When Good Regrouts Go Bad!

What’s a couple of loose tile, right?

This was a job a while back where I should have know better. I had sent a crew out there to regrout this shower but I hadn’t done a thorough inspection and there were loose tiles. In some places it was just grout holding the tiles in place.

They just kept peeling off and dropping like flies. 70% of the main wall was totally wet.

We ended up charging him for removing the tile and trashing it so it wasn’t a complete waste…

This is why I love hate doing regrouts. There are alot more variables, it’s a dirty/dusty job, you make less money than floors BUT there are no shortage of homes out there with nasty, dirty, mildewed showers that love to respond to all my ads…. the saga continues.
