Built layer by layer
Layout. Prep.What we do
Every project starts below the surface. The substrate, layout, and movement details get the same attention as the tile you see.

Custom shower installations, including large-format tile, with careful layout, clean transitions, niches, benches, and curb details.

Replace your bathtub with a custom tiled walk-in shower, including tub removal, disposal, preparation, and waterproofing.

Foam-board, mud-float, shower-pan, and surface-preparation work built around the system—not shortcuts.

Well-planned tile floors with careful surface preparation, balanced cuts, and clean transitions.

Custom tile feature walls, backsplashes, and fireplace surrounds, with careful layouts for curves, corners, and focal points.

Seamless wet-area walls and floors built as a complete microcement system over a properly prepared and waterproofed substrate.
Floor and feature-wall rates cover installation labor on prepared surfaces; tile and additional preparation are quoted separately. Conversion pricing assumes a straightforward project with minimal plumbing changes; major drain moves, hidden-damage repairs, premium tile, fixtures, and shower glass are quoted separately. Final pricing depends on project size, materials, existing conditions, and design. Your written quote confirms the scope and inclusions.
Expanding the craft
Venetian-inspired plaster, lime-based textures, polished mineral finishes, and microcement wet areas are part of the Reap Surfaceworks offering.
The same eye for flatness, movement, transitions, and hand-finished detail carries naturally from tile into seamless wall and fireplace surfaces. Decorative plaster and microcement showers are available for select projects.

CoverageSet for support—not just appearance.
LayoutPlan focal points, cuts, and transitions first.
MovementRespect changes of plane and the building underneath.
The process
No mystery handoffs. Each phase is discussed before the work moves forward.
Review dimensions, substrate, access, tile selection, and the details that can change the scope.
Set expectations for prep, layout, materials, sequence, schedule, and what is included.
Protect the space, correct the surface, dry-plan the layout, and install with consistent coverage.
Walk the completed work, check transitions and details, and leave the space clean.
Owner-installed
“The layout gets decided before the thinset gets mixed.”
Reap Surfaceworks is built around direct, detail-driven craftsmanship across tile, plaster, and microcement.
The goal is simple: understand the conditions, tell you what the job actually needs, and execute the details cleanly. That matters most on demanding showers, handmade tile, large-format surfaces, and remodels where the existing structure is rarely perfect. Decorative plaster and microcement bring that same surface-first discipline to seamless feature walls, fireplaces, and showers.
Start a project
Photos, dimensions, tile selection, and the current condition of the space make the first conversation much more useful.
Good to know
Yes. Wet-area systems, surface correction, mud work, foam-board systems, and preparation can be included when the project requires them.
Yes. Tile can be supplied by the homeowner or builder. The material is reviewed before installation for size variation, warpage, shade range, and special handling.
A typical shower build takes about one week.
Yes. Decorative plaster is available for select fireplaces, feature walls, and interior surfaces. Finish samples and a substrate review are part of defining the final system.
Microcement in a shower is treated as a complete wet-area system—not simply a decorative skim coat. Substrate preparation, waterproofing, reinforcement, base coats, finish coats, and sealer must all be compatible.
Photos of the full space, rough dimensions, the project location, tile photos or links, and a short note about the current substrate are the best starting point.
