Shower Tile Installation Services in Orlando, Florida
Shower tile installation is one of the most impactful bathroom upgrades you can make, whether you're updating a 1970s tile in downtown Orlando's Thornton Park neighborhood or installing a brand-new walk-in shower in a Winter Springs home. Bill Morgan inc brings 15+ years of experience installing tile in bathrooms across Orange County, handling both standard shower enclosures and elaborate spa-style designs. We work with homeowners in established communities like Maitland and newer developments near Lake Buena Vista, ensuring every installation meets local building codes and exceeds durability standards.
Our shower tile installation process begins with a detailed site assessment and material selection-we help you choose between porcelain, ceramic, natural stone, and glass tile options that match your Orlando home's style and moisture exposure. Next, we prep the shower walls with cement board and apply waterproofing membranes to prevent mold and water damage, a critical step in Florida's humid climate. Then our craftsmen lay each tile using industry-standard thin-set mortar, maintain proper grout lines (typically 1/16 inch to 3/8 inch), and seal grout with penetrating sealant. Final inspection ensures level installation, proper drainage slope toward the drain, and flawless caulking at corners-work completed efficiently without disrupting your home.

Our Shower Tile Installation Process
Initial Consultation and Site Assessment
We visit your Orlando-area home (Longwood, Altamonte Springs, or surrounding areas) to evaluate your shower space, discuss tile options, and provide a detailed estimate within 24 hours. This consultation includes measurement, moisture assessment, and building code review.
Wall Preparation and Waterproofing
Our team removes old tile if needed, installs or repairs cement board, and applies two-part waterproofing membrane to all shower walls. This critical step, completed in day 1 of most projects, prevents water intrusion behind walls-essential in Florida's humid climate near Maitland and Winter Springs.
Tile Layout, Cutting, and Installation
We perform a dry layout to minimize cuts and ensure symmetrical design, then apply thin-set mortar and set each tile with proper spacing. Most shower walls are completed in 4-6 hours, with custom tile cutting and trim pieces fitted to perfection around fixtures and edges.
Grouting and Sealing
After tile sets for 24 hours, we apply color-matched grout with consistent 1/8 inch joints, clean excess grout the same day, and seal all grout lines with penetrating sealant within 48 hours to protect against mold and moisture.
Final Caulking, Inspection, and Cleanup
We caulk inside corners and all edges with 100% silicone, perform final inspection for level installation and proper drainage slope, and clean all surfaces. Your shower is ready for use within 3-5 days of starting installation.
