Expert Waterproofing & Tile Installation — Leak-Free Guaranteed
Waterproofing Your Shower: The Key to a Leak-Free Bathroom
Tile and grout are porous — water will always permeate through them. What protects your home is what’s behind the tile. At Precision Tile, we apply a professional waterproof membrane to every shower we build using the Schluter system — the gold standard in shower waterproofing — guaranteeing your shower will be leak-free for years to come.
We specialize in tearing out old showers and building new ones from scratch. Any size, any scope — from a small bathroom refresh to a complete gut renovation. Fully licensed, insured, and backed by a satisfaction guarantee.
Our 4-Day Shower Build Process
Demo Day
We carefully remove all tile inside the shower enclosure down to bare studs. We flag any hidden damage — mold, rot, or water issues — before they become bigger problems.
Plumbing
If needed, a licensed plumber handles any repairs or changes while the walls are open. No plumber needed? We skip right to Day 3 — no downtime on your project.
Waterproofing & Tile
We install our Schluter or LATICRETE® waterproofing membrane directly to the studs, then begin setting your tile of choice with premium materials specified for the system.
Grout & Finish
We grout with premium mold, mildew, and stain-resistant grout in your color of choice. Every layer is inspected to industry standards for a water-tight, long-lasting finish.
Our Work Speaks for Itself
Every shower we build is waterproofed correctly and tiled beautifully. Here are some recent projects completed right here in Connecticut.

FAQs: Shower Builds & Waterproofing
How can I tell if my shower is leaking behind the tiles?
Signs include loose or hollow-sounding tiles, crumbling grout, mildew smell, water stains on nearby walls or ceilings, and persistent dampness. If you notice any of these, call us before the damage gets worse.
Can you waterproof a shower without removing all the tiles?
No. True waterproofing happens behind the tile — which means the tile must come out. Surface sealers are only a temporary fix. If your waterproofing has failed, full tile removal is the only lasting solution.
Is mold an issue when repairing a leaking shower?
It can be, but in most cases mold isn’t prominent if the leak is caught early. We use mold-resistant materials on every rebuild to protect your new shower long-term. This is why addressing leaks quickly matters.
What waterproofing system do you use?
We use Schluter®-KERDI and LATICRETE® Hydro Ban — both create a true moisture barrier behind your tile that is backed by a lifetime guarantee. These are the industry gold standard, not shortcuts.
Do I need to hire my own plumber?
Not necessarily. We coordinate with licensed plumbers when needed, or work with yours. Either way we handle the scheduling so there’s no downtime on your project.
