OUR MISSION: To provide the highest quality of tile and grout cleaning, restoration and repair; to enable homeowners and business owners to enjoy and appreciate the beauty and functionality of their tile and grout surfaces; and to instruct proper maintenance techniques and provide the best products to keep their tile and grout beautiful. We will make you love your tile again! In 1992, we recognized the strong demand that existed for a professional service to clean, repair and restore tile and grout floors and showers. The work, at that time, was being done primarily by handymen and amateurs. There needed to be a professional who could analyze the condition of grout and tile and then determine which service, repair and products were needed to professionally restore them to their original condition. Thus, the Groutsmith was born. As the owner of The Groutsmith Brandywine, my job is both interesting and rewarding, in that my customers are happy when we arrive and even happier when we leave! The difference between before and after is just that great!
"Work performed as you wish every service would be. Inside review of details, arrived on time, work completed correctly, promptly and neatly. Followed up werk later to make sure all was satisfactory."

A straightforward professional installation takes six to eight hours, including setup and cleanup. DIY projects often stretch to 16 hours because homeowners must handle layout, cutting, and grouting on their own. Complex patterns or corrective prep work can add additional time, so always confirm the timeline with your tile contractor before work begins.
Tile professionals start with the shower floor, then move up the walls. Setting the floor first lets the wall tiles overlap the floor tile edges, creating a seamless, watertight joint and a clean visual line. Beginning at the base also establishes level reference points that keep wall rows straight and evenly spaced. Following this order minimizes cuts, speeds installation, and delivers the polished finish most homeowners expect.
The best tiles for a shower floor combine slip resistance with durability. Porcelain and ceramic tiles are popular due to their water resistance and variety of styles. Natural stone offers a unique, textured surface but may require sealing. Choose tiles with a matte finish or textured surface to prevent slipping when wet. Consult a professional tiler to determine the best option for your needs.
Yes, you need to waterproof shower walls before tiling to protect against moisture damage and mold growth. While cement backer boards used behind tiles are water-resistant, they are not entirely waterproof.
Applying a waterproof membrane or sealant over the backer board creates a barrier that prevents water penetration into the wall structure. Proper waterproofing is essential to extend the lifespan of your shower tiles and avoid costly repairs in the future.
