Wall & Shower Tile Installation in Vancouver
Precision wall tiling for showers, tub surrounds, fireplace surrounds, feature walls, and commercial interiors. We handle surface prep, wet-area build-outs, layout, setting, grouting, sealing, and trims — so your walls stay straight, clean, and easy to maintain across Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey, the North Shore, and Tri-Cities.
Why Choose Wall Tile
Wall tile outlasts paint and panels, resists moisture and stains, and elevates design from entry to ensuite.
- Moisture control: proper backers and wet-area systems protect behind the tile.
- Low maintenance: glazed faces wipe clean; sealed grout resists discolouration.
- Design range: subway, stacked, herringbone, chevron, mosaics, and feature accents.
- Longevity: correct detailing means fewer callbacks and better value.

Our Wall Tile Installation Process
1) Site Prep & Protection
Protect floors/fixtures; set benchmarks to align with cabinetry, mirrors, and shelves.
2) Substrate & Wet-Area System
Backers are installed correctly; wet zones receive continuous systems with treated corners and penetrations.
3) Layout & Dry Fit
Map coursing; avoid slivers; carry lines through niches and corners for a clean look.
4) Setting Tile
Correct mortars and coverage; consistent spacing; mitred or trimmed edges as planned.
5) Grouting & Sealing
Grout packed, washed, tooled; sealer applied after cure where appropriate for stain resistance.
6) Cleanup & Handover
Haze removed, surfaces polished, and care guidance provided.

Wall Tile Installation — FAQs
Do you waterproof behind wall tile?
Yes — in wet areas we install continuous systems with treated corners and sealed penetrations where required.
Can you install large-format tile on walls?
Yes. We correct substrates, plan coursing, and use the proper mortars and coverage to keep large-format walls true and secure.
How do you keep grout from staining?
We use compatible, high-quality grout, seal after cure where appropriate, and can colour-seal older grout for uniform tone and protection.
Typical timelines?
Backsplashes are typically 1–2 days. Showers can take longer due to wet-area scope and cure times. We provide a written schedule.
Do you offer after-hours work?
Yes — nights/weekends are available for restaurants, clinics, gyms, and retail environments when needed.
