Not sure why your shower needs to be regrouted, there are much less costly options and sone DIY options.
Our grout was not originally sealed, I did the sealing myself with a product that was supposed to be good for "20 years". Well that did not work, so after several years I came across "Grout Shield" this is a paint like product, and comes as a complete kit, cleaner, tools, and colored sealant. We chose to keep the same color as the original grout, and they match it so close that I actually missed a few areas, which I found the next time I mopped the floor. I just touched of the missed area. I think we are going on 5 years and ground looks very good, but does still need an occasional cleaning in the heavy traffic areas. Lowes sells similar Mapie products, but I have never used these. My point, I did the entire tiled area of our house (no bedrooms or closets these were carpeted), and both bathrooms and the shower, took around 2 weeks 3 or 3 hours every other day, and probably save hundreds to a couple of thousand dollars. The kit was $60. Now if your grout is actually cracked and falling out, then the above is not a good solution, however my stepson who has done tile installation indicated grout removal and replacement is a time consuming and dirty project. I hope this helps, feel free to send a PM if you would like to discuss further.

Do yourself a favor and get rid of the tile. The grout problems will never end. Check out JettaStone or Central Florida Bath. Looks great and you're through from then on.

I had mine re grouted in 2018 by The Grout Specialist 352-735-5218. Call for an estimate. The lady pulled out all the old and re grouted. $185.00 at the time. The grout is still in good condition. She spent the time (about 3 hours on-site) and did it right. Yes I could have done it myself but the original guy did not do it right and he was a tile guy.

Glad you had a good experience. When All about Grout did our grout project, they used the wrong color, so it did not match with the grout that was not being replaced. I asked the owner why they did it this way and his response was, "that was the only color I had with me".
When he was out doing the bid, he should have observed what color of grout to bring for this job. NOT HAPPY... |
