How we approach regrouting & tile repair on site
Grout that fails in one line is telling you something. It is usually movement rather than bad grout, and regrouting without addressing it means doing the same job again next year.
Sounding the floor finds the hollow tiles. A tile that sounds hollow has lost its bond and will crack eventually whatever is done to the grout around it.
Grout color never matches perfectly against grout that has aged in place. We test and show you before committing, because a slightly wrong color across a whole floor looks worse than the failed joint did.
Sometimes the answer is that a repair is not worth it. A floor with widespread hollow tiles needs replacing, and patching it repeatedly costs more over five years than doing it once.

FAQ
Regrouting & Tile Repair, asked and answered
Can a tile floor or shower be regrouted instead of retiled?
Yes, when the tile is sound and only the grout has failed — cracked, crumbling, stained beyond cleaning, or missing. The old grout is ground out to a depth, the joints are cleaned, and new grout is packed and sealed. It makes an old floor look new for a fraction of retiling. If tiles are loose or the substrate is failing, regrouting is a cosmetic fix over a real problem, and we say so.
Can a single cracked tile be replaced?
Yes, if a matching tile can be found — which is why keeping a box of spares from any tile job is worth doing. The cracked tile is cut out, the substrate cleaned and checked, a new tile set and grouted. If the crack was caused by movement in the floor, the new tile will crack too, and that is the question answered first.
