225-445-1075 Ask for Aaron.

It's been a few years since I've dealt with them so all I have is a name and number. Think the company is Custom Flooring and Tile. They're located in Denham. They do good work.

You could also post your request on John bridge tile forums (just google it) in the professional hangout section. Ask for quotes on a kerdi shower or similar (hydroban/redguard). If they can do a Kerdi shower they can do any shower.

I have heard that it isn't that hard to do, but I am worried about the floor and drainage. Is that very difficult?

No way in hell should your first DIY tile job be a custom shower.

It depends on how you go about the shower pan. If you go and spend the money on a kerdi shower pan made out of styrofoam then you'll be out about $200+. If you go with a custom mud pan it will cost you about $15. I did a custom mud pan using portland cement and sand. It didn't turn out the way I wanted but it works fine. It's the first one I've done and I would have done several things different if I ever do it again.

I agree. Niches, hanging tiles vertically, grouting vertical surfaces, creating a shower curb... All these things are fairly difficult even for a seasoned tile layer.

And of course the shower pan can be a PITA.

Fool proof for pans, curbs, niches, seats, and waterproofing. It is an expensive system and amateur tile work will likely leave something to be desired. LINK
