    Another video I found from you to help me repair something as a first time home owner with a builder who didn't care about building me a quality home! Thank you! Headed to Ace now to pick up my supplies and get this project started!
    My builder installed a ledge in our master shower and decided it would be the best idea to ensure the tile install allowed water to pool nicely, now the tile is cracked on the top of the ledge and water was certainly getting behind the tile. It's been a week since we used the shower so I hope it's all dried out, I think only 4 showers were taken since the large crack formed and my wife finally listened to me and stopped using the shower so it could dry out. Good luck me! hah

    I knew I would find something in your arxhives on how to do this! We jusy brought a house with a tile shower, so there's a few places that need a little help. One question: we have this sort of shelf thing for soap, also made of tile that is attached in the corner in the shower. There is a visible gap on ome side where the graut chipped or wasn't put in correctly. How so I fix that so it doesn't eventually fall off the wall?

    I've heard that you can't apply grout on top of old grout. can't prevent that from happening if you are regrouting only a small area. But now I see you did it. I guess it is alright. And do you have to apply sealant? Or are you using eproxy grout?

    Hi, Leah, hope you are good! Leah, I am working on our shower floor tile, the grout is a little lower than the top of the tile, the grout is not flush with the face of the tile and I am scrapping the grout down a bit, in order to regrout it. My question to you is, how much of the grout do I need to remove? By the way, the tiles are spaced approximately, 1/8+" from each other. What do you think about epoxy grout for this and will it stick to the grout already in place?? Thank you, Luis
