Gray Tub-Shower Combo in Alsip
About This Project
A tub-shower combo retile in an Alsip ranch home — the original ceramic tile was showing its age and the grout had cracked in several places. We demoed the existing surround, checked the substrate, and installed new light gray large-format tile with a clean floating vanity area as part of a broader bathroom refresh.
Tub-shower combos have a specific challenge at the glass screen track: the tile needs to terminate cleanly at the track anchor points, and the track itself needs to be installed after the tile is in place to sit flush against the tile face. We coordinated with the homeowner on the glass screen installation sequence so our tile work was complete and cured before the track was anchored.
The gray tile here is a 12x24 format set in a 1/3 offset pattern — a modest size that works well in a standard Alsip ranch bathroom without overwhelming the space. The floating vanity wall was tiled to match the surround, extending the cohesive look across the full bathroom.
What We Did
- Demo existing surround tile, assess and repair substrate
- Waterproof membrane on all wet-area walls
- 12x24 light gray tile in 1/3 offset, surround and vanity wall
- Floor tile, gray grout throughout, silicone at tub-to-tile joint
