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.
Millcreek bathrooms tend to sit in well kept mid-century brick homes on the east bench, near 3300 South and Highland Drive, often owned by the second or third family there. The remodels are considered rather than urgent, and natural stone, large format porcelain, and detail work like a mitered curb come up more often here than elsewhere in the valley. Those choices raise the demands on the substrate. Stone needs a flat plane and a setting method matched to the material, and a mitered edge is unforgiving of a wall that is not straight.
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 Millcreek?
Jobs here usually move on the choices rather than on repairs, since the houses are generally sound. Natural stone, large format porcelain, a mitered curb, and a curbless entry each raise the flatness requirement and the labor behind it, and stone adds sealing and a specific setting method. 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.
Is natural stone a reasonable choice for a Millcreek shower?
It can be, with the maintenance understood up front. Marble and limestone are porous, they etch from ordinary bathroom products, and they need sealing on a schedule rather than once. Some stone is translucent enough that the setting material shows through, so it takes a white mortar and full coverage behind every piece. If the household wants the look without the upkeep, a porcelain that reads as stone behaves better in a daily use shower.
