LEARN TO INSTALL WETWALL™ AND SAVE THOUSANDS IN LABOR.
WETWALL™
INSTALLATION
This hands-on workshop teaches the fundamentals of installing a classic subway tile backsplash from start to finish using real tools and materials. Participants will learn how to measure and plan layouts, use essential tile tools, cut tile, work around outlets and switches, properly mix and apply thinset, and complete grouting and finishing techniques for a professional-looking result.
Led by licensed contractors, this workshop combines live demonstrations with hands-on practice to help build confidence for future DIY projects.
Recommended Prerequisite: We HIGHLY recommend completing Tile & Grout Basics before attending, as foundational concepts are not reviewed during this course.
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
UNDERSTAND THE BASICS BEHIND A GREAT TILE JOB.
A professionally installed WetWall™ shower can cost $3,500–$6,500 or more in labor alone. By learning the complete installation process, you'll gain the knowledge and confidence to complete your own shower renovation while saving significantly in labor costs. Even if you choose to hire a contractor, you'll understand the proper installation methods, recognize quality workmanship, and make informed decisions that help protect your investment for years to come.
PARTICIPATION
This is an active, hands-on workshop that may include standing, bending, kneeling, lifting, and working with tools and materials. If you have any mobility concerns or may need an accommodation, please reach out before registering so we can help you prepare.
