Signs Grout May Need to Be Replaced

Homeowners should inspect their shower periodically, paying close attention to these signs that grout might need to be replaced.

  • Discoloration: Grout can develop unsightly stains due to chemicals such as hair dye or cleaning products.

  • Cracks: Small cracks in the grout may not look very serious, but they can let water slip behind the shower tiles.

  • Mold or mildew: Mold and mildew grow easily in humid bathrooms, and it can ruin the grout.

  • Easily scratched: Grout that’s easily scratched during cleaning can be a sign that water may be passing through.

Cost Factors

The cost of regrouting a shower varies based on several factors. The amount that needs to be replaced is a major cost contributor, as it’s much less expensive to regrout around a couple of tiles than it is to do the entire shower. The type of grout can also affect the final price. Traditional cement-based grout is affordable, while the more durable epoxy material tends to be more expensive.

Get Help From a Professional

Regrouting a shower isn’t as simple as it seems at first glance. The correct amount needs to be applied between the tiles, or the finished project can look uneven. The grout needs to set before it can be wiped, but waiting too long can let it dry onto the tiles and cause damage. If the right amount of water isn’t added, the final mixture could be too thick or too runny to work properly. For best results, leave this task to a professional.
