Granite Shower Surrounds and Benches

Large granite slabs for shower walls, benches, niches and curbs with a seam plan that keeps the look clean and the water out.

Granite shower walls turn a bathroom into a spa. Large slabs mean far fewer grout lines than tile, which makes cleaning simpler and the look quieter. A bench, niche and curb in the same stone complete the room. In Nashville, where many homes have older tile showers that have cracked, stained or gone out of style, a slab surround is a way to reimagine the space.

Showers are wet, so the details matter. The substrate must be waterproofed correctly before the stone goes on, seams must be placed and sealed thoughtfully and the stone itself needs a proper sealer. Heavy slabs also need careful handling and support, especially for benches and shelves. We coordinate with your waterproofing and plumbing professionals so the stone goes on a base that will last. We also talk through lighting, glass doors and fixtures before fabrication, because a large stone wall shows every reflection, and a few small decisions early make the finished shower feel calm instead of busy.

Waterproofing first

The wall behind the stone must be properly waterproofed. We coordinate with your tile or waterproofing professional and confirm it before installation.

Seam layout

Slab shower walls need a plan for seams, corners and niches so veining flows and joints stay minimal.

Benches and niches

Stone benches, shelves and niches are cut to fit, supported properly and finished with polished edges.

Sealing and care

Sealing is essential in a shower. We explain cleaning and reseal intervals so the stone stays beautiful.
