Still from the walkthrough film · Sorrento
A master bathroom in Sorrento, remodeled around daily life.
A tub the owners had no use for became a long vanity with real drawer storage, a 30-inch toilet room grew to 48, and the shower went curbless with a mitered infinity niche. Filmed and explained by Mike and the team that built it.

Walk the finished bathroom with Mike and Cameron.
Mike starts at the vanity wall where the tub used to be and the toilet room he pushed out to 48 inches, then hands over to Cameron, our tile installer, inside the curbless shower: the 2 by 4 foot tile, the mitered infinity niche, the leveling clips and the lift-out drain. Three minutes and thirty-eight seconds with the people who built it. Tap to play.
What We Did
Three problems, solved.
The homeowners had two vanities, a bathtub they had no use for and nowhere to set things down in the morning. Mike took the tub out and ran one long vanity along that wall, with drawer bases and cabinet bases below and a much longer countertop above, and left the end of the run open so natural light reaches the room.
The toilet room was 30 inches wide. Sitting down, the door hit your knee, so it had to stay open. The wall moved out to 48 inches, and the door closes now.
- Bathtub removed; one long vanity with drawer and cabinet bases in its place
- More countertop for morning prep, with the end of the run left open for natural light
- Toilet room widened from 30 inches to 48 so the door closes
- Curbless walk-in shower, pitched so it drains properly
- 2 by 4 foot matte tile on the floor, 2 by 4 foot gloss tile on the walls
- Infinity niche with mitered, epoxied edges and no metal trim
- Half wall capped in quartzite with a waterfall edge
- Towel warmer beside the shower door
Details That Matter
What Cameron points out inside the shower.
The parts of a shower you only notice when they are done wrong, explained by the tile installer himself.
01
Curbless, pitched to drain
The curb is gone, so the floor tile runs straight into the shower with nothing to step over. The shower floor is pitched at the proper angle so water goes where it should, and the hex mosaic carries a square tile-in drain that lifts out and sits right back in place.
02
An infinity niche, no metal
The niche in the back wall is built with mitered edges and finished with epoxy, so there is no metal trim breaking up the tile. The result reads more modern, and nothing interrupts the line of the wall.
03
Leveling clips, no lippage
Large-format tile is very hard to set flat without them. Clips every six to ten inches, depending on the material, keep every edge flush so there is no lippage, and the inside corners are finished in silicone.
04
Quartzite waterfall
The half wall between the shower and the room is capped in quartzite that continues down the end as a waterfall, with epoxied edges in place of visible seams. Custom work, and the miters came out clean.

“We decided to go with Posada Remodeling for our shower remodel and they did not disappoint! Not only was the price very reasonable, but they also went above and beyond to make sure our shower was repaired correctly when an unforeseen issue arose. The shower looks phenomenal.”
