Shower Regrouting, Done Right

Cut out. Re-grout. Seal twice. Re-caulk. Shower tomorrow.

A shower regrout is surgery, not cleaning: oscillating blades remove the failed grout without touching the tile, joints get vacuumed and disinfected, fresh polymer-modified grout is packed full-depth, and after cure everything is sealed — then every corner and fixture gets new silicone. Done right, a Berlin shower regrout lasts a decade plus. Done wrong (grout smeared over old grout), it fails in a year. We do it right, in one day, and show you depth checks as we go.

Berlin notes

Kensington's older baths still run the original 4x4 wall tile over plaster, usually with a failing caulk line at the tub. The ranch baths are fiberglass tubs with surround panels yellowed at the seams — the classic re-tile trigger. Most Berlin shower regrouts finish same-day: Berlin's most common call: a fiberglass surround gone yellow and chalky around a perfectly good tub — re-tile the walls, keep the tub. Shower again the next morning — we'll give you the exact hour.

  • Full-depth removal. Old grout cut to 2/3 joint depth minimum — never skimmed over.
  • Tile-safe tooling. Oscillating blades + vacuum; glazed and stone tile unharmed.
  • Polymer grout. Flexible, dense, mold-resistant joints packed full.
  • Double seal. Penetrating sealer, cured, then sealed again.
  • Full re-caulk. Corners, tub/pan lines, fixtures — fresh 100% silicone.
  • Depth checks shown. We prove removal depth before grouting. Ask to see.

FAQ

Common questions

How deep do you cut the old grout?
Minimum two-thirds joint depth, full depth where damage runs deep — verified visually before new grout goes in. Skim-coating old grout fails within a year; we don't do it.
Is it dusty or messy?
Remarkably clean: dust-controlled cutters, vacuum at the joint, drop cloths throughout. Quieter than a hair dryer for most of the day.
Sanded or unsanded grout?
Joints over 1/8 inch get sanded polymer; hairlines and polished stone get unsanded. We match to your tile, not to our inventory.
Some tiles sound hollow — problem?
Possibly. A few hollow accent tiles can be re-bedded during regrouting; widespread hollowness means bond failure and needs re-tiling. We map it free and show you.
