Tile Regrouting Services

Regrouting involves removing the old grout line between the tiles, cleaning the joints and installing fresh grout.

Regrouting has been in our family for well over 20 years. During this time we have regrouted thousands of sq meters of all different types of grout ranging from joints as small as 1.5mm to over 20mm including basic grouts such as sand and cement, cement coloured, and a wide range of epoxy grouts.

Grout joints can crack, split, crumble and wear off over time. Once grout joints are damaged or missing, a variety of problems can occur including:

• Leaking showers
• Leaking balconies
• Drummy tiles
• Efflorescence deposits
• Waterproofing membrane damage
• Loose or lifted tiles
• Heavy dirt deposits in the missing joints

It is very important to have the areas inspected as soon as grout damage starts to appear regardless of how little of an area is affected. A few hairline fractures on the grout might not seem like a big issue, however in a shower or a balcony this could lead to serious costly damage and cause leakage below. Our technicians offer free inspections of your areas and if repairs are required, free quotes are available following an inspection.

Regrouting is not a DIY task. It is time-consuming and requires an extreme eye for detail and precision combined with correct machinery and dust control equipment. Old grout has to be removed to a required depth, and the joints have to be carefully cleaned before new grout can be installed. Different types of grout will require different depths, and this can also vary with the width of the joint. Not all grout types are suitable for all joints. Tile Tech Solutions carry a wide range of grouts to suit different applications, including wide joint grouts, flexible grouts, speciality grouts with efflorescence blockers, and epoxy grouts for both domestic and commercial applications. Preparation is one of the most crucial parts of the entire process and plays an important role in the end result.

Old grout cannot be removed manually in order to obtain a professional long lasting result. Manual removal tools cannot remove enough grout in order to fit enough new grout in. We do not recommend or use them.

At Tile Tech Solutions, we carry a wide range of high-quality diamond blades in different shapes and sizes in order to achieve premium results. Our blades and machines are capable of removing grout in very hard to reach areas and at different depths. We are also equipped with highly powered vacuum cleaners that not only help control dust during the grout removal process but also leave the site in a clean condition upon completion.

We never ever Skim Coat Grout, which is installing new grout on top of the old one. Please ensure when obtaining quotes from other companies that they are not using this method. In our experience, we have come across a lot that do. This is a very quick, cheap and short lived method. If this method is applied, new grout can crack as soon as 4 weeks after installation.
