Project overview
A complete ensuite renovation with full-height 600 × 1200 porcelain, a frameless level-entry shower and a recessed niche aligned to the grout grid.
The existing room was stripped back to the framing. New substrate boards were installed and checked for flatness before the waterproofing membrane was applied and inspected.
The tile layout was drawn out on every wall so the niche, shower mixer and vanity all landed on balanced cuts, with no slivers at the corners or ceiling line.
How the work is done
Every stage is checked before the next begins — the finish is only as good as the work underneath it.
Removed the old lining, replaced damaged framing and installed new wet-area boards, checked to within 3 mm over 2 m.
Screeded the shower floor to falls towards a linear drain, then applied and cured a liquid membrane with reinforced junctions.
Centred the grout grid on the niche and mixer so cuts at the corners and ceiling were matched on both sides.
Back-buttered every panel, used levelling clips for lippage, then finished with epoxy grout and neutral-cure silicone.
