Check local availability
Tell us about your tile project. We review each request by hand and, if an independent local installer is available, we put you in touch. Submitting does not guarantee availability.
We do not do the work. Independent local tile installers do, and you contract directly with the one you choose.
South Salt Lake renovations come with history under the surface, so a mosaic feature wall starts with finding out what the substrate actually is. Houses off 2100 South and through the Granary District have often been updated between owners, and adding an accent band to an existing shower means removing a course without damaging what stays and then matching field tile that may no longer be sold. Mosaic also carries far more grout joint than field tile, so sealing and cleaning belong in the decision rather than after it.

What affects the scope
Every tile job is different, and the independent installer who does the work sets their own price. These are the things they will usually need to know before they can estimate:
- The size of the accent area and how it meets the field tile around it
- The mosaic material, since glass, stone, and pebble each set and grout differently
- Whether the layout has to center on a fixture, a niche, or a sight line
- How many edges and transitions need trim or a mitered return
- Whether the accent is going into new work or into existing tile
- Grout choice, because a mosaic has far more joint than a field tile does
Worth asking any installer directly: are you licensed and insured for this work, what waterproofing system do you use, what is your estimate and what does it include, when could you start, and what happens if something is not right afterwards?

Questions
Frequently asked
How much does mosaic and accent tile work cost in South Salt Lake?
In homes that have been remodeled more than once the scope usually depends on what is found behind the existing tile, and on whether the accent can be worked into the surface that is there. Taylorsville Tile Co. does not set prices. If an independent local installer is available for your job, that installer gives you their own estimate and you agree it directly with them before any work starts.
Does a mosaic accent need more upkeep than the rest of a South Salt Lake bathroom?
It usually does, because the same area holds several times more grout joint than a field tile wall. In a shower that means more surface for soap film and hard water to sit on, and a sealer schedule that actually gets followed. A honed stone or an unglazed pebble asks more than glass, which cleans easily but shows water spots. The installer can point out which mosaic in a given design will need the most attention, so the choice is made with that known.
