HOME / Our Regrout Process

One Day, Six Steps

What happens between our arrival and your next shower.

Regrouting is quiet, low-dust, single-trade work — no dumpster, no demo crew, no weeks. A standard Berlin shower follows six steps in one day; whole baths add a second. You can watch any of it (the cut-out phase is weirdly satisfying), and we show depth checks before grouting so you know the old grout is actually gone.

Berlin notes

In Berlin most showers run 9-to-4 with a lunch break for cure stages: Berlin's most common call: a fiberglass surround gone yellow and chalky around a perfectly good tub — re-tile the walls, keep the tub. Whole baths add day two for floors and detail — still no overnight disruption beyond one missed shower.

  1. Assess & protect. Moisture check, tile bond check, fixtures and floors protected.
  2. Cut out. Failed grout removed to depth with dust-controlled tooling.
  3. Clean & disinfect. Joints vacuumed, treated and dried; tile wiped down.
  4. Re-grout. Fresh polymer grout packed full-depth, tooled smooth.
  5. Seal & caulk. Penetrating sealer plus full silicone renewal at every joint.
  6. Walkthrough. Inspect together, care guide in hand, shower-time confirmed.

FAQ

Common questions

Do I need to be home?
For assessment and walkthrough, yes. During the workday many customers hand over a key — one quiet technician, contained work area, locked up after.
How messy is cut-out day?
Dust-controlled cutters with vacuum at the joint plus barriers and drop cloths. Most customers are surprised how little cleanup there is.
What time do you start and finish?
Typically 9-to-4 for showers. Whole baths may run two days. You'll have the schedule in writing before we start.
What should I clear beforehand?
Shampoo shelves, bath toys, rugs and anything on the tub edge. We handle protection from there.
