Protect and Perfect Your Tile

Damaged grout is not only unsightly, but it also allows water to seep behind your tiles, which can lead to mold and serious water damage. LocalXR connects you with professionals who can carefully repair or replace your old grout and apply a high-quality sealant to protect it for years to come.

Grout Repair FAQs
What is the difference between repairing and re-grouting?
Repairing fills in minor cracks or missing spots. Re-grouting is the complete removal and replacement of all the grout, which is needed when the old grout is failing or heavily contaminated.
Why is my shower's caulk cracking, not the grout?
The caulk in shower corners and seams (where the wall meets the floor or tub) is meant to be flexible. If it's cracking, it's often due to natural house movement or age, and requires professional removal and replacement with new, flexible siliconized caulk.
