Tile Repair & Regrouting in San Antonio
Cracked and hollow tile replaced, failed grout removed and regrouted, shower caulk renewed and loose tile reset before water gets behind it.
How much does tile repair or regrouting cost in San Antonio?
Small tile repairs in San Antonio start around $300, replacing a handful of cracked or hollow tiles, and regrouting a full shower typically runs $400 to $900 depending on size and whether the caulk and niche are redone. We quote flat after photos so there are no surprises.
Fix It Before It Becomes a Rebuild
A cracked tile, a hollow spot or grout that has crumbled out of a shower corner is a small job today and a wall rebuild next year once water gets behind the tile. We replace individual cracked, chipped or hollow tiles, matching the tile where we can and sourcing the closest match when the original is discontinued; remove failed grout and regrout showers, floors and backsplashes; and cut out old caulk at tubs, corners and counters and replace it with color-matched silicone.
We also reset tile that has lifted, repair grout at cracked slab control joints, reseal natural stone and grout, and diagnose the underlying cause when a repair keeps coming back, because a tile that cracks twice in the same place is telling you something about the floor beneath it.

- ✓Caulk removal and color-matched silicone
- ✓Loose or lifted tile reset
- ✓Stone and grout cleaning and resealing
Why the Grout Failed Matters More Than the Grout
Grout cracks at corners because there should have been caulk. Tile cracks in a line because the slab moved. We look for the cause so the repair holds.
- Hollow-sounding tile checked for bond failure
- Cracks traced to slab joints or movement
- Corner and curb joints converted from grout to silicone
- Shower pans tested when grout failure is at the floor
- Honest advice when a repair will not hold and a rebuild is smarter

Prep First, Then the Pretty Part
Level, Flat, Square
We prep the substrate first: self-leveling over slab dips, backer board or foam board on walls, and layout lines before a single tile is set.
Waterproofing That Lasts
Showers get a proper waterproofing system (sheet membrane or liquid-applied) and a pre-slope, not just cement board and hope.
Clean Cuts & Straight Grout
Wet-saw cuts, consistent joints, leveling clips on large-format tile and grout matched to the design.
Written Quote First
Materials, labor, demo and haul-away itemized before we start, so the number does not move once the old tile is out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Often, and when the tile is discontinued we source the closest match or suggest taking a tile from a hidden spot, such as under a vanity, to use in the visible repair.
Most shower regrouts are one day, with the shower back in use after 24 to 72 hours depending on the grout and sealer.
Corners and curb joints move; grout does not. Those joints should be silicone. We remove the grout there and caulk them, which stops the cracking.
It means the tile is not bonded. Hollow tiles crack under load and let water through the grout, so it is worth fixing early.
Yes, we do repairs across Greater San Antonio, including Schertz, Helotes, Boerne, New Braunfels, Stone Oak and Alamo Heights.
