Why tile & grout repair costs what it does in North County Inland San Diego

What moves the price on tile & grout repair
- Matching: sourcing a discontinued tile to match is the hardest part of the job
- Location: shower and wet-area tile needs waterproofing behind it, not just grout
- Grout vs tile: a full regrout is labor; replacing set tile means careful removal
- Substrate: cracked tile over a failing backer board is a rebuild, not a patch
- Sealing: color-matched caulk at changes of plane and a fresh grout seal
