[quote=Anonymous]My shower is leaking again after we paid to remove and replace the grout.  This was about 8 months ago. The grout appears to be cracked in the same place again.  I know next to nothing about these things and my husband possibly knows less.  I have done some cursory research that suggests that grout isn't really waterproof and that the water proof layer is behind the tile.  Is that the case and if so, could a poor waterproofing layer be the source of the problem?  We don't really want to retile in there.  We would prefer a temporary solution as we intend to remodel the bathroom in a few years as part of a larger project.  In the meantime, we just need it to function.  My thought is to maybe use an epoxy paint to make sure it is waterproof.  Who would I call to do that?  A tile installer?  We had a plumber diagnose the problem and the grout repaired by the Grout Medic.  Will not be calling the Grout Medic again.  I would be grateful for any suggestions for dealing with the problem and recommendations for someone to do the work.  I'm in Arlington.[/quote]
