Who actually seals their grout?

For those who say don’t seal because it seals in the moisture how do you think the moisture is getting in? Yes..if it gets in (sealing is not 100%) it will evaporate out the same route. The goal of sealing is to keep out as much water as possible, particularly on shower floors. Signed, local bath remodeler

Nice try. I don’t get callbacks on our good work. We get calls from NEW customers, 100% referrals from existing customers. We don’t advertise. Plenty of work for those who do it right the first time.

Even shoddy work and bad sealent will last a decade. Do it right, and don't seal it, and it will last decade(S) plural yo.

NP here. Sadly Nothing they make nowadays lasts a decade….from cars to appliances and yes, grout, caulking etc. I recall my parents home in Boston and how the grout in the bathrooms lasted decades. Home was built in the 1950s.

Op, I suggest you consult the manufacturer of the grout on sealing advice. Bunch of idiots here
