Custom Shower Parts
Shower Benches
, Thresholds, Niches & Curbs
Benches, seats, thresholds, niches, curbs, and jambs. We make each piece to your measurements, and they can match your countertop. Fabricated by Granite Guy in Southborough, serving MetroWest and Greater Boston since 1995.
Visit & Select
Come pick your material at the Southborough showroom. Bring the tile you're matching, or a photo of the countertop.
We Handle Everything
Give us the measurements, and we lay out your cuts on a digital version of your slab. You see the layout and pattern flow before we fabricate anything, and nothing moves forward until you sign off. Every part for the job is on that layout, so nothing gets missed.
Enjoy Your New Shower
Once you've approved everything, fabrication moves forward and your pieces are typically ready within 5 to 10 business days, depending on size and complexity.
Thresholds
The piece at the bathroom door, where the tile meets the next floor. Same slab as the rest, so the whole bathroom ties together.
Shower Curbs
The top of the step you walk over into the shower. Your tile setter builds the step and sets your curb on it with a slight pitch so water drains back in.
Door Jambs
Finishes the shower opening in slab rather than tile edges, and gives the glass enclosure something solid to mount to.
Shower Niches
Usually four to six pieces: a top, a bottom, two sides, and a shelf or two in between. Every one is a different size. A corner shelf is the simpler alternative, pie shaped, about eight or nine inches.
Wall Caps
The top of a half wall, when the shower isn't fully enclosed. Usually paired with a shorter jamb where the glass lands.
Bench and Seat Tops
Usually 16 to 18 inches tall and 12 to 16 deep. A corner seat is the smaller version, floated into the tile instead of built up.
One Team, One Facility, Start to Finish
Showroom, slab warehouse, and fabrication shop, all in one building and run by one team.
A Shop Built for Precision
CNC, waterjet, and digital templating, the right tool for every cut. That's how your parts come out accurate.
Hand-Pick the Exact Slab You'll Get
Walk our indoor warehouse and choose the actual slab for your shower parts, in steady light any month of the year.
Just updating one shower?
Come in anytime, no appointment needed. A threshold or a shelf often comes off a slab already on our floor.
In the middle of a bathroom remodel?
Order early. Send us the measurements once the curb and the niche are framed, so the parts are ready when your tile setter is, not after.
Custom build with more than one bathroom?
Designers and builders pick material early and we hold it until the site is ready. Showers rarely finish at the same time, so parts go out as each one comes up.
Your measurements
Whatever your tile setter gave you, or a few phone photos of the shower. Widths and lengths are what we work from.
Whatever you're matching to
The shower tile, a photo of the vanity top, a paint chip. These are what we'll hold the slab against.
How you'll use it
A bench somebody sits on every day, or a corner shelf for shampoo? This changes which material we'd point you to.
Do you install shower parts, or just fabricate them?
We fabricate them. Your tile setter sets them, since they go in with the tile work.
How wide should a shower curb be?
Most curbs run about 6 1/2 inches, jambs about 6, and a door threshold closer to 4 1/2. Those cover most jobs, which is why stock sizes exist. But framing, tile thickness, and how the shower was built all change the size.
How long can a shower jamb be?
Jambs are the long pieces. In a house with 8-foot ceilings they usually run 82 to 85 inches, and 10-foot ceilings change that. Stock tends to stop near 6 feet, because shorter pieces ship and handle without breaking. We cut yours to the height you have.
Can you make the jambs thinner?
When the material allows, yes. Your jambs come off the same slab as your countertop, and that's often thicker than customers want on a shower part. Some prefer a slimmer look, and sometimes the glass was already ordered to a size that won't take the full thickness.
How deep should a shower bench be?
Usually 12 to 16 inches, and 14 is the most common. Deeper is more comfortable, shallower gives the shower back some room.
How tall should a shower bench be?
Usually 16 to 18 inches.
Can I do a floating bench?
Yes, but it has to be planned from the start. The supports go in the wall before the tile does, so make that decision with your contractor early.
Do shower curbs and benches sit level?
No, and they shouldn't. Your tile setter sets them with a slight pitch so water runs back into the shower. Level looks right and drains wrong.
Who takes the measurements?
Your tile setter measures. Email it over or bring it by, with the sizes and which edges get finished. We like to go over the details with you.
Can my shower parts match my countertop?
Yes, and they should. Bought separately, the colors may not match. Order everything together and it all comes off the same slab.
How do I know my shower parts will match what I picked?
Every job gets a digital layout before we fabricate, no matter the material. You see a digital image of your actual slab, laid out piece by piece with any seams marked, and if there's veining, we adjust until the pattern flows. Nothing moves to fabrication until you approve it.
Would I save money using a remnant?
Often, yes. Remnants are what's left from bigger jobs, and some of them are rare finds. A threshold rarely needs a whole slab, so it's worth a look.
Do you serve my town?
Mostly MetroWest and Greater Boston, but we go all over Massachusetts, and we're willing to travel anywhere in New England for the right job.
