Regrouting Tiles
Regrouting Removes Old Grout And Replaces It With Epoxy Grout
Over the years, your shower is used everyday by all occupants in the home.
That is a lot of hours of wear and tear. With years of constant use, your shower and bathroom grout will start to get a build up of mould, and general scum.
Grout is porous and the more you clean and scrub it, you actually weaken it and this is when mould can get a foot hold within the grout. The vicious cycle is then started – the more you clean and scrub, the weaker your grout becomes.
The more the grout breaks down the more uneven it looks and it starts to pit and crack, which appears as dirty areas. This starts to further break down the grout which is the first line of defense from water leaking behind the tiles and through the waterproofing membrane.

The Steps In Regrouting
This process not only refreshes the look of your floors, walls, or countertops but also maintains the integrity and cleanliness of the tiled areas. These are the steps we follow to get our fantastic results
Step 1: Preparation and Safety First
We have all the necessary tools and materials for the job. These include: a saw or a grout removal tool, vacuum, sponge, grout float, and the new grout. Saftery gear is also needed and this includes : long sleeves, long pants, protective eyewear and gloves to shield from dust and debris.
Step 2: Cleaning The Tiles
We clean all the tiles mechanically polishing the tiles so that they come up looking like new. No soap scum is left on the tiles.
Step 3: Removing Old Grout
The old grout is carefully using the grout saw or removal tool to a deep enough depth to allow the new grout to adhere properly. The area is then vacuumed to remove all the dust and debris to prepare for the new grout.
Step 4: Mixing and Applying New Grout
Following the manufacturer’s instructions the new grout is prepared and we use the correct application device which can include spatulas and a caulking gun. The grout is applied at a 45-degree angle, ensuring it fills the gaps thoroughly. We remove excess grout from the tiles surface as we work. This makes clean up so much faster.
Step 5: Finishing Touches
After allowing the grout to set or cure as per the grout’s instructions, we then clean the tile surfaces gently. This step might need to be repeated several times to ensure no haze remains on the tiles.
