Share pictures of niches in showers

[Rob Z]

Hi everyone,

One of the guys at John Bridge Forum just posted a picture of a niche that he tiled, and it gave me a good idea to use on my next job. I was thinking that we could share some photos of niches and maybe someone will get something that they can use on their job. Here are two to get us started. The first is a ready-made niche sold by Noble Company. The second niche is one that we built in place because of the dimensions of the shower plumbing wall and the amount of stuff that the customer wanted to be able to store.

I've some really nice work by you guys in the UK on this forum, and would enjoy seeing photos of tiled-in niches.

Dave,

That looks pretty cool...is that a splash behind a range? Did the deco tiles come as a set?

A "niche" is a recessed alcove for storing shampoo, soap, can of beer, etc, in the shower.

Oh crap yeah I have one of those to tile in nicely with 15mm limestone very very soon. Ill take some pics guys I swear...

Yeah that was an alcove over an aga, very posh house, very posh client.
Tiles were handmade... Thers over £800 there and there was only that one wall!

Nice work fellas! I always encourage a niche in my showers, they don't always accept, the lazy mugs think it's one more place to have to keep clean. And they take showers?:joker:

Not a shower Niche but I installed two. The first in the wife's dressing room. The second in the main bathroom. I didnt bother in the shower due to concerns of water settlement and space.

Im all "niched out" !
