choose their tile themselves. We can also help you size and select tile that will work for the layout you want.
Do you do shower-only renovations?
Yes. We frequently do shower-only projects without touching the rest of the bathroom.
What makes a shower "custom" vs. a standard build?
A custom shower means the layout, niches, benches, curb, and tile pattern are designed around your bathroom — not pulled from a prefab kit. We plan tile cuts so you don’t get awkward slivers next to your niche or behind the valve.
Can you build a shower bench, niche, and seat in the same shower?
Absolutely — those are favorite features on Long Island primary baths. We frame and waterproof them so they shed water properly, and we tile them with cuts that look intentional, not like an afterthought.
Do you use Schluter / Kerdi systems?
Yes. Schluter-Kerdi is one of the systems we trust most for waterproofing. We also work with RedGard, Hydro Ban, and similar surface-applied membranes — the right choice depends on your substrate and timeline.
How big can a tile shower niche be?
Standard niches run 12"x24" to 14"x36". Long Island homes with wider stud bays can sometimes accommodate larger ones, and we can build a tall, narrow niche for shampoo bottles plus a wider shelf for soap. We plan niche placement around the tile layout so cuts stay clean.
