How To Regrout Shower Tile

Regrouting a shower tile can be an intimidating task, but it doesn’t have to be. With the right tools and knowledge, you can make sure your shower tile looks as good as new in no time. This guide will walk you through the process of regrouting your shower tile, from gathering the right supplies to the actual process of regrouting.

Gathering the Supplies

Before you begin, you’ll need to make sure you have all the necessary supplies. These include:

• Grout removal tool
• Grout sealant
• Grout
• Grout float
• Sponge
• Bucket
• Mild cleaner

Once you have all of your supplies, you’re ready to begin.

Removing the Old Grout

The first step in regrouting your shower tile is to remove the old grout. To do this, use a grout removal tool to chip away the old grout. Be sure to wear safety goggles and a dust mask to protect yourself from the debris. Once all of the old grout has been removed, use a mild cleaner and a sponge to clean the area. Then, use a dry cloth to remove any excess moisture.

Applying the New Grout

Once the area is clean, you can begin applying the new grout. Start by mixing the grout according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Then, use a grout float to apply the grout over the tiles. Be sure to work in small sections and only apply as much grout as you can work in before it starts to dry. Once the grout has been applied, use a damp sponge to remove any excess grout.

Applying the Grout Sealant

Once the grout has had time to dry, you can apply the grout sealant. This will help prevent moisture from seeping into the grout and causing it to deteriorate. Apply the sealant according to the manufacturer’s instructions and be sure to cover the entire area. Once the sealant has dried, your shower tile should be as good as new.
