Grout is the thin cementitious joint between wall and floor tiles. When it cracks, crumbles or falls out, water can pass behind the tile face and reach the substrate. Small failures are cheap to correct — extended failures often mean water has been tracking behind the wall for months.
Grout repair addresses the visible failure and restores the water-shedding surface. Where the underlying waterproofing is still intact, a targeted repair can extend the shower's usable life for years without the disruption of a full renovation.

How the repair runs
Step 1
Assessment
Photos or an onsite check to confirm the failure is grout — not waterproofing.
Step 2
Preparation
Failed grout is removed to a clean, consistent depth and the joint is prepared.
Step 3
Regrout
New grout is worked into the joint, tooled and cleaned.
Step 4
Cure and handover
Curing time is confirmed before the shower is put back into use.
Frequently asked
Can grout be repaired in patches, or does the whole shower need regrouting?
Patch repairs are possible when failures are isolated. Once cracking is widespread, a full regrout usually gives a longer-lasting result and looks more consistent.
Will the new grout match the existing colour?
We match as closely as possible from standard grout colours. On aged grout an exact match is rare, but the finished result is clean and consistent.
How long before the shower can be used again?
Standard grout typically needs 24 hours before water contact. Curing time is confirmed on the day based on the product used.
Is grout repair enough if the shower is leaking?
Not always. Grout is the surface — the waterproofing sits behind the tiles. Where the waterproofing has failed, regrouting alone will not stop the leak.
