While people may not care if their shower is perfectly aesthetically pleasing, a less than clean shower can herald major problems underneath with the very thing that keeps your tiles together. The grout. When do you know when you need a good show regrouting?



Knowing could be as simple as missing pieces, or it could be much less obvious, such as hiding behind discolored grout. Whenever things start looking less than fresh in your shower tiles, it's a good time to get things checked out. If you want to know in more detail, read on for seven telltale signs your shower needs regrouting ASAP!

1. Missing Grout

Sometimes, though your tile is still in place, you can have chunks of the grout missing. While some of these missing sections aren't obvious, most of the time they will stand out. When there are missing chunks of grout, it won't take long before your tile starts to loosen, so check with your tile experts!

2. Loose Tile

Tile can come loose in high-traffic areas, but it's not something that should happen every day. With loose tile, there's a high chance you can have an accident and slip. Loose tiles mean it's time to regrout your shower.

3. Mold Growth

If you see mold on your shower grout or tile, then contact your local regrouting services and schedule a shower regrouting. Mold ruins the mold, the wall behind it, and can be detrimental to your family's health. Grout is a porous material, so mold can easily settle itself deep inside the material.

4. Discolored Grout

Your grout can become discolored for several reasons. Age, poor application, dirt, or even unsafe cleaning chemicals. If your grout is starting to discolor, then it's a good idea to look into a shower regrouting.

5. Cleaning Your Grout Wrong

When cleaning your grout, your first instinct is to put some elbow grease into it and use some heavy cleaner. This might be a mistake, as grout doesn't always respond well to acid-based cleaners, and putting a lot of pressure on the grout can often backfire. These things are a common mistake, but a little research can put your grout cleaning regimen can be put back on track.

6. Your Grout Is Old

Experts agree that grout can last a homeowner about fifteen years before you need to regrout your shower. That can vary, depending on the wear and tear your tile endures or poor cleaning methods. If your grout is older than twelve years, you might want to talk to your local regrouting services.

7. Selling Your House

One of the best times to get your shower regrouting done is when you're about to sell your house. It's a great way to put your best foot forward to potential buyers. While you still want to get your shower regrouted at least once during your residence of a house, getting it done when you want to sell can get you a better price.

Shower Regrouting

Whatever the reason for your shower regrouting, the best way to know if you really need it is to contact your local regrouting services for a free estimate. Once done, your new grout will make your showering experience so much better.
