Bathroom Tile, Floors and Shower Walls in Jacksonville
Shower wall tile over proper waterproofing, bathroom floors, vanities, tops, faucets, lighting and fans, for bathrooms whose layout already works.
For a bathroom whose layout works, new tile, a new vanity and new fixtures change the room without moving a single drain. It is the most common update in the 1990s and 2000s houses across Fleming Island, Oakleaf and the Southside.
Tile is only as good as what is behind it. On shower walls that means cement board or foam board with a waterproofing membrane, not greenboard or bare drywall.

Permits
Since July 1, 2026, work of $7,500 or less on a single-family house that includes no plumbing, electrical, structural, mechanical or gas work is exempt from building permits, outside flood zones. Tile and a vanity on existing hookups can fall under it. A new light circuit, a fan with new wiring, or a moved drain cannot. The building department for your address is the final word.
