Fixing cracks in shower tile grout

kbuchholtz · #1 Feb 8, 2008, 04:42 PM

I have some small cracks in a few (no more than 3-4) spots in the tile of my shower. It's an area where water will hit when showering quite frequently. Is it possible to patch these cracks or do I have to rip out all the grout and re-grout?

We're going to redo the whole bathroom within the year or so, so I'm looking for a reliable fix for the short term so I don't get into ripping out grout and then re-doing the whole bathroom again soon.

Thank you.

if the crack is in the grout use a grout caulk , it will have laytex in it which will expand and contract
