    I've watched your video 7 times before starting the project, excellent instructions. Appreciate your video because I had no clue of how to repair my shower tiles. I am a woman and without your help I would have ruined it.

    THANK YOU for giving us permission to not have to remove all the old grout and also to use a spackling tool rather than a grouting float!!! (I have just started removing grout on project using oscillating tool and Dremel tool).

      @ if you don’t mind me asking how much did this job price around? You can give a range if you don’t want to be specific. Fairly small shower. Was this based on linear feet or per hour? How long did this take to finish?

    Great vid! What if there are broken tiles and tiles with drill holes/wall anchors that we are no longer using. Would we grout over the holes and cracks in the tiles?…Or try to figure out how to replace those tiles?

    I am glad I ran into this video. For an occasional D I Y person, doing the wall in two parts and using a spatula rather than a float looks much easier.

    Nice video! How do you color match the new grout perfectly, or is all shower grout the same color? Also I heard sometimes there’s caulking to do where tiles meet another surface, what’s the process for color matching the caulking or is this not very common
