Smyrna Bathroom Remodel installs bathroom tile and wet-area flooring for homeowners in Smyrna, TN and nearby Rutherford County, so shower walls and floors sit on a waterproofed assembly that can take Middle Tennessee moisture instead of another layer of peel-and-stick.
This service is the surface and the layer under it: floor tile or wet-rated plank, shower walls, curbs, and the board or membrane that keeps water off the joists. We do not treat tile as decoration on top of greenboard that already failed.
It is needed when the floor cups, the grout stays black after cleaning, or a prior owner laid vinyl over tile until the stack is too high for the toilet flange. It is also needed when a new Walk-In Shower Remodel would meet a floor that still slopes the wrong way.
Water under vinyl travels farther than a stain. In a ranch, it finds the vanity toe-kick and the hall threshold. In a two-story Smyrna house, it finds the dining-room ceiling. Recaulking a tub without opening a soft floor leaves the next owner the same smell.
Square footage is the easy part. Leveling, shower-wall waterproofing, heated mats, and mosaic floors in a tiny hall bath take more labor than a simple 5-by-8 porcelain field. Material grade matters less than whether we are tiling three shower walls or only the floor.
Regrouting a sound shower is a repair. A stick-down vinyl over a flat, dry floor is an update. A tile and flooring remodel is when the substrate is wrong: wet board, stacked floors, or a shower wall with no membrane. If the vanity and toilet also have to move, look at a Full Bathroom Remodel so we are not tiling around a cabinet we know you will rip out next year.
Yes, when the shower pan is still sound and we can protect it. If the floor tile runs under a tub or a built-in vanity, those pieces may have to come up too. We say that on the visit instead of promising a weekend floor swap.
Porcelain tile on a flat, waterproofed or cement-board assembly is the default for a wet hall bath. Quality vinyl plank can work in a powder room that does not take shower splash. We do not put leftover oak from a hallway into a wet Smyrna bath.
The tile is rarely the first failure. Grout and the missing waterproofing behind it are. Steam from a weak fan and hard water sit in the joints. Once water is behind the board, no grout color refresh will stop the soft wall.
They can, if the floor is flat enough to take them. A 1970s ranch floor often needs leveling first. We will not set 24-inch tile on a floor that still shows the old tub dip.
It can be, on a wood subfloor or a slab we can trench or overlay. It is an add, not a requirement. We only include it when the electrical path is real and the floor assembly is being opened anyway.
We check the subfloor in your Smyrna home before anyone picks a tile color.
