Note: Some of the recommended fixtures don’t have perfect Amazon reviews. This is because they are often not installed correctly. We have worked with many plumbers and all of them recommend these fixtures below. See our FAQ on this issue here.

What Type of Tile Should You Look For?
There are so many shapes of tile - what's best for you?
- Collect photos of what you like – what shape tile do you see?
- Keep in mind – unusual shapes cost more for installation.
- Are small tiles better for small bathrooms? Not at all. Also, small tiles cost more to install.
- Look for porcelain tile – It’s harder!
- Find a porcelain tile that has the same color on the sides as the face. This saves on using expensive edging pieces.
