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.
Midvale sits at both ends of the age range. Around historic Main Street and the blocks by Midvale City Park the houses predate most of this part of the valley, and their bathrooms rarely measure the same at the top of the wall as at the bottom. Walls lean, floors run downhill toward one corner, and old plumbing was moved more than once. At Bingham Junction and Jordan Bluffs the construction is new and square, and the questions turn to layout instead of repair. Same shower, two very different starting points.
What this covers
- Full walk-in shower, walls and pan
- Shower walls over an existing pan or base
- Mosaic shower pans in hex, penny, or pebble
- Niches, benches, and corner shelves
- Waterproofing membrane and backer board
- Curbless and low-curb entries
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 shower and how much of it is tile rather than glass
- Whether the old shower has to come out first, and what is found behind it
- The tile itself: large format, mosaic, and natural stone are not the same job
- Whether the pan is built on site or set as a preformed base
- Niches, benches, and curbless entries, each of which changes the waterproofing detail
- Whether a plumber has to move a drain or valve before tile work can start
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?

Scope and licensing: Moving a drain, a valve, or a supply line is licensed plumbing work in Utah and is not part of a tile installer's scope. If your shower needs it, that is a separate licensed trade, and it usually has to happen before the tile work begins. Related reading: Does a tile installer need a license in Utah?

Questions
Frequently asked
How much does a tile shower cost in Midvale?
The starting point decides most of it. An old house near Main Street can need walls floated back toward plumb, framing repaired, and plumbing corrected before tile is even a topic, while a newer place at Bingham Junction is usually a straight rebuild where tile size, a niche, and the drain detail set the work. 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.
The bathroom in this old Midvale house is out of square. How is that handled?
Tile shows an out of square room far worse than paint does, because a straight grout line next to a leaning wall makes the lean obvious. The installer decides early whether to float the walls back toward plumb or to split the error across two corners so no single joint looks wrong. Large format tile is less forgiving here than a smaller format. On a sloping floor the pan is built to the drain regardless of what the room does, and the curb height is taken from the finished floor rather than the old one.
