Atlanta area. Just bought home. Basement has bath with toilet and sink. i roughed in shower stall, and plumbed for shower. Put in drain with membrane and shower valve. Called one tile guy and got quote of installing tile. Stall is38" square. I will use shower curtain. Will use 12" tile on walls and ceiling with 4" tile on floor. $700 for labor (he says 2 days of work) and about $750 for material... (11 boxes of 12x12 tile, 40' of bullnose, 2 boxes of thin set, 7 sheets of durock, 3 bags (80#) of mason mix, 1 box of grout). Does this seem in ballpark?
I know this is a loaded question and probably unfair to ask for thoughts, but I am just trying to get anyone's thoughts on this.
Second question is i want the tile installed with no grout joints to make it easier to clean. Any thoughts on tile butted together with no joint lines? How durable is this type installation?
Finally, should I use ceramic tile or stone? I know stone is more expensive but will it be more durable and easier to maintain?
thanks for all the feedback...
