Custom Marble Shower – Preparation Matters
Not every shower is ready for tile installation.
During this project, we discovered multiple low spots and uneven wall surfaces. The existing shower liner was pushing the lower section of the back wall outward, preventing a flat installation.
To create a proper substrate for the marble tile, we:
✔ Removed the affected green board
✔ Installed 1/4” Fiberock in repair areas
✔ Framed and prepared the niche
✔ Flattened walls with thinset mortar
✔ Corrected low spots and uneven surfaces
✔ Reapplied waterproofing over repaired areas
Taking the time to properly prepare the walls ensures a flatter installation, better pattern alignment, and a higher-quality finished shower.
Next step: Custom marble installation.
