We meter-test first, so you pay for the cure — not guesses.
Black shower grout has two completely different causes with two completely different price tags. Surface mildew — ugly, shallow, dry wall behind — loses to regrouting or deep-clean-and-seal for hundreds. A wet wall cavity — grout regrowing black within weeks, musty smell, soft spots — needs opening and rebuilding for thousands. Bleach can't tell them apart. Our moisture meter can, in about ninety seconds, free, at every Bristol assessment.
Bristol tub walls are the textbook case: 50-year-old 4x4 tile, missing grout at the tub line, a cracked corner tile letting water behind. Shower floors in the capes are small enough to re-tile in a day. Bristol's capes have the smallest shower floors in the footprint — a one-day re-tile that transforms the whole bath. Bring us the black grout and the smell; we bring the meter and the truth — including when the truth costs less than you feared.
