Stage 02

Removing the old shower and bathroom fittings

The existing shower and its wall finishes were dismantled to make room for the new shower assembly. The renovation also included removal and replacement of the shower fittings and door, toilet, vanity and light fixture.

The earlier floor finish was replaced as part of the bathroom tile work. The preparation photographs below show the shower after its old wall finish had been removed and the new backing was in place.

Stage 03

Installing cement-board shower walls

New cement board was installed around the shower to form the backing for the waterproofing and tile. The photographs show the panel arrangement, treated joints and the opening for the shower control.

An orange layer is visible at the shower base during this preparation stage. The black-and-white patterned bathroom floor is also already visible outside the shower in these views.

Preparation: new cement board around the shower and an orange layer at the shower base.

Waterproofing material was installed in the shower before the new tile finish. The preparation photograph shows a continuous gray coating over the shower walls and base.

This view records the prepared surfaces before they were covered with the marble-look tile. The shower control opening and drain location remain visible during the work.

Stage 05

Installing shower tile and the patterned floor

Large marble-look tiles were installed on the shower walls. The work-in-progress photograph shows the veining, horizontal tile courses, spacers and leveling clips while the wall installation was underway.

The floor tile combines a decorative black-and-white pattern in the bathroom with a light tile finish inside the shower. The patterned floor gives the compact room a distinct visual detail alongside the light shower walls.

The bathroom work also included a new toilet, a white vanity with a washbasin and faucet, and a new vanity light. The wider result photograph shows these installed elements with the patterned floor; wall touch-up areas are still visible around the mirror.
