Even a well built shower may eventually need some attention to grout and caulking. This job in Amesbury Massachusetts included regrouting wall tile and also regrouting the shower floor. Shower floors can be problematic to regrout, since they often have much harder sanded grout. That’s difficult to remove and the smaller size tiles mean lots of grout lines. There can be problems with slow drying grout due to moisture beneath the floor tiles.
Regrouting wall tile is much more common, since shower walls usually have much softer unsanded grout. That’s the type we can typically remove and completely replace. Still, we can often regrout shower floors, even if we have to use extra efforts and some power tools to grind out the old grout.
In this case, the homeowner decided that regrouting wall tile was not enough, so we replaced the grout on both floor and walls.
Most jobs where we are regrouting wall tile only can be done in one day. Sometimes including the floor can mean we need to come back a second day. That’s what was needed for this job – we just ran out of hours on day one.
We carefully scraped out enough old grout to form a solid channel for new grout. Then we scraped out old caulking in the corners and edges, followed by a thorough cleaning of floor and walls. Then we add fresh grout and caulking. In many cases, it looks like a brand new shower!
