Add installation to this itemLabour is quoted against your actual room rather than priced per square foot here. Ticking this asks us to include it in a written quote — it does not add a charge to the cart.

How much you need depends on the room, and what it costs to fit depends on what is behind the wall. Build the list here and send it for a quote — we check the amounts against the room and price the materials and the work together.

About this material

A prefabricated niche gives a square, waterproof-ready recess without building one from board and hoping the corners stay true.

Position matters more than size. A niche should align with a horizontal grout line and sit between studs, which usually means deciding its location during framing rather than during tiling.
