Tadelakt Shower/Bath Kit: How to Apply Tadelakt Step by Step
Step into a bathroom that feels handmade, seamless and effortlessly luxurious. Tadelakt, the legendary Moroccan plaster, turns any shower or entire bath into a sanctuary of health, beauty, and pure tactile pleasure. Gone are the cold joints and sterile finishes of tiles. Welcome to a world where natural lime breathes, reflects soft light, and stays stunning for years.
Why Choose a Tadelakt Shower/Bath Kit? The Ultimate Upgrade
When it's time to renovate your bathroom, there’s more at stake than just looks. Tiles, plastic paints, or microcement coatings may trap allergies, release VOCs (volatile organic compounds), and even microplastics. Worse yet, they often fall short in elegance, comfort, and true longevity.
Enter Tadelakt—an ancient, fully natural fine lime plaster. It’s:
- Healthy: Zero microplastics, VOC-free, and naturally mold-resistant.
- Waterproof & Seamless: Perfect for showers and wet zones, with no joints or grout lines.
- Timelessly Luxurious: Unique smooth, silk-like finish adored in the world’s finest spas and boutique hotels.
- Durable: Proved to last centuries—actually gets more beautiful with time.
- Low Maintenance: Simple, chemical-free cleaning, and very hard to stain.
- Eco-Friendly: 100% mineral, highly sustainable, ideal for bioconstruction.

Tadelakt for Showers, Entire Bathrooms, and More
Imagine how dramatically your bathroom could shift—from basic tile grids to a sanctuary drenched in history, sensuality, and atmosphere. Tadelakt turns any wall, floor, or shower into a continuous, stone-like surface that plays with light and touch. It’s equally stunning for:
- The main bathroom or powder room
- Showers trays, floors and wet zones
- Luxury living or bedroom feature walls
- Custom sinks, niches, or furniture surfaces

Your project might start with bare cement, old paint, or existing tiles. Fortunately, there’s a Tadelakt Kit for every situation—including special primer bases so you can even apply directly over tiles, no demolition needed. Here’s what a full kit includes:
