No. NailIt estimates materials only. Since you're doing the work yourself, we show only the cost of supplies you'll purchase—no contractor or installation fees.
Caulk seals gaps and edges to prevent water leaks; grout fills spaces between tiles. Most repairs use both. Silicone caulk is more flexible and waterproof; grout is stiffer and best between tiles.
Small cracks can be patched with DIY repair kits (fiberglass or epoxy). Large structural cracks may require professional help. Start with a repair kit—if it fails, you've only spent $30–$80 in materials.
