Shower Regrouting, Done Right
Cut out. Re-grout. Seal twice. Re-caulk. Shower tomorrow.
The showers we regrout across Farmington share one trait: tile worth saving. Subway, mosaic, stone — if it's flat, bonded and backed by a dry wall, new grout makes it look installed last month. This page covers the process, the one-day timeline, what we check before quoting, and the honest cases where we recommend rebuilding instead of regrouting.
Farmington notes
The Farmington pattern: a 1980s fiberglass shower pan gone dull and flexy next to dated brass trim. Shower-floor and pan re-tiles outnumber full redos here, and buyers notice new shower floors first. Most Farmington shower regrouts finish same-day: Farmington sellers refresh the shower floor and re-grout the walls before listing — it reads as a renovated bath in photos for a fifth of the price. Shower again the next morning — we'll give you the exact hour.
- Full-depth removal. Old grout cut to 2/3 joint depth minimum — never skimmed over.
- Tile-safe tooling. Oscillating blades + vacuum; glazed and stone tile unharmed.
- Polymer grout. Flexible, dense, mold-resistant joints packed full.
- Double seal. Penetrating sealer, cured, then sealed again.
- Full re-caulk. Corners, tub/pan lines, fixtures — fresh 100% silicone.
- Depth checks shown. We prove removal depth before grouting. Ask to see.

Common questions
Possibly. A few hollow accent tiles can be re-bedded during regrouting; widespread hollowness means bond failure and needs re-tiling. We map it free and show you.
For standard showers, yes: cut-out morning, grout afternoon, cure evening. Large natural-stone showers sometimes take two. You'll know at the quote.
Absolutely — tub walls regrout beautifully, and the tub-to-tile joint gets fresh silicone as part of every job.
Minimum two-thirds joint depth, full depth where damage runs deep — verified visually before new grout goes in. Skim-coating old grout fails within a year; we don't do it.
