Is It Cheaper To Regrout Or Retile?

Retiling a bathroom is a time-consuming, expensive project. If you're on the fence about whether or not to retile your bathroom, here are some pros and cons to help make up your mind. 

Pros: Retiling will give your home an updated look that can increase its value if you plan on selling it in the near future. It also provides a more even floor surface for people with limited mobility issues such as arthritis or Parkinson's disease. 



Cons: You'll need to remove all of your furniture from the room before beginning work, which could be difficult depending on what shape it's currently in. Other downsides of retiling include spending hours working on this project without any guarantee that it will turn out how you want it to, and the fact that it's a very expensive option.

Re-grouting is more affordable than retiling as far as bathroom flooring options go. This DIY project can be done in about four hours, which makes it much faster than retiling.

Here are some pros and cons of this option:

Pros: This option is very affordable. You can even rent the equipment needed to do this job yourself at a relatively low cost and then return it when you're done!

Cons: This project isn't as aesthetically pleasing as retiling, but if that's not important to you than regrouting will save you some major money.

Armed with a better knowledge of the drastic difference in pricing, you're now faced with a choice.

If you are willing to put in the time and effort, regrouting may be an option for you. It's certainly less expensive than completely replacing your tiles. But if it sounds like too much work for this weekend project, then maybe it's time to think about re-tile.

We hope that this article has helped you determine whether or not it’s a good idea to retile your flooring.

In most cases, we recommend looking into regrouting instead of ripping out the entire floor and replacing it with new tile. This is because in most cases, the damage is confined to one area of the room, which means there will be minimal disruption to other areas as well as less cost for materials and labor.
