Home · Services · Tile and Surround Installation
Installation or replacement of the wet-area walls around a tub or shower: ceramic and porcelain tile, stone, or panel systems over a proper waterproofing layer.
Tile and surround work is Elizabeth's craft class: the city's older bathrooms carry original tile that has outlived its backer, and the market's tiled conversion pricing from $6,000 reflects real tile labor, not panel work at tile prices. The scope discipline is the trade's: membrane before tile, movement joints where planes change, and the wall behind read before it is covered for another forty years. Elizabeth homeowners should expect tile quotes to be labor-led and to say so; that is what the number is made of.
Not an emergency on its own. It becomes one when the surround is the leak: water behind failing tile rots framing silently, and a musty smell plus hollow tiles after showers is a stop using it signal until the wall is opened. The tile is the symptom; the wall is the patient.
