Expert Shower Tile Installation for Calgary Homes
A professionally tiled shower starts well before the first tile goes up. Studio Pietra’s installation team brings the technical skill and local knowledge to handle every detail correctly, from base selection and waterproofing to tile layout and final grout seal.
We work with two main shower types: custom showers built on Schluter bases with Kerdi membrane waterproofing, and acrylic base showers for clients looking for a more straightforward option. Both can be finished with quality wall tile. Both benefit from the same professional installation standards we apply to every project.
Shower Wall Tile Installation
Your shower walls set the tone for the entire bathroom. Studio Pietra installs wall tile in every format, from classic ceramic subway tile to floor-to-ceiling large-format porcelain and natural stone feature walls. Every wall installation starts with a properly waterproofed substrate, so your tile stays secure and your walls stay protected.
We help you choose the right tile for your space, your layout, and your style. Whether you prefer a clean, minimal look or a bold statement design, we install it with precision from corner to corner.
WHY HOMEOWNERS CHOOSE STUDIO PIETRA FOR SHOWER WALL TILE
- Full coverage from tub surround height to full ceiling height
- Porcelain, ceramic, and natural stone options available
- Proper waterproofed substrate included with every installation
- Consistent grout lines and level tile throughout
Shower Floor Tile Installation
Shower floors take more punishment than any other surface in your bathroom. The right tile and the right installation technique make all the difference for safety, drainage, and long-term durability. Our team installs slip-resistant floor tile with the correct slope toward the drain so water clears cleanly every time.
We work with mosaic tile, small-format porcelain, and textured stone options that provide grip without sacrificing style. Every shower floor installation includes proper waterproofing beneath the tile bed to keep moisture where it belongs.
WHY HOMEOWNERS CHOOSE STUDIO PIETRA FOR SHOWER FLOOR TILE
- Slip-resistant tile options for safe, confident footing
- Correct floor slope installed for proper drainage
- Waterproofed tile bed beneath every shower floor
- Mosaic and small-format options for curved drain surrounds
Walk-In Shower Tile Installation
A walk-in shower is one of the most impactful upgrades you can make to a master bathroom. We design and install custom walk-in showers in Calgary with the precision that large, open shower spaces demand. From frameless layouts to niche integration to coordinated wall and floor tile, we handle the full scope.
We work with you on tile selection, layout direction, and grout colour to create a finished space that feels cohesive and intentional. Every installation is built to last, properly waterproofed, correctly sloped, and finished with care.
WHY HOMEOWNERS CHOOSE STUDIO PIETRA FOR WALK-IN SHOWER INSTALLATION
- Custom tile layouts designed for your specific shower dimensions
- Large-format tile available for a seamless, modern look
- Floor-to-ceiling tile work handled with precision
- Coordinated wall, floor, and niche tile for a unified finish
Custom Shower Tile Installation
Custom showers are generally built from the ground up using Schluter and Wedi waterproof systems. From base to walls, they are built with moisture-resistant materials designed to handle water, humidity, and movement.
For clients on a budget choosing non-waterproof backer boards, we ensure Kerdi membrane and Redgard are applied throughout to achieve the same high waterproofing standards that more expensive premade materials would offer. The base is carefully sloped and tiled with anti-slip tile for safe, confident footing every day.
Slope is one of the most important details in a custom shower build and one we take seriously on every project. A properly sloped floor keeps water contained just as effectively as a curb, which is why many clients choose a curbless design. Both options are available. We build to suit your preference and your space.
WHY HOMEOWNERS CHOOSE STUDIO PIETRA FOR CUSTOM SHOWER TILE
- 15+ years of experience in proper waterproofing
- Anti-slip floor tile and correctly sloped base on every build
- Curbless or curbed design available to suit your preference
- Coordinated wall, floor, and niche tile for a unified finish
- 40% off tiles when installing with us
Shower Niches, Benches & Custom Features
The details are what make a custom shower feel truly finished. Our team installs tiled shower niches, built-in benches, and linear drain surrounds that are fully waterproofed and integrated with the surrounding tile work. Every feature is measured, levelled, and tiled to match the rest of your shower design.
For clients interested in a full steam shower experience, we also offer dedicated steam shower installation in Calgary, a separate service that covers everything that goes into a steam shower, from Wedi board enclosures to proper vapor-proof waterproofing, and ceiling slope requirements.
WHY HOMEOWNERS CHOOSE STUDIO PIETRA FOR CUSTOM SHOWER FEATURES
- Tiled with clean 45 degree cuts niches, and benches built into the waterproofing system
- Linear drains available, and threshold tile installed with precision
- Custom features designed to match your primary tile selection
- Steam shower installation available as a complete service
Acrylic Base Shower Installation
An acrylic base shower is a practical option for clients who want a reliable, lower-cost starting point. The base comes pre-formed, which simplifies the installation process and reduces overall cost compared to a fully custom build.
The trade-off is longevity of appearance. Acrylic bases can turn yellow over time, which affects the overall look of the shower. If the walls are being tiled, a niche can still be built in for added functionality. It’s a solid choice for the right budget and the right space.
WHY HOMEOWNERS CHOOSE AN ACRYLIC BASE OPTION
- Lower upfront cost compared to a fully custom shower build
- Niche installation is still available when walls are being tiled
- Faster installation process with a pre-formed base
- Same quality wall tile installation regardless of base type

Calgary Shower Tile Installation FAQs
How much does shower tile installation cost in Calgary?

Booking installation with us also includes 40% off all premium tile materials, which significantly reduces your overall project cost.
How long does shower tile installation take?
Most standard shower tile installations take two to four days from start to finish, including surface preparation, waterproofing, tile setting, and grouting.
Walk-in showers or projects with custom features like niches and benches may take a day or two longer, depending on scope.
What type of tile is best for shower walls?
Porcelain is the most popular choice for shower walls as they’re durable, water-resistant, and available in a wide range of sizes and finishes.
Natural stone is a beautiful option, but requires sealing to stay protected. Large-format tiles are increasingly popular for a seamless, modern look with fewer grout lines.
Do you waterproof the shower before tiling?
Yes, always. Waterproofing is a non-negotiable part of every shower tile installation we complete.
For custom shower builds, we use Schluter bases and drains with Kerdi membrane applied at all corners and joints.
Walls are waterproofed with Redgard over the backer board, and Kerdi membrane at the corners.
Every shower we build is fully waterproofed before a single tile goes down.
Can you tile over my existing shower tile?
In some cases, yes, but it depends on the condition of the existing tile and the substrate beneath it. Tiling over existing tile adds height and weight, which affects the drain and door clearance.
In most cases, we recommend removing the existing tile to inspect and properly waterproof the substrate before installing new tile.
What tile size works best for a small shower?
Smaller format tiles, like 4×4 or mosaic sheets, tend to work well in smaller showers because they conform to curved surfaces and drainage slopes more easily. Medium-format tiles in the 12×24 range can also work beautifully in a small shower if the layout is planned carefully.
Do you install shower niches and benches?
Yes. We install tiled niches with proper clean corners, built-in benches, and options for a linear drain system as part of a complete shower build. Every feature is integrated into the waterproofing system and tiled to match the rest of your shower design.
Should I choose a curbless shower or a shower with a curb?
Both are great options, and we will install either. A properly sloped shower floor does an excellent job of keeping water contained without a curb. Curbless showers have a cleaner look and are easier to step in and out of. A curb adds cost to the build without a significant practical advantage in most cases, but it comes down to personal preference.
