When grout looks tired, people often assume the whole bathroom needs re-tiling. In many cases it does not — and the difference in cost and disruption is large.
What a full re-tile really involves
Replacing tiles is a major job:
- Stripping out the old tiles (and the mess and dust that comes with it)
- Re-doing the Water Resistant, which is licensed work
- Buying and laying new tiles
- Several days with the bathroom out of action
- A bill that usually runs into the thousands
What regrouting involves
Regrouting keeps your existing tiles. We remove the old, failing grout and replace it — and for wet areas, upgrade it to Water Resistant epoxy.
- Your tiles stay in place
- Usually completed in a single day
- A small fraction of the cost of re-tiling
- Far less mess and disruption
When you genuinely need a re-tile
If tiles are cracked, lifting off the wall, or the Water Resistant underneath has failed, then re-tiling may be the right call. But if your tiles are sound and only the grout has worn out, regrouting solves the problem and saves you a great deal of money.
Our regrouting service starts at $650, with clear fixed pricing for each option so you know exactly what you are paying before any work begins.
