Tired of Scrubbing Your Shower Grout?
Are you sick of spending your weekends scrubbing, bleaching and trying to remove stains from your shower grout — only to realise they never completely come off? Even when they do, they are back the following week. If so, Tile Tech Solutions has a solution.
Thousands of dollars are spent every year by Australian families on shower cleaning products that promise magic results but never really deliver. A lot of time and elbow grease is spent trying to remove stains from cementitious and regular grouts. Most of the stains in the shower are caused by mould, fungi, bacteria, shampoos, conditioners and hair products.

Why Standard Grout Fails in Showers
The majority of showers are grouted using standard or cement-based grouts. These types of grouts are very porous, meaning they absorb stains and it’s quite easy for mould to grow in them. Cement-based grouts can be sealed, however in a high-traffic wet area like a shower, sealers can last as little as 2 years. This time frame can be further reduced with frequent cleaning using harsh chemicals.
Use of bleach-based products does not solve the problem completely. In most cases these products only remove the surface mould. It is important to remember that mould grows within the cement-based grout joint and not only on its surface. When bleach is applied it lightens the mould and freshens up the grout, however the root of the problem remains inside the joint.
Overuse of bleach products can corrode the grout which will make it even more porous, worsening the mould and stain issue.
The Epoxy Grout Solution
At Tile Tech Solutions we have taken regular shower re-grouting to a new level, using the king of grouts – epoxy grout. For years, epoxy grout has been used in commercial applications to provide a hygienic, stain, mould and chemical resistant surface. We have implemented the same idea for residential showers.
Remember: Epoxy re-grouting is not for everyone. It takes years of experience and knowledge to master epoxy grouting. It’s the most difficult grout to work with and there are no second chances due to its fast curing times and precision in mixing. Tile Tech Solutions has been installing epoxy grout for over a decade. Trust Tile Tech Solutions for all your epoxy re-grouting needs.
Easier Ongoing Maintenance
Even though epoxy is extremely strong, waterproof, stain and mould resistant, it should still be included in the regular cleaning of your shower or wet area. With cement-based grouts, stains, soap scum, mould, fungi and bacteria can grow inside the joint, making them permanent and leading to the requirement for re-grouting.
With epoxy grout, these stains can only grow on the surface of the joint, making them cleanable if regular cleaning is maintained. You will find cleaning and maintenance much easier and more cost effective.
