Signs You Need a Regrout
Not sure if it’s time to replace that old grout? Here are telltale signs your shower or tiled area could benefit from regrouting:
Discoloured or stained grout
If your grout lines remain yellow, brown, or patchy white no matter how much you scrub, the grout has likely absorbed dirt and mold beyond cleaning. Deep stains mean the grout is compromised and it’s time for a fresh start.
Mold and mildew
Black spots along grout lines or in corners that keep coming back indicate moisture is seeping in. Old grout can harbor fungus and is often impossible to fully eradicate without removing and replacing it.
Cracked or crumbling grout
Do you see grout flaking out or hairline cracks running through it? This breaks the waterproof seal between tiles. Water can get behind tiles and even cause them to loosen. Damaged grout is a sure sign a regrout is due.
Loose tiles or gaps
If some tiles are no longer snug because the grout around them is gone, it’s a definite red flag. Grout helps secure tiles in place; missing grout can lead to water behind tiles and further loosening.
Recurring leaks
Have you fixed a leaking shower multiple times with sealant or patches, but it still leaks? The grout might be the weak link. Fresh epoxy grout can often solve leaks that old, porous grout allowed.
Even if you don’t see a leak yet, addressing grout issues early can prevent water damage. Plus, new grout simply looks nicer!
Our Grout Replacement Process
At Megasealed, we make the grout replacement (regrouting) process efficient and mess-free:
Assessment
First, our technician will examine your tiled area to determine the grout condition and any underlying issues. We ensure that regrouting is the appropriate solution (and if we find any loose tiles or bigger problems, we’ll let you know).
Removing Old Grout
Using specialized tools, we carefully cut out and scrape away all the old grout from between the tiles. It’s important to remove it entirely rather than just covering it. We take care not to damage your tiles in the process – preserving what’s in good condition.
Cleaning the Joints
Once the grout is removed, we thoroughly clean the gaps between tiles. This may involve removing any debris, dust, and mildew. A clean surface ensures the new grout will bond properly. We also make sure the area is dry before proceeding.
Applying New Epoxy Grout
Now the magic begins. We apply Megasealed’s exclusive Megagrout MG14 epoxy grout into all the joints using professional tools. Epoxy grout is superior to traditional grout – it’s waterproof, stain-resistant, and formulated to handle daily use in showers and wet areas. We smooth the grout, fill every line, and wipe the tiles for a neat finish.
Curing and Sealing
Epoxy grout sets relatively quickly, but we allow the proper curing time as per product specs. Once done, we’ll usually also replace any old silicone sealant at corners or edges (like between shower walls and floor, or around fixtures) to ensure a complete seal. The area is then ready to use within about 24 hours in most cases.
In just a few hours of work, your shower or tiled surface is transformed. The dark, mildewed lines are gone, replaced with clean, bright grout. We can even offer a range of grout colors – you might choose a new color to modernize the look of your tiles (for example, light grey instead of dated white, or vice versa) to give your bathroom a style boost without changing tiles.
Why Opt for Megasealed Grout Replacement?
Regrouting with epoxy is a fast, cost-effective way to refresh your bathroom and stop many leaking shower issues at the source, delivering a modern look and long-lasting waterproof protection without the expense of new tiles.
Stop Leaks at the Source
Most leaking showers begin with failing grout. By regrouting with our epoxy formula, you effectively stop leaking showers without tearing up the floor or walls. It’s a targeted fix that addresses the root cause – water sneaking through porous, cracked grout.
Cost-Effective Refresh
Regrouting is a fraction of the cost of a full retile or renovation, yet it can make your bathroom look nearly new. It’s the best “bang for your buck” if you want to refresh appearances and solve minor issues simultaneously.
Long-Lasting Results
Our Megagrout epoxy is industrial-grade and built to last. Unlike cement-based grout, it won’t wear away or discolor quickly. It’s also highly resistant to mould, so your days of scrubbing mildew could be over. We also ensure no old grout is left underneath – giving the new grout maximum lifespan by adhering directly to the tiles.
Quick and Convenient
We can typically complete a shower regrout in 2 to 4 hours and have it ready to use by the next day. That means minimal downtime for your bathroom. Our process is clean – no heavy construction or debris – and our technicians always tidy up after themselves.
Adds Life to Your Bathroom
By renewing the grout, you extend the life of your tile installation. Your tiles stay firmly in place and protected from water ingress. Think of regrouting as giving your bathroom a new lease on life, both aesthetically and structurally, without breaking the bank.
