Shower Tile Calculator
Work out how much tile your shower needs, and the typical installed cost.
Estimates use typical installed prices and standard measurements. They are not a quote. An in-home consultation sets your exact price.
Where new showers go in
- Half-bath to full-bath upgrades — the highest-value conversion in a one-bath house
- Basement bathrooms — increasingly common in Tulsa's newer south-side builds with finished basements
- Primary suite additions and garage/bonus room conversions
- As part of tub-to-shower conversions and full shower replacements
What a complete installation covers
Supply plumbing and a pressure-balanced or thermostatic valve; drain placement (including jackhammering slab where needed — standard in Oklahoma slab homes); a waterproofed base or custom pan; wall system in acrylic or tile; glass, lighting-safe placement and ventilation.
New installs are also the cheapest moment to add the touches that cost real money later: a bench, a niche, a handheld on a slide bar, blocking in the walls for future grab bars.
Shower size guidelines
| Size | What it means |
|---|---|
| 30" × 30" | Code minimum (900 sq in interior) |
| 36" × 36" | Comfortable for most adults |
| 60" × 30–32" | Former tub footprint; room for a seat |
| 60" × 36"+ | Spacious walk-in; good for accessibility |
Planning tile
For tiled showers, the calculator above works out wall and floor area, the tile to buy with waste for your pattern, and the waterproofing membrane needed. Larger tiles mean fewer grout lines on walls; small mosaics on the floor follow the slope to the drain and grip better underfoot.
