If you’ve ever found yourself scrubbing mildew from tile grout or endlessly fighting soap scum in your shower, we get it—you’re not alone. Most homeowners love the look of tile, but hate what comes with it: cleaning, sealing, and patching year after year.
Now imagine this: no more grout. No more mold. Just smooth, seamless walls that are easy to clean and built to last. That’s the promise of epoxy shower walls, and it’s why more people—especially here in Ontario—are choosing epoxy over traditional materials.
At Luxury Engineered Epoxy, we’ve been installing epoxy showers that look like luxury spas but clean like a dream. And every time, our clients say the same thing: “Why didn’t I do this sooner?”
What Are Epoxy Shower Walls?
Let’s keep it simple. Epoxy is a type of resin that, when mixed and applied properly, cures into a rock-hard, totally waterproof surface. Think of it like liquid stone. It’s applied directly to your shower walls and then sealed with a protective coat.
But what makes it special is this: no seams, no joints, and no grout lines. That means water has nowhere to sneak in, and mold has nowhere to grow.
You’re not stuck with just plain grey, either. We customize each wall by hand with colors, swirls, textures, or marble effects—whatever vibe you’re going for.
Why Homeowners Love Epoxy Walls
Here’s what makes epoxy shower walls a game-changer:
1. Completely Seamless & Waterproof
No tiles. No grout. No worries. We apply epoxy from corner to corner and wrap it around niches or built-in benches. It’s one solid surface—no gaps for water to sneak through.
2. Say Goodbye to Mold and Mildew
Epoxy is non-porous, which means water and bacteria can’t soak in. That makes your shower cleaner, healthier, and a lot easier to maintain. Just wipe it down with a cloth—no more bleach and scrub brushes.
3. Your Design, Your Way
Want a warm white marble look? Or something bold and dramatic? We can do that.
Popular choices include:
-
Metallic swirls that shimmer
-
Polished concrete effects
-
Sleek matte finishes
-
Bold colors and even custom embedded accents
One Toronto client asked for a copper-toned finish with subtle black veining—it looked like something out of a boutique hotel.
4. Incredibly Easy to Clean
Let’s be honest: cleaning a tile shower is a chore. With epoxy, it’s just a quick wipe. No grout means no scrubbing. No resealing. No weird stains that come back two weeks later.
5. Built to Handle Real Life
Epoxy isn’t just pretty—it’s tough. When we topcoat it with polyaspartic or urethane, it can handle daily showers, steam, hot water, and regular cleaning without losing its finish.
How We Install Epoxy Shower Walls
People are always surprised how fast we can transform a shower. Here’s what the process looks like:
Step 1: Prep the Surface
We inspect the walls (cement board is perfect) and smooth out any joints or gaps. Then we sand, clean, and prime the surface so the epoxy sticks properly.
Step 2: Add Moisture Protection
If it’s an older home or a wet zone, we add a moisture barrier for good measure. Better safe than sorry.
Step 3: Apply the Epoxy Base
This is where the magic starts. We mix and spread the base layer, then shape the texture by hand. It cures overnight.
Step 4: Add Design Details (Optional)
Want swirls, layers, or depth? We add a second layer with the visual effects.
Step 5: Seal It Tight
We finish with a tough clear topcoat that protects the surface from wear, UV rays, and yellowing.
The entire process usually takes 1–2 days, start to finish—faster than most tile jobs.
Common Questions We Hear
Is it slippery? Not at all. We use non-slip resins and matte finishes made specifically for showers.
Can you install over old tile? Yes, as long as it’s stable and properly cleaned. We’ll let you know after a quick inspection.
What does it cost? It’s often similar to a high-end tile install—but lasts longer and is way easier to maintain.
Will it crack or fade? Not if it’s installed right. We use industrial-strength topcoats to protect against fading, yellowing, and cracks.
Things to Know Before You Commit
-
We’ll need good ventilation during install, so we recommend cracking a window if possible.
-
If you want a really custom design, we’ll do a sample board first so you can approve the look.
-
And while DIY epoxy kits exist, we don’t recommend them for showers—vertical epoxy work takes experience.
Final Thoughts
If you’re ready for a low-maintenance, high-style bathroom that feels like a spa and performs like a fortress, epoxy shower walls might just be your dream upgrade.
They’re seamless, stunning, and smarter than traditional tile. And best of all? No more hours wasted cleaning grout.
