This is a cosmetic restoration, not full regrouting.
Because new grout material is applied over existing grout:
• Longevity depends on original grout condition, moisture exposure, and usage
• Results may last 1–3 years and vary by shower
• This option prioritizes appearance over long-term structural renewal
(💡 For maximum durability, full regrouting is recommended.)
