Why traditional methods fail

The traditional way is harder than it looks.

Most DIY shower leaks aren't from bad tile work — they're from what's underneath it. Here's where things go wrong before you've laid a single tile.

Mud bed installation failure
Mud bed method

One improperly pitched floor is all it takes.

Floating a mud bed requires mixing mortar to the right consistency and pitching the floor at exactly 1/4" per foot toward the drain — a skill that takes professional tile setters years to develop. Get the pitch wrong and water pools under your tile.

Puzzle-piece kit method

Every seam is a potential leak point.

Foam shower kit systems rely on multiple pieces fitting together perfectly — and staying that way. Every joint between pieces is a seam. Every seam is a gap water can find. And once water gets under tile, the damage is done long before you notice it.

Tile Redi replaces both with a single, pre-engineered answer.

Your 5-step process

From first question to finished shower.

Here's exactly what working with Tile Redi looks like — from choosing your pan to stepping into your first shower.

Find out if Tile Redi is right for your project

Most DIY shower leaks start before the first tile is ever laid — and most people don't realize a leakproof pan can be set in 30 minutes or less.

  • Water doesn't care how careful you were with your tile work — it finds the weakest point in whatever is underneath
  • Tile Redi's one-piece, pre-pitched shower pan is engineered to keep water where it belongs from the moment it's installed
  • Most homeowners set a Tile Redi pan in 30 minutes or less — no mortar mixing, no cure time, no waiting before you can start tiling
  • No complicated subfloor prep method to master, no seams to worry about — just a system that's already built to work

Size it up · Find your fit
More configurations than any other manufacturer

No matter your layout, Tile Redi has a pan built for it.

  • We offer more standard sizes than any other shower pan manufacturer — single curb, double curb, triple curb, and barrier-free options
  • Multiple drain locations available so you're not redesigning your plumbing to fit the pan
  • Need something outside the standard range? Our US-based team can build a custom pan to your exact dimensions

Complete it · Build the system
One order. A fully bonded, leak-proof system.

A pan alone isn't a waterproofing system. Here's everything else that completes it.

  • Add Redi Wall boards — our waterproof wall panels integrate directly with the pan for a fully bonded system
  • Include seam tape and flashing to seal every transition point between the floor and wall
  • Because there's no mortar bed to mix or cure, your system is ready to tile the same day — no waiting, no scheduling around dry time
  • Bundle your full system in one order — no sourcing compatible products from three different manufacturers
