We get lots of calls to regrout tile and stone showers. That is to say, we end up regrouting LOTS of showers, including this beautifully designed slate shower.
One reason it’s a popular service is simple – it works!
Even though it’s usually only a one day project, it can have a very dramatic effect on the whole look of the room. In fact, it can make the shower look ‘like new’ without having to go through the dust and delay of remodeling.
In addition, regrouting and caulk replacement is a very logical way to keep the grout and caulking in a good state of repair. Also, it may help reduce unnecessary leaking and water damage, even though that isn’t a guarantee.
In December we got a request from a condo owner in Boston for cleaning and regrouting his slate shower. The shower was very solid, with a beautifully installed slate tile with strong color variations. He wanted the stone professionally cleaned because a film of old sealers and hard water deposits was interfering with the look of the wall.

We did a heavy duty cleaning of the stone, scraped out the old grouting, removed the old caulking and replaced the grout and caulk with a colored version that complemented the stone. Then we sealed the stone with a stone color enhancing sealer that works well with slate. Right after our job, the tub was scheduled to be refinished, so in order to coordinate with the refinishers, we waited until the they were done to caulk the line where the tub meets the stone. That saved them a trip back. The ‘after’ picture above was taken before the final caulking. The homeowner was pleased with his ‘new’ regrouted slate shower!
