The pieces that make the difference
- Tadelakt or water-resistant lime plaster in the shower
- Countertop basin in stone or glazed terracotta
- Built-in niche in the shower wall
- Brushed brass taps
The mistake to avoid
Having tadelakt applied by an untrained tiler. It is a specific craft — done badly it lets water through inside a year.
What it actually costs
Tadelakt costs more to apply than tile but removes every grout line. Keep it for the shower and tile the rest.

Is tadelakt genuinely waterproof?
