Backsplashes, showers, and fireplaces
Wall tile sits right at eye level, so every cut and grout line gets noticed. Madison Floor & Bath installs wall tile across Tonawanda, NY for kitchen backsplashes, tile showers, tub surrounds, and fireplace surrounds. Backsplashes and fireplace tile are two projects our customers bring up often in reviews.
Michelle helps customers narrow the options, from classic subway to mosaic, large-format, and natural stone, so the finished wall fits the cabinets, countertops, and fixtures around it. You can see more of our work in the flooring inspiration gallery.

Where wall tile changes a room
A good wall tile is one of the most affordable ways to make a room feel custom, and it protects the wall behind it too.
- Kitchen backsplashes - easy to clean and a strong design feature
- Shower and tub surrounds - a lasting, waterproof surface when built correctly
- Fireplace surrounds - ceramic or stone for a focal point
- Powder rooms - a bold look in a small space
- Laundry and mudroom walls - protection from splashes and dirt

How we install wall tile
We check the wall first. A wavy or out-of-plumb wall shows through the tile, so surfaces are corrected where needed. Then we plan the layout so cuts land in balanced places, such as centered behind a range or even at the corners.
Wet areas need a proper waterproofing system behind the tile, and niches and corners get special attention. If you are tying wall tile into a larger bathroom or kitchen project, our team can handle countertops, cabinets, and the floor as well. Matching floor tile? See porcelain tile.
