Shower Regrouting Perth

Shower base regrouting starts from $350 + GST and a full shower regrout of walls and floor starts from $550 + GST. Every price includes labour, premium materials and our 4 year workmanship warranty.

Quotes are fixed before work begins, with no call-out fees and no hidden charges. Larger areas such as balconies, kitchen floors and driveways are quoted individually.

A standard service takes anywhere from 2 to 4 hours on a shower, depending on the condition of the shower or bath and how difficult the existing grout is to remove.

Other areas such as balconies, driveways and kitchen floors can take anywhere from half a day up to 3 days depending on size.

Grout is porous and has a shorter working life than the tiles around it. When it breaks down, the tiles themselves are usually still perfectly sound, so replacing them solves a problem you do not have.

Regrouting removes the failed grout, reseals the substrate and restores the waterproofing at a small fraction of the cost of a renovation — in hours rather than weeks, and without losing the use of your bathroom.

We offer two grout options:

• Epoxy grout (our recommended choice) — 100% waterproof, mould-resistant and highly durable, making it the best long-term solution for preventing leaks and reducing maintenance.
• Standard flexible grout (budget-friendly option) — a high-quality flexible grout that provides a strong seal when paired with our penetrating sealer. More cost-effective, though it may need more maintenance over time than epoxy.

Both will effectively seal your shower, but we strongly recommend epoxy grout for its superior waterproofing and long-term durability.

A properly executed epoxy regrout should last many years beyond the cement grout it replaces, provided the shower is maintained sensibly. Our workmanship is covered by a 4 year warranty.

Lifespan depends heavily on preparation. Grout applied over old material, or where the existing grout was not cut out to sufficient depth, will fail early regardless of the product used. This is exactly why we degrout fully on every job.

We ask that the shower stays completely dry for 24 hours before the service and after completion, so the new grout and silicone can bond and cure properly in a moisture-free environment.

Using the shower too early can compromise the cure and the waterproofing, so we recommend allowing the full curing time before returning it to regular use.

If your grout is cracked but the shower is not yet leaking, you likely only need a shower regrouting service rather than a full leaking shower repair.

For minor grout damage, regrouting refreshes the shower's appearance and prevents future leaks. Acting at this stage is considerably cheaper than waiting for water damage to appear.

For major grout damage or an existing leak, a full leaking shower repair in Perth is recommended instead.

A leaking shower can cause serious damage if left untreated. Common signs include:

• Cracked or missing grout between tiles
• Bubbling or peeling paint near the shower area
• Mould or mildew growth around the shower or bathroom walls
• Soft or swollen skirting boards
• Water stains on ceilings below the bathroom

If you notice any of these, it is important to address the leak quickly to prevent further structural damage.

It depends, but ideally no — the entire purpose of shower regrouting is to avoid going down the route of re-tiling. In virtually every job we complete, no tiles are removed at all.

If there are major cracks in some tiles, we can replace those individual tiles as part of the work.

No. Regrouting is not the right answer in every case, particularly where:

• The shower is too far gone with extensive structural damage
• There are too many drummy (loose or lifting) tiles
• There is significant underlying water damage affecting the integrity of the sealing

In those situations we honestly recommend retiling and full re-waterproofing instead. While some businesses push unnecessary repairs to secure a job, we would rather tell you upfront that a full replacement is the better option — even if it means losing the work.

Yes. Alongside shower regrouting we regrout and reseal bathroom floors, bathtub surrounds, vanities, kitchen and laundry splashbacks, tiled floors throughout the home, and balconies.

Balconies are usually finished in epoxy grout given their exposure to rain and temperature movement. See our balcony regrouting Perth service for details.

Our main focus is repairing and regrouting showers, bathrooms and balconies rather than cleaning them. That said, the work typically results in a significant improvement in appearance as a natural by-product.

The extent of that improvement depends on the age and condition of the area being worked on. Our before and after photos give a realistic idea of what to expect.

Use only pH-neutral cleaning products. Harsh or caustic cleaners gradually open the pores in grout, making it more susceptible to bacteria and causing it to weaken over time.

Squeegee or wipe the area down after each use to avoid standing water, and keep the bathroom well ventilated to reduce moisture build-up and mould growth. Liquid soap or body wash is preferable to bar soap, which leaves a residue that encourages grime.

Yes. To save time, all we need is a couple of photos of the shower or area you want regrouted and we will come back to you with a quote within 24 hours.

Free on-site inspections are also available across the Perth metro area with no call-out fee.

Yes. We cover the entire Perth metropolitan area, from Joondalup and Butler in the north to Mandurah and Rockingham in the south, and from Fremantle and Mosman Park on the coast out to Ellenbrook and Kalamunda in the hills.

There are never any call-out fees regardless of where you are in the metro area.
