Is $13,000 to replace a walk-in shower due to failed grout a fair price?
Project Details
I own a condo I bought 4.5 years ago. I just found out there is an issue with the shower that was remodeled just before I bought it. There is water seepage that is leaking to the unit below me. I'm just astounded that it costs that much just for the shower. Any help/advice/info anyone can provide would be very much appreciated. I'm looking for anything I should be on the look for when talking to contractors. I used to do HVAC, but plumbing and tiles were never in my wheelhouse.

Remodel a bathroom
This quote is for a full bathroom remodel. The work included tile installation and grouting. However, issues have been identified with the grout, which is running out and has cavities. Additionally, the tile work exhibits inconsistent grout lines (some over, some under 1/8 inch). There was also a delay of over a week between grout completion and the installation of the shower head and knob.
