Repair tile floor in shower?

Coboll | Posted in Construction Techniques on

We remodeled our bathroom 11 years ago and now the shower floor shows signs of mold and deterioration.  What is the best way to repair or replace it?

    Clean it.  There are at least a dozen different tile cleaners to choose from at your local Big Box.

    Re "deterioration", what specifically do you mean?

    A good cleaning will get rid of the mold. If the grout lines are really dirty pick up a grout saw at the home center, clean them as deep as you can then install new grout. If the corners have cracks showing clean them out and seal with a non-silicone tub and tile caulk.
