The short answer is ...IT DEPENDS. But most of the time, no! If we’re installing a porcelain tile or ceramic tile, the surface is usually glazed and fired, (meaning the finish is baked on). Also, the grout that Precision Floors & Decor uses is a pre-sealed grout so there is no need to strip and reseal this grout. BUT, you do still need to clean your tile regularly, clean your grout, and caulk well. We carry a cleaner called MIGHTY INDIGO that we recommend. It does a great job, and keeps your tile looking new for a long time. Regular cleaning can do wonders for your custom tile showers. After all, there is lots of heat, humidity, moisture in that small space... and then drying (when you run your fan regularly). Depending on how many people are in your household that are using the shower---you may need to have the caulk cleaned out and re-done.
When it comes to natural stone, we WOULD recommend having your tile sealed before installation because it’s porous. You may want to seal again after another 6-10 years of use (again, that depends on how many people are using the shower, and how often).
