Let’s face it – showers face a lot of wear and tear, including exposure to hot water, soaps and shampoos as well as sometimes harsh cleaning chemicals. After a while, mineral deposits can build up as well, making the shower look tired and needing some help. In this situation, shower wall tile regrouting can make a world of difference, usually in only one day.
This project was from a homeowner in Newton. The family had a shower where the wall grout had become cracked in some areas and was discolored in places. Of course, they always had the option of tearing out the shower, remodeling the entire room. Then they would have a shower that was brand new. Except that option has some drawbacks…… Like dust all over, weeks without a shower, tradesmen traipsing through their house for what seems like eternity and thousands and thousands of dollars!
Shower wall tile regrouting, on the other hand, is a one day project, costs much less, and leaves your house clean and neat. And the results? Check the before and after photos below to see for yourself.
It’s important to note that this is not just a ‘cleaning’ of the grout. It’s an actual physical replacement, taking out the old grout and applying fresh grout.
For unsanded, smooth grout, we use different hand tools to remove the grout, including razor blades, carbon steel scoring knives and sometimes power tools with diamond tipped blades for tough areas. Removing enough of the old grout is important for creating a channel for new grout.
We always do a deep cleaning of the tiles when regrouting. That way, the new grout next to clean tiles looks like a brand new installation, minus all the dust and aggravation of a remodeling project!
