Remove failed caulk and grout and replace it with fresh, properly matched material to stop leaks and mildew.
Caulk and grout are the weak points in any shower, and they are meant to be. They are the flexible, sacrificial parts that take movement and keep water out. Over time, caulk shrinks, peels and grows mildew, and grout cracks or crumbles. When they fail, water gets behind the tile and into the wall. Replacing them is one of the most cost-effective things you can do for a tired shower. In Nashville, where humidity encourages mildew, a fresh set of corners and joints can make a shower look and perform like new, provided the old material is removed fully first.
We cut out failed caulk completely, scrape the joint clean and let it dry. Where grout is cracked or missing, we remove it to the proper depth and clean the joint. We use caulk made for wet areas and color-matched to your grout, and we tool it smooth so water runs off. Where grout is the right choice, we mix, pack and clean it carefully. We explain which joints should be caulk, such as corners and where the tub meets the wall, and which should be grout.
Fresh caulk over old caulk fails quickly, so we remove the old material and clean the joint.
Corners and changes of plane need flexible caulk, while flat tile joints need grout. We use each where it belongs.
Joints must be dry for new caulk to bond, and we plan the visit so moisture is not trapped.
We choose colors that suit your tile and grout so repairs look intentional.
