        "text": "Adding a custom tiled bench to a shower remodel typically involves extra framing, waterproofing, tile labor, and a solid-surface top. The cost varies based on whether it is a simple corner seat, a full floating bench, or an expansive wall-to-wall design. Factors that influence total expense include the choice of surface material—such as matching porcelain tile versus a single slab of quartz or granite—and the additional waterproofing membranes required to fully seal the seat and prevent moisture intrusion behind adjacent walls.",
