Important detail forgotten in shower planning

We have tiled our shelf. It is a stainless steel shelf into which, for example, the floor tile is simply glued. It works wonderfully. That should still be possible without any problems. But they are not exactly cheap.

Thank you all for your suggestions! There are some great ideas in there! How did the tiler do it? So, what is "under" the tiled area?

Stainless steel shelf, silicone, tile

Here is a photo. We are very satisfied with it!

The tiles look familiar to me. ;) Also been to Ensdorf? You haven't by any chance also built with Signum?

This is how it looks for us (photo still from the construction phase, so not yet grouted):

May I ask what such a niche costs? And what such tiled shelves cost?

I got the stainless steel shelf myself back then. The shelves range in price from 60 to 200€. My tile warehouse installed it for free :-)
