Retiling your bathroom shower is a significant renovation project that can enhance both the functionality and aesthetic appeal of your bathroom. However, understanding the cost and factors involved is essential for budgeting and planning. In this blog, we’ll break down the costs associated with retiling a shower, what impacts those costs, and why hiring a professional, like Nice Reno, ensures you get the best value for your investment.
What Is the Average Cost to Retile a Bathroom Shower?
1. Tile Costs
- Basic Ceramic Tiles: $2 – $5 per square foot
- Porcelain Tiles: $3 – $10 per square foot
- Natural Stone Tiles (e.g., marble, travertine): $8 – $20+ per square foot
- Glass or Mosaic Tiles: $10 – $30+ per square foot
The choice of tile significantly impacts the final price. For homeowners seeking durability and elegance, porcelain or natural stone tiles are excellent options.
2. Labor Costs
Professional installation usually costs between $10 and $20 per square foot. This includes:
- Tile Removal: $2 – $5 per square foot for demolishing old tiles.
- Surface Preparation: Ensuring the walls are level and waterproof.
- Tile Installation: Precision cutting, placing, and grouting tiles.
Hiring professionals like Nice Reno guarantees the job is done right the first time, saving you from potential issues like leaks or uneven tiles.
3. Additional Costs
- Waterproofing: $100 – $500 to ensure your shower walls are sealed properly.
- Grout and Sealant: $50 – $150 for materials to keep tiles secure and waterproof.
- Custom Features: Adding niches, borders, or decorative patterns can increase costs.
Factors That Affect Retiling Costs
1. Shower Size
A larger shower will naturally require more tiles and labor, increasing the overall cost.
2. Tile Pattern
Complex patterns (e.g., herringbone or diagonal layouts) take more time to install and may cost more in labor.
3. Demolition Needs
If the old tiles are difficult to remove or if the substrate needs repairs, the cost will rise.
4. Customization
Features like built-in niches, borders, or bench seating add both functionality and a premium look, but they require more materials and labor.
