Bathroom Tile Installation in Hollywood, FL

Bathroom tile installation in Hollywood, FL starts with checking what sits under the old tile, not just picking a new color.

The Tile Looks Good. What Is Under It Matters More.

Loose shower tiles, cracked bathroom floors, and stained grout can make a bathroom hard to keep clean. JDS Home Remodeling Hollywood helps homeowners replace old tile and install new surfaces around showers, bathtubs, vanities, and bathroom floors.

Our Hollywood location serves homes near Driftwood, Boulevard Heights, Hollywood Hills, West Hollywood, and Emerald Hills. We also serve nearby areas such as Pembroke Pines, Davie, Dania Beach, and Miramar.

Have photos of the tile you want to change? Tell us where the tile is, what is wrong with it, and what finish you want.

New tile can hide an old problem if the surface is not checked first.

Before installing bathroom tile, we review the area where the work will take place. A shower wall needs a different setup than the floor beside a vanity. A tub surround also needs different planning than a dry wall away from water.

We look for signs such as:

  • Loose or hollow-sounding tile
  • Cracked or missing grout
  • Soft or damaged wall surfaces
  • Water stains near a tub or shower
  • Uneven floor areas
  • Old tile that needs removal
  • Poor transitions at doors and fixtures

These signs do not always mean the same problem. Some areas need tile replacement. Others need more preparation before new tile can be installed.

Start With Your Tile Area

Bathroom Tile Services

Choose the Bathroom Area You Want to Tile

Choose the bathroom area that needs new tile. Each surface has a different scope.

Shower Walls

Give an existing shower a new look with wall tile that fits the space. We can review old wall materials, tile size, fixture openings, corner details, and the planned waterproofing system.

Bathroom Floors

Replace worn floor tile with a surface that suits daily bathroom use. Layout, floor condition, tile finish, and door transitions all matter.

Bathtub Surrounds

Finish the walls around a bathtub with new tile. This can be done as a focused project when the existing tub will stay.

Vanity Backsplashes

Add tile behind a sink or vanity to help protect the wall from daily splashes and complete the vanity area.

Tile Replacement

Remove and replace damaged or outdated bathroom tile. We review the surface before deciding whether a small repair or a larger tile project makes sense.

Condo Bathroom Tile

Update bathroom floor or wall tile in a Hollywood condo. Floor work in some upper-level units has added permit and sound-control requirements.

Shower Wall Tile That Is Built for Daily Water Use

A shower can look new on the outside and still have problems behind the wall. Tile and grout are not a full waterproof barrier. Shower tile work must be planned with the right backing and waterproofing system for the space. For a shower wall tile project, the scope may include:

We also look at where the walls meet the shower floor, the corners, and the shower fixtures. These areas need careful planning because they get wet during normal use. If you need a whole new shower, including the base, drain, and fixtures, see our Shower Installation in Hollywood service.

Replacing Bathroom Floor Tile in Hollywood Homes and Condos

Bathroom floors are small spaces with many cuts. Tile may need to fit around a toilet, vanity, bathtub, shower entry, and door.

We plan the floor layout around the room rather than just starting tile at one wall.

Before installation, we may review:

Porcelain and ceramic tile are two common options. The right choice depends on where the tile will go, its finish, and how the space will be used.

For condo owners, we also recommend checking building rules before choosing floor tile or underlayment.

Bathroom Tile in Hollywood Condominiums: What Owners Should Check

Bathroom floor tile in a condo may need more planning than tile in a single-family home.

Hollywood has a Flooring / Sound Barrier Checklist for certain condo units and similar homes where new flooring will be installed above another residence or a public or service area.

Depending on the project, you may need:

The city checklist lists minimum sound ratings of STC 50 and IIC 50 for applicable floor assemblies. Ground-floor condo units are treated differently under this specific flooring checklist. Other bathroom work may still need permit review. Before booking bathroom floor tile work, ask your building manager about renovation hours, elevator access, material delivery, debris removal, and association approval.

Keep the Bathtub. Replace the Tile Around It.

You do not always need a new bathtub to improve the area around it.

If the tub is staying in place, a new tile surround can give the walls a different look. This is useful when old wall tile no longer matches the bathroom or damaged material needs to be removed.

The work may involve tile removal, wall preparation, tile installation, and edge details where the new finish meets the bathtub.

If the bathtub itself needs to be changed, we can direct you to our Bathtub Replacement in Hollywood service instead.

Loose Tile, Cracked Grout, or a Soft Wall?

These signs deserve a closer look before new tile is placed over the area.

A loose tile may point to a problem with the bond below it. A soft wall may mean water has reached the material behind the finish. Cracked grout alone does not always tell you how much work is needed.

The next step depends on what we find:

If an active leak is found, its source must be fixed before the affected area is closed.

Bathroom Tile and Moisture in South Florida

Hollywood has warm, humid weather and a rainy season. Inside a bathroom, though, the main source of daily moisture is often the shower or bathtub itself.

A bathroom tile project should account for both the wet area and the room around it.

Pay attention to:

For homes with past leaks or storm-related water damage, the cause and condition of affected materials should be checked before new tile is installed.

A home’s flood zone is a separate issue. Not every Hollywood home is in a high-risk flood area, and bathroom tile alone does not make a home flood-safe.

Hollywood Bathroom Tile Permits and Local Records

The City of Hollywood has a bathroom remodeling checklist for projects that replace parts of an existing permitted bathroom. The type of work matters. A focused wall tile update may have different requirements from a project that replaces a shower floor, changes plumbing, or removes walls. If the job includes replacing shower floor tile as part of a shower remodel, the city checklist calls for shower pan details. Other plumbing or building work may also need permits. Hollywood uses the Accela Citizen Access portal for new permit applications. Property owners can use city permit resources to review permit records and learn what documents may be needed. Before work starts, we recommend checking the exact scope with the City of Hollywood Building Division. Condo association rules may also apply.
