I have an expanded gardenia model and I think about 2,200 sq ft and our cost was 2,600. Our whole house is tile. It is pricey but he also cleans and buffs all of your tile and it looks really nice when he is finished. Hope that helps answer your questions.
Yes I think it was pricey but if I follow you, you had the tile and the grout sealed.
My question is if the tile is a ceramic or porcelain tile you only need to seal the grout not the tile that type of tile is sealed in its manufacture?

The question I have is why your grout in the shower will still turn brown when wet?

It should not when sealed.

I think several of you may get the myths v facts here about this issue.


Also if you have the inclination it is an very easy $40 DIY project.
