Expert Shower Regrouting Across Perth
Regrouting Rescue is a specialist shower regrouting service working across the Perth metropolitan area. We focus on renewing grout and silicone in tiled wet areas.
Every job is carried out personally by Timotei Simina, a regrouting specialist with over a decade of hands-on experience. When you call, you deal directly with the tradesman who will do the work — no call centre, no subcontractors, no handovers.
Cracked, missing or badly stained grout can leave a shower looking tired and may need more than cleaning. Timotei removes deteriorated grout and replaces it with high-performance flexible grout, with epoxy available as a paid upgrade. Regrouting restores the grout joints; it does not replace an underlying waterproofing membrane.
In almost every case we do this without removing a single tile, which keeps the cost at a fraction of a bathroom renovation. If your grout has already failed to the point of a leak, see our dedicated leaking shower repairs in Perth service. We also handle balcony regrouting across Perth.

The Smarter Option
Why Regrout Instead of Retile?
Where the tiles and underlying waterproofing are sound, replacing worn grout can improve your shower without a full renovation. Timotei assesses suitability before quoting.
An Alternative to Retiling
Base regrouting starts from $350 including GST. Where the existing shower is suitable, keeping the tiles can reduce the work and cost involved.
Allow Time for the Repair
A full regrout takes 6–10 hours. Keep the shower unused for 36 hours afterwards so the materials can cure.
Keep Sound Tiles
Regrouting renews the joints between existing tiles. If tiles or the membrane have failed, a different repair may be needed.
Address Worn Joints
Replacing cracked grout and perished silicone addresses damaged surface joints. Any existing leak needs assessment to establish its cause.
Replace Stained Grout
Removing deteriorated grout can improve the appearance. Ventilation and regular cleaning remain important for managing mould.
Refresh the Bathroom
Fresh grout can improve a tired shower’s appearance while retaining the existing tiles.
Our Method
Our Shower Regrouting Process
Careful preparation is central to the job. A full shower regrout takes 6–10 hours, depending on its size and the condition of the existing grout. Allow 36 hours after completion before using the shower.
Inspection and Quote
Timotei assesses the shower and provides a quote. Suspected plumbing faults are referred to a plumber.
Silicone Removal
Existing silicone is removed from the corners, perimeter and accessible shower screen junctions.
Wall Grout Removal
Old wall grout is removed using the DegroutingRescue tool to prepare the joints.
Wall Regrouting
The walls are regrouted with high-performance flexible grout, or epoxy if selected as an upgrade.
Floor Grout Removal
Deteriorated grout is removed from the shower floor and the joints are prepared.
Floor Regrouting
Flexible grout is included. Epoxy is a paid upgrade that Timotei recommends for shower floors.
Perimeter Preparation and Sealing
The inside shower perimeter is prepared with a diamond-tip tool and sealed with epoxy.
Silicone Replacement
Fresh silicone is applied at the junctions. Sealing around the tap perimeter is optional.
Penetrating Sealer and Final Check
Two coats of penetrating sealer are applied last to protect the tile surfaces. The completed work is checked. Wait 36 hours before using the shower.
Spot It Early
Signs Your Shower Needs Regrouting
Cracks, persistent staining and deteriorated silicone are reasons to have your shower assessed. Loose tiles or dampness outside the shower may need further investigation.
Cracked or Missing Grout
Fine cracks, pitting or sections that have crumbled away entirely. Once the joint is open, water passes straight through with every shower.
Mould That Keeps Returning
Recurring mould can indicate persistent moisture or deteriorated grout. An inspection can help determine the next step.
Grout That Won't Clean Up
Dark, patchy or discoloured grout that no longer responds to cleaning has become porous and is absorbing water and soap residue.
Perished Silicone
Silicone at the wall-to-floor junction that has split, shrunk, lifted or gone black is no longer sealing a high-movement joint.
Efflorescence or Calcium
White crusty deposits on tiles or grout mean water is moving through the substrate and carrying salts back out to the surface.
Hollow-Sounding Tiles
Hollow-sounding or loose tiles need assessment. Regrouting alone may not be suitable.
Dampness Outside the Recess
Damp carpet, swollen skirting boards or bubbling paint on the other side of the shower wall are late-stage warning signs.
A Shower Over 10 Years Old
Age alone does not determine whether a shower needs regrouting. Check the condition of the grout, silicone and tiles.

Common Questions
Shower Regrouting Perth FAQs
Shower base regrouting starts from $350 including GST. A full regrout starts from $550 including GST for a small shower. These prices include flexible grout, labour and a 4-year workmanship warranty. Epoxy is a paid upgrade. Size, tile layout and the condition of the grout affect the final quote.
A shower base regrout typically takes 2–3 hours. A full shower regrout takes 6–10 hours, depending on size and how difficult the existing grout is to remove. Wait 36 hours after completion before using the shower.
If the tiles and underlying waterproofing are sound, regrouting replaces worn grout while keeping the tiles. It can improve appearance and address failed surface joints without a full renovation. It does not replace a failed waterproofing membrane.
High-performance flexible grout is included in our starting prices. Epoxy grout is an optional paid upgrade, recommended for shower floors. Timotei will explain the options and costs before work begins. Neither option replaces a failed waterproofing membrane.
Lifespan depends on the shower’s condition, preparation, materials and ongoing care. Our work comes with a 4-year workmanship warranty. Ask Timotei for the applicable warranty terms.
Wait 36 hours after completion before using the shower. This allows the grout and silicone time to cure. Timotei will explain any preparation and aftercare instructions for your job.
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 addresses deteriorated grout joints. 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.
Regrouting is intended to retain sound tiles. We generally avoid lifting cracked tiles because doing so can damage the membrane underneath. Timotei will assess any cracks and explain whether a surface repair is suitable or another trade is needed.
No. Loose or lifting tiles, structural damage or a failed waterproofing membrane may require a different repair. Timotei will explain when regrouting is unsuitable. Plumbing problems are referred to a qualified plumber.
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.
