Shower Floor Tile & Grout
What survives bare feet, shampoo and twenty years of mornings.
These are the six floor systems we install across New Britain, with honest notes on grip, cleaning and cost. The tile matters less than the assembly beneath it — but the right tile on the right slope with the right grout is a floor you never think about again, which is the entire point.
New Britain notes
New Britain baths work the hardest: rental tubs with painted-over tile, missing grout, cracked floors at the toilet base. Landlords need fast, durable, cheap-to-maintain — porcelain, epoxy grout, sealed caulk lines. Our default New Britain floor: porcelain 2x2 in a mid-tone gray with epoxy grout — grippy, forgiving, and still handsome in a decade. New Britain landlords are the highest-volume tile customers in the footprint: surround re-tiles and regrouts between tenants, priced to repeat.
- Porcelain 2x2 mosaic — the workhorse: grippy, cheap, slope-perfect.
- Penny rounds — vintage charm, endless grout grip, moderate upkeep.
- Pebble sheets — spa texture; needs expert grout packing (that's us).
- Small-format porcelain — modern rectangles that still turn the slope.
- Textured stone-look — single-tile elegance with rated slip resistance.
- Epoxy grout — the non-negotiable: stain-proof, waterproof joints.

Common questions
Yes — we'll verify slip rating, size suitability and quantity. Labor warranty stands; material warranty stays with your supplier.
Glazed porcelain 2x2 in a mid-tone: grippy grout grid, slope-perfect sheets, forgiving color, modest price. Our default recommendation for New Britain floors.
They need proper grout packing — the failure mode is recessed grout trapping grime. Our pebble floors get full joints and epoxy grout, then clean normally.
Only if it's small or has real slip resistance — large polished wall tile on floors is a fall risk and won't follow slope. We'll find its grippy sibling.
