We have thought of that as well. Not familiar with the Kerdi or hydroban but will look into them. So you would suggest going all the way up the walls not just 2-3 ft from the bottom?

They don't get my quality for $5 "foreign" design either. I'm not bragging or being proud. I've seen their stuff, and some looks great, but steps were skipped and in 5-8 years your tearing out.

I'll get calls for a bid, and they call back " Jim bob will do it for $5" .... Well tell Jim bob to get started... It is hard work, it hurts. As simple as I can think of a shower design.. And all prep work done. I'm just sticking tile on wall and grouting... Say 6x6 over 200 sq.... There's 3 days of work... Hard days for $600 with my tools and trade.... Again not being uppity but they can have it, customers that know will be back and I'll make the same money doing 1/3 less jobs, that I can say " I built that" and the owners will say " come look what we had built"

Well, like everything, its up to the person doing the work. The work may not be for a $1M+ house, but their tile work is up to par. If you can charge $10 and they pay, you are doing good work. I'll always support capitalism. If they pay, take the money.

Some of the advice on these threads crack me up. Listen to Low Fence his work looks good and he sounds like he knows what he is talking about. If you need any advice feel free to pm me. As a company we do 400-500 showers per year.

Low Fence, how much for a shower that has 500 square feet of tile in it total, two inset soap dishes with glass tile in the backs, 55 lin feet of glass tile decco, the ceiling is tile, floors are a river rock tile, it also has a diamond design between the two rows of glass tile, there is also a 3 foot bench, it is polished 18 inch travertine stone for the walls and ceiling, just a ball park price.

Lol. My heads spinning

If I take a guess it will be a big ballpark. Lol

So you are saying you get 10 a sqft for labor to install tile in s shower ?

All day long...

If floor and ceiling are covered in the 500, and nitches are built, pan done, I'm just sealing, red guarding, and sticking on tile and grout..... $5k-5,500. If I hang fiber rock, build nitches, pan turn key probably closer to $6k- $6,500. I know that's a big gap, that's a lot of " interpreting" lol.

What did your guy quote ?

Bathrooms are my bread and butter. 90% of my work is in bathrooms. For shower remodels, charging per foot is not really the way I go about it. I base my prices totally by time it's gonna take and how much detail is involved. Some people like simple (cheaper) and some like the showers to be the Taj Mahal. I've done some really involved ones with lots of shower heads, mood lighting, speakers, and body sprayers. A shower remodel is for sure something you don't give to the lowest bid. You get what you pay for. These are a few I've done around DFW. Some for TBH members. Not bad for a white boy.

I think I came out pretty good in our barter, he did the hardy backer in two normal size tub/showers, about 75 feet of wall tile in each, one had about 100 square feet of floor tile, he put down some kind of board on the floor before the tile, it is upstairs, the master had the 500 feet, he did all the hardy backer as well, he also has to do all the kitchen tile on the walls, maybe 100 feet or so, I have about 6K in the slab I poured for him, would have charged about 9K for the slab.
