Shower Tile Repairs Before You Sell

Hey Tom,

Now the mold and mildew that you are probably thinking of is on the caulking (the areas where the tile walls meet and where the walls meet the floor.)  The grout is inbetween the tiles and that can usually be scrubbed and sealed. The Caulk DOES need to be removed and replaced with new caulk.  In the cases above we used white silicone caulk.

Now we do run into a couple areas where me might remove a small spot (one grout line) and replace it with new grout, but the majority of the tile and grout come clean.  The color sealer that is applied on the grout will make the grout uniform in color.  So any STAINS that may not come out will be covered with the color sealer making the grout all uniform and looking brand new.  

You can also try and find any professionals in your area to come out and give you an estimate too.  There should be a Professional Tile and Grout Company in your area. 

Let me know if you need any help finding a professional or if you have any more questions if you try and do it yourself.

Hi Kevin,

It really depends on what the going rate is in your area but typically showers can run from $250 to $750. What is usually included is the entire shower: walls, floor, caulking around the shower frame removed and replaced and each grout line color -sealed and any grout repairs needed.  If you were to Re-Tile a shower it would cost about $1,500 and up. (depending on size, design, etc.) So you do save a lot by going the cleaning & sealing route. Plus it saves time as well - you can have an open house the very next day or even later that afternoon!  

Each shower is different and the amount of work varies for each shower. So, there is no standard shower when it comes to this type of work.   If there is less work then the price goes down, but if there is a lot of work then the price can go up higher. Plus we have to factor in if the shower tile is a stone or ceramic/porcelain.  So, there is a lot that we have to factor in.  

Our company goes out and gives free estimates since we cannot determine the price over the phone. I'm sure companies in your area will do the same thing.  But if you do have questions after you do receive an estimate please do not hesitate to contact me.

Hope this helps!

Hey Tom,

We use caulk where the tile walls and the floor meet. It gives it more flexibility than grout. The rest of the grout we clean and color seal.  There should be professionals in your area that can come out and do it for you.  It is really worth it and makes your shower look like brand new without spending thousands (thats usually what it costs to retile a shower). Good luck!
