Shower Regrouting, Done Right
Cut out. Re-grout. Seal twice. Re-caulk. Shower tomorrow.
The showers we regrout across Middletown 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.
- 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.
Middletown notes
Downtown Victorians hide clawfoot-era plumbing walls behind bad 70s tile; the student rentals near Wesleyan burn through surrounds and caulk yearly. Shower floors take the worst beating in the county's hardest-used tubs. Most Middletown shower regrouts finish same-day: Middletown rental turnover drives year-round surround and shower-floor work — durable porcelain, dark grout, sealed twice. Shower again the next morning — we'll give you the exact hour.
