Here is the exact sequence, with timing, so you can plan your day around us instead of wondering. Morning is removal and prep; afternoon is grout and detail; evening is cure. Your next shower happens the following morning.
- Assess & protect. Moisture check, tile bond check, fixtures and floors protected.
- Cut out. Failed grout removed to depth with dust-controlled tooling.
- Clean & disinfect. Joints vacuumed, treated and dried; tile wiped down.
- Re-grout. Fresh polymer grout packed full-depth, tooled smooth.
- Seal & caulk. Penetrating sealer plus full silicone renewal at every joint.
- Walkthrough. Inspect together, care guide in hand, shower-time confirmed.
The Southington one-day sequence
Six ways Southington joints get renewed, from clean-and-seal to full epoxy.
Southington notes
In Southington most showers run 9-to-4 with a lunch break for cure stages: Southington's 90s primary showers are failing in waves — loose floor tile and musty grout that no cleaner fixes. Re-tile the floor, save the walls. Whole baths add day two for floors and detail — still no overnight disruption beyond one missed shower.
Common questions
Dust-controlled cutters with vacuum at the joint plus barriers and drop cloths. Most customers are surprised how little cleanup there is.
Typically 9-to-4 for showers. Whole baths may run two days. You'll have the schedule in writing before we start.
Shampoo shelves, bath toys, rugs and anything on the tub edge. We handle protection from there.
Next morning for standard grout. We'll confirm the hour at walkthrough based on cure and your fan situation.
