Leander Tile is a tile and remodeling contractor serving Lago Vista, TX. Homeowners here typically come to us looking to upgrade showers, outdoor patios, and backsplashes. Most of the homes we work on here are one- and two-story properties in communities like the Lago Vista Golf Course neighborhood and Point Venture.
The most requested features are inset soap dishes, built-in benches, and disability-accessible showers — practical upgrades that make daily use easier without sacrificing design. We bring the same premium waterproofing and precision tile work to every Lago Vista project.
We install tile across all surfaces — showers, floors, stairs, patios, and backsplashes. For wet-area work, a shower remodel covers the full scope: design, waterproofing, tile, and coordinated finishes. A tub surround is a simpler upgrade that refreshes the walls around an existing tub without a full remodel. Waterproofing is the structural system built into either project; we use cement-based systems rather than plastic or polystyrene alternatives. Accessibility upgrades — built-in benches, grab-bar blocking, barrier-free entries — are planned into the scope before tile work begins, not added later. Glass doors are a finishing component we coordinate after the tile is complete.

Custom Shower vs Tub Surround
The right choice depends on how much of the bathroom you want to change.
- A tub surround upgrades the walls around an existing tub with fresh tile.
- A custom shower remodel is a more complete shower transformation with design, waterproofing, tile work, and coordinated features like glass doors.
- Many tub surrounds finish in 2 to 3 days. Standard showers usually take 5 to 7 days, and custom showers can take 7 to 10 days.
- Pricing ranges: $1,200 – $5,500 for tub surrounds, $3,000 – $8,000 for a standard shower remodel, and $6,000 – $12,000+ for a custom walk-in shower.
Cement-Based Waterproofing vs Cheaper Alternatives
Waterproofing is one of the most important parts of any shower remodel.
- Leander Tile uses cement-based waterproofing systems instead of plastic or polystyrene systems.
- Cement-based systems are more durable, provide better moisture protection, and are the professional standard.
- Every installation follows manufacturer specifications.
- Waterproofing installations are backed by a 5-year warranty.
Accessibility Options
Accessibility features can be built into the shower during planning instead of treated as afterthoughts.
- Built-in benches add seating and make daily use easier.
- Built-in niches create recessed storage for shampoo and soap.
- Grab-bar blocking can be installed behind the tile during the remodel so grab bars can be added later without opening the wall.
- Barrier-free entries are part of the disability-accessible shower options available on request.
