One unit of every priced item, which is a floor rather than an estimate — a real room needs more than one box of tile.

Why it was specified this way

A curbless entry is decided long before the tile arrives. The floor has to be recessed and re-sloped to a linear drain set flush with the finished surface, and the whole wet area has to be waterproofed as one continuous system rather than a set of separate products hoping to co-operate.

Large-format porcelain keeps the grout joints sparse, which is what makes the room read as calm. It also demands a flat substrate — lippage that would disappear on a small mosaic is obvious across a 1200mm tile, so the levelling work is where the time goes.

  • Two large-format porcelain slabs with matt stone-look surfaces leaning against a plaster wall, the front one lit and the one behind in shadow

    Shower walls and floor

    Large format keeps joints sparse, so the eye reads the stone rather than the grid.

    $8.99per sq ft

  • A roll of orange fleece-laminated waterproofing membrane part-unrolled across a concrete floor, with a coil of corner banding beside it

    Behind the tile

    Bonded to the substrate as one continuous system, with banded corners and seams.

    $89per roll

  • A cement-coated pre-sloped shower pan seen from above, its facets falling to a rectangular drain opening at one end, foam core visible at the cut edge

    Under the shower floor

    Factory slope removes the guesswork of forming a fall by hand.

    $249each

  • A brushed stainless linear shower drain on a concrete floor with its slotted grate lifted clear of the channel body

    Shower floor

    Set flush with the finished tile so the floor stays uninterrupted.

    $329each

  • A prefabricated cement-coated shower niche standing upright, its recess divided by a single shelf and its mounting flange visible

    Shower walls

    $129each

  • A sack of large-format tile mortar with a notched trowel and combed mortar ridges

    Under the tile

    $42per bag

  • A sack of high-performance grout in a warm grey shade beside a bronze grout float

    Joints

    $34per bag

  • Three brushed bronze square-edge tile profiles fanned across dark concrete, their L cross-sections and mitred ends visible

    External edges

    $49per length
