Bathroom & Shower Tile — St. Petersburg, FL
St. Petersburg is home for T&L Perfect Service — and its bathrooms are our specialty, from 1920s Kenwood bungalows with tiny vintage baths to Shore Acres homes rebuilding after water damage. We install shower and bathroom tile as complete waterproof systems, starting with a free measurement.
Nowhere in Pinellas are bathrooms more varied than St. Petersburg. In Kenwood, the Old Northeast and Historic Uptown (33704, 33713), original 1920s baths are small, charming and frequently hiding decades of slow leaks under layers of tile and paint. In Shore Acres and waterfront neighborhoods, bathrooms get rebuilt after storm water events, and owners want systems that will not rot quietly if water ever returns. Downtown condos (33701) bring a third pattern: compact baths, strict building rules and owners who want a hotel-clean finish.
Our approach fits all three: open it up honestly, fix the substrate, waterproof it as a system, then tile it beautifully. For vintage baths we work with the scale of the room — hex and penny tiles, subway formats and period-friendly layouts that look right in a bungalow. For post-storm rebuilds we document the condition we find and build back with membranes and materials chosen for wet resilience.
Because we are based in St. Petersburg, measurements are quick to schedule and progress is easy to check — you are welcome at our showroom to pick tile from full-size samples. We work across 33701, 33702, 33703, 33704, 33705, 33707, 33710, 33711, 33712, 33713 and 33714.
Every T&L shower is built in layers: sound substrate, a continuous waterproof membrane — walls, pan, corners and penetrations — correct slope to the drain, and only then tile. It is slower than tiling onto bare board, and it is the entire difference between a shower that lasts three years and one that lasts thirty. We photograph the waterproofing stage of your shower before tile covers it.
At the free measurement we check the things that change a quote: subfloor condition around the tub and toilet, signs of past leaks, whether fixtures stay or move, and — in raised bungalows — the access underneath. Bathroom budgets break on surprises; our job is to find them while they are still just information.
Estimates are written, itemized by section and free. Choose tile from our catalog and showroom or supply your own — we verify quantities, sizes and trims before demolition. And if the project extends to floors outside the bath, our flooring division works on the same schedule.
We inspect the bath, probe for leak damage and plan layout within your real space.
Itemized by section with a realistic schedule — no obligation.
Down to sound substrate, repairs made, waterproof system installed and documented.
Tile set and finished; final walk-through before the job closes.
Yes — small vintage baths are a specialty. We use formats that suit the scale — hex mosaics, penny rounds, classic subway — and layouts that echo the home's era, over a fully modern waterproof system. You get the 1920s look with 2020s plumbing-adjacent reliability behind it.
We start by documenting and removing anything water compromised, let the structure dry, and rebuild the shower as a sealed membrane system with materials chosen for wet environments. You receive photos of the substrate and waterproofing stages for your records.
Yes. We confirm your building's work hours, elevator reservations, insurance paperwork and water-shutoff procedures in advance, and schedule the noisy phases within the allowed windows.
Our scope is the tile system — demolition, substrate, waterproofing, tile and grout. Moving drains, valves or wiring belongs to licensed plumbers and electricians; keeping fixtures in place is the simpler path, and we coordinate sequencing when other trades are involved.
Most single-bathroom projects run one to two weeks; full conversions and post-damage rebuilds can take longer. The written estimate includes the schedule we will actually work to.
