Locals call it the Village. If you have wandered the bookshops on Harris Avenue or grabbed a coffee near the Colophon, you know Fairhaven has its own character, and a lot of older homes and small storefronts to match. On the tile side that means re-tiling vintage hex and subway bathrooms, period-look tile in the homes near the waterfront, and durable entry and restroom tile for the shops.
These older Fairhaven bathrooms were usually tiled before modern waterproofing existed, so when a shower leaks it is because there is no real barrier behind the tile. We honor the period look while putting proper waterproofing behind the new work, and we set floors over an uncoupling membrane so the salt-air damp and a little settling do not crack the grout.
How much does tile installation cost in Fairhaven?
Tile work in Fairhaven follows our Bellingham pricing: shower and tub surrounds run $2,800 to $9,500, bathroom floors $1,400 to $4,500, backsplashes $900 to $3,200, and floor tile $9 to $22 per square foot installed. Every shower includes waterproofing and every floor an uncoupling membrane, which is what makes tile last in our wet climate. We quote your job line by line.
Can you re-tile an older Fairhaven bathroom and keep the period look?
Yes. Fairhaven has a lot of vintage hex and subway bathrooms worth keeping the character of, and we set period-appropriate tile that still gets modern waterproofing behind it. So your shower looks right for the home and does not leak into the framing. We also do entry and restroom tile for the storefronts along Harris Avenue.
