A custom tile shower is the centerpiece of any bathroom, and it is also the project where waterproofing and craftsmanship matter most. At Oregon Tile and Flooring, we build walk-in showers, curbless zero-entry showers, and custom tile surrounds that look beautiful and stay watertight for the long haul.
Every shower starts with a properly built, fully waterproofed base. We use modern membrane and foam backer systems so the pan, curb, and walls are sealed correctly before a single tile goes up. That hidden work is what separates a shower that lasts decades from one that fails in a few years.
From there, the design is yours. We install large-format and marble-look porcelain, subway and herringbone walls, pebble, hex, and marble mosaic floors, built-in benches, and recessed niches with shelves. One of our favorite suggestions is taking the tile floor to ceiling and adding a generous niche, which turns a plain shower into a real focal point. For wet areas we typically recommend porcelain and ceramic over softer natural stones like travertine, so your shower stays beautiful without constant upkeep.
Curbless, zero-entry showers are a specialty we love. They require recessing the floor and sloping it precisely toward the drain, plus careful waterproofing, which is exactly the kind of detailed work we do best. The result is a clean, modern, barrier-free shower that is easier to step into and easier to clean.

A curbless or zero-entry shower has no raised lip to step over. Building one requires recessing the bathroom floor and sloping it precisely toward the drain, plus careful waterproofing. That extra structural and prep work is why it costs more than a standard shower, but the result is a sleek, modern, barrier-free space.
Before any tile goes up, we build the pan and walls with a modern waterproofing system using bonded membranes and foam backer board, with every seam and corner sealed. Proper waterproofing is the most important part of a shower and the main reason to hire an experienced, licensed installer.
For wet areas we usually recommend porcelain and ceramic, including marble-look porcelain that gives you the high-end look without the maintenance. Softer natural stones such as travertine can stain or break and need more upkeep, so we guide you toward materials that hold up in a shower.
Yes, and we recommend it. Built-in niches with shelves, tiled benches, and floor-to-ceiling tile are some of the upgrades that make the biggest difference. We often suggest extending the tile higher and adding a larger niche, which transforms the whole shower.
