Dirty, cracked or moldy grout can make an otherwise good shower look old. In this San Francisco bathroom, our team regrouted the shower tile, re-caulked the sink and countertop, and freshly painted the walls, without tearing out a single tile.
What we did
- Shower regrout: old, stained grout removed from the tile joints and fresh grout packed into every line on the walls and floor.
- Caulking: the sink and countertop re-caulked for a clean, watertight seal.
- Painting: bathroom walls repainted with clean, crisp edges.

Regrout vs. retile: why regrouting saves money
If your tiles are still solid and only the grout is dirty, cracked or discolored, regrouting can make the shower look new for a fraction of the cost and time of retiling. Fresh grout and caulk also help keep water out of the joints and seams, which protects the wall behind the tile. If tiles are loose or there are signs of water damage behind them, we will tell you honestly and quote the repair.

Signs your shower needs regrouting or new caulk
- Grout that stays dark or stained even after cleaning
- Cracks, gaps or crumbling grout between tiles
- Mold or mildew along corners, the floor or the tub line
- Peeling or yellowed caulk around the sink, countertop or tub
