Tile Regrouting Cost: Per Square Foot in 2026
Estimate tile regrouting cost per square foot — with the free tile calculator.
Dirty, cracked grout makes a good tile floor look bad — and lets water behind the tile. Regrouting restores it without replacing anything. Here's the real 2026 cost.
THE SHORT ANSWER
The short answer
Tile regrouting runs $8–$16 per sq ft in 2026 (range $5–$28). Floors run $5–$11 per sq ft; showers $10–$25. Small jobs run $350–$800. Regrouting an 80 sq ft shower averages $1,320.
What it costs
Regrouting runs $8–$16 per sq ft typical. Floor tile runs $5–$11 per sq ft; shower walls $10–$25 because of vertical work and detail. A small bathroom runs $350–$800. Replacing cracked tile during regrout adds $5–$15 per tile.

Regrout vs retile
Regrouting costs a fraction of retiling and takes a day. Retile only if tiles are cracked, the base is failing or you want a new look. Epoxy grout costs more upfront but lasts 2-3× longer than cement grout and resists stains.
