you will need a wet saw to cut the tile. Very fun to use. Also you will need spacers to go between the tiles.

Make sure the wall is prepped first, (sealed ) moisture can ruin a good tile job. and after the grout is cured (before first use) use a high quality sealant.

After a month I like to reseal the tile. (let dry two days. and then apply as per directions. ) and then at least annually. for a bit.. mold or scum on grout is a sure sign you did not seal often enough.
