Shower Tile Calculator

Enter shower size, niche and tile size to see how much tile, thinset, grout and waterproofing you need, with waste included.

These tools give planning-level estimates from typical values and the details you enter. They are not quotes or engineering or safety advice, and results depend on your actual shower, its age and condition, products and local rules. Only a visit can confirm what a shower needs, and we give you a written estimate before any work begins.

How it works

Four quick steps.

  1. 01

    Pick a starting shower

    Each shower type loads typical sizes and a tile size.

  2. 02

    Enter your sizes

    Width, depth and wall height in inches, plus walls and niches.

  3. 03

    Choose tile and waste

    Wall tile size, floor mosaic and a waste allowance.

  4. 04

    Read the list

    See tile, mortar, grout and waterproofing quantities.

Tips

  • Measure the shower itself, and subtract nothing for niches. We add them back.
  • Order tile from one dye lot and keep spare pieces for repairs.
  • Waterproofing is needed behind the tile in every shower.
Questions

About this tool.

Is this exact?

No. Tile makers publish exact coverage for mortar, grout and membranes, and cuts depend on the layout.

How much waste should I allow?

Ten percent for a straight lay, fifteen for diagonal or pattern and twenty for herringbone or stone.

Does it include the ceiling?

Only if you tick it. Many showers keep the ceiling painted.
