Common signs your shower may need professional restoration include:
• Cracked, loose, or missing grout
• Moldy or deteriorated silicone
• Silicone separating from the tile or shower base
• Dark or permanently discolored grout
• Open joints around corners or the shower floor
• Deteriorated silicone around shower glass
• Signs of moisture around the shower
• A shower that looks worn even though the tiles are still firmly bonded.
These problems do not always mean you need a full shower renovation. The first step is determining why the grout or silicone has failed.
Before regrouting or recaulking a shower, we first assess the existing condition to determine whether a surface repair is appropriate.
We check for loose tiles, deteriorated grout and silicone, open joints, visible moisture concerns, and other signs that may indicate a deeper problem.
When necessary, a moisture test may be recommended before work begins. This helps determine whether the shower can be restored with regrouting and new silicone or whether additional repairs should be considered.
Our shower restoration process typically includes:
1. Inspection & Assessment
We inspect the tile, grout, silicone, corners, shower base, and other critical areas to determine the appropriate repair.
2. Removal of Deteriorated Material
Old or failing silicone is removed. Damaged or deteriorated grout is removed where necessary to create a sound surface for repair.
3. Deep Cleaning & Preparation
The shower surfaces and grout joints are thoroughly cleaned and prepared before new material is applied.
4. Grout Repair or Regrouting
Damaged grout joints are repaired or regrouted as required based on the existing condition of the shower.
5. 100% Silicone Replacement
Critical changes of plane, corners, and appropriate joints are finished with 100% silicone for a flexible, water-resistant seal.
6. Final Inspection
We inspect the completed work and provide recommendations for curing time and ongoing shower maintenance.
Regrouting may be a good option when:
• The tiles are firmly bonded and in good condition
• The main problems are deteriorated grout, failed silicone, staining, or open joints
• There are no clear signs of significant water damage behind the tile
• The shower can be restored without disturbing the waterproofing system
A larger repair or full shower renovation may be necessary when:
• Tiles are loose, cracked, or moving
• There are signs of persistent moisture or water damage
• The shower base, walls, or substrate show signs of failure
• The waterproofing system is compromised, or its condition requires further investigation
• Regrouting would only hide a deeper problem rather than correct it
Our goal is not to recommend a full renovation when a professional repair can extend the life of your existing shower. When the condition allows it, regrouting and recaulking can be a practical and cost-effective way to restore the shower.

How do I know if my shower needs regrouting?
Your shower may need regrouting if the grout is cracked, loose, missing, permanently discolored, or deteriorating. We recommend inspecting the shower first to determine whether regrouting is appropriate or whether there may be a deeper moisture or waterproofing issue.
Can you regrout a shower without removing the tiles?
Yes, in many cases. If the tiles are firmly bonded and the waterproofing system is not compromised, deteriorated grout can often be repaired or replaced without removing the existing tiles.
Do you replace the silicone when regrouting a shower?
Yes, when required. Failed or deteriorated silicone is removed, and appropriate joints, corners, and changes of plane are resealed using 100% silicone.
How long should I wait before using the shower after regrouting?
Curing time depends on the grout, silicone, and conditions of the shower. We provide the recommended waiting time after the work is completed.
Can regrouting fix a leaking shower?
It depends on the cause. Regrouting can repair deteriorated surface joints, but it cannot repair a failed waterproofing system or structural problem. This is why we inspect the shower before recommending the repair.
Do you perform moisture testing before shower repairs?
When there are signs of possible moisture problems, we may recommend a moisture test before beginning the repair. This helps determine whether regrouting and recaulking are appropriate.
