One business. Two sides of the craft.
The British Remodeler brings together the practical work of improving a home and the creative work of making something individual. On one side: tile installations, showers, bathroom remodeling, floors, and backsplashes. On the other: Lion & Crown Mosaics, the specialist artwork side of the business, creating custom mosaic and glass artwork. You can come to us for either. You don’t need to commission artwork to have a floor installed, and you don’t need to remodel a room to discuss a mosaic. But when a project calls for both, those conversations happen together.
Useful first. Individual by choice.
A bathroom has a job to do. So does a kitchen floor, a backsplash, or a shower. Before discussing statement pieces or finishing touches, we want to understand how you use the space, what isn’t working, and what you want to change. Perhaps you need a simpler layout. Perhaps the existing tile has had its day. Perhaps you like most of the room and want one thing changed. That’s a worthwhile project too. The goal isn’t to turn every inquiry into the biggest possible renovation. It’s to agree on work that makes sense for the space and the way you use it.
The person doing the work matters.
I’m a self-employed tile contractor and business owner based in Colorado Springs. My work spans tile installation and bathroom remodeling, as well as custom mosaic and glass artwork. I enjoy the contrast between them. There’s satisfaction in a carefully planned tile layout and a clean, understated finish. There’s also a different satisfaction in working on a piece that starts from a drawing or a color idea. That’s the connection behind The British Remodeler and Lion & Crown: hands-on work, attention to detail, and an eye for the unusual. My approach is straightforward. Talk through the idea. Look at the practical requirements. Be clear about the scope, and keep the conversation honest.
What matters in the work
The preparation—not just the photograph.
A finished surface is only part of an installation. The condition underneath it, the preparation required, and the way it will age are just as important. Those details belong in the project discussion, even when they won’t appear in the finished photos.
A layout that feels considered.
Where a pattern begins, how cuts meet an edge, and how one surface transitions into another can change the feel of a room. We aim to make those decisions deliberately, rather than treat them as whatever happens at the end.
A clear scope.
“Remodel the bathroom” can mean very different things to different people. Before moving forward, we’ll work through what’s included, what’s staying, and which decisions still need to be made. That way, you know what you’re agreeing to—and what’s still open.
Design that belongs to you.
You don’t have to like bold colors or intricate patterns to work with us. Quiet, simple spaces deserve care too. The right result is the one that suits your home and your taste, not the one that looks most impressive in a photograph.
Lion & Crown Mosaics
For the ideas that don’t come in a box.
Some projects start with a drawing. Others start with a color, a memory, a material, or a vague idea. Lion & Crown is where we explore those ideas through custom mosaic and glass work. That might mean a standalone piece of artwork, a decorative panel, a distinctive backsplash, or a feature that gives the room its identity. You don’t need to arrive with a finished design. Bring what you have, and we can discuss the setting, the scale, and the feeling you want the finished piece to carry. The point is to create something with a reason to be there—not simply fill an empty space.
Straightforward conversations from the start.
You should be able to ask questions without feeling you need to know the trade first. Tell us if you’re unsure about a material. Tell us if you have a firm spending limit. Tell us which part of the project matters most—and which parts you’re happy to keep simple. In return, our aim is to make the proposed work understandable:
- What are we changing?
- What preparation is needed?
- Which materials and design choices are still open?
- What does the price include?
- What needs to be confirmed before scheduling?
Not every answer will be available from a photograph. When something needs a closer look, we’ll say so.
Based in Colorado Springs.
The British Remodeler is based in Colorado Springs and welcomes inquiries for local tile and remodeling projects. Include your location when you contact us so we can confirm whether your project falls within our working area. For custom artwork, tell us where the finished piece will go and whether you’re looking for a standalone work or part of a room.
See whether we’re the right fit.
The best place to start is with the work itself. Look through the project gallery. Notice the layouts, materials, finishing details, and artistic pieces. Your project doesn’t need to look like something we’ve already made. The gallery is a starting point for the conversation.
Tell us what you have in mind.
A new shower. A better bathroom. A floor that finally suits the room. A mosaic with a story behind it. Send a few photos and a short description of what you’re planning. We’ll start with the idea and work from there.
