Built-in shower niches, recessed shelving, and tile nooks with waterproof construction and clean, finished edges.
Looking for professional tile niche & nook installation in Fairview, Alabama? Bama Shower serves Fairview and surrounding Cullman County communities with licensed, insured tile installation services backed by years of hands-on experience.
Shower niches are the number one source of shower leaks when installed incorrectly. Cutting into a waterproofed wall, framing a box, and tiling it requires maintaining the waterproof envelope at every edge and corner — something most contractors shortcut by caulking and hoping for the best. We build niches with waterproof membrane fully integrated into the surrounding wall system, sloped sills for drainage, and Schluter trim or mitered tile edges for a clean finish. We install single niches, double-stacked niches, horizontal niches, and full wall recessed shelving. The key is waterproofing the niche as part of the wall system, not as an afterthought.
A single built-in shower niche in Fairview costs $400 to $1,200 depending on size and whether it's part of a new shower build or being added to an existing shower. Custom niches with accent tile or LED lighting cost more.
Yes, but it requires cutting into the wall, framing the niche, and re-waterproofing the entire area around the opening. It's more cost-effective to add niches during a shower remodel, but we can retrofit them into existing showers.
Improperly installed niches are the number one source of shower leaks. The waterproof membrane must be continuous through the niche — top, bottom, sides, and back. We integrate niche waterproofing into the wall membrane system, not as a separate afterthought.
