Regrout + deep clean
Stained grout removed, tiles deep-cleaned, fresh uniform grout laid.
Resealing is the maintenance step that keeps an otherwise sound shower functioning. Over time even a well-built shower shows wear at its joints — grout crazes, silicone discolours, movement joints open up. Left alone these become the entry point for leaks.
A reseal renews the joints without touching the tile face or waterproofing membrane. The result looks cleaner, sheds water properly and typically extends the shower's useful life for years.
Common causes
- Age — grout and silicone are consumables and wear out with use
- Daily thermal movement working the joints loose
- Aggressive cleaning products stripping the grout surface
- Hard water and soap scum building up in the joints
- Original joints finished without flexible sealant where movement occurs

Frequently asked
How is resealing different from regrouting?
Regrouting is one part of a reseal. A full reseal also replaces the silicone at movement joints — the grout alone will crack again if the silicone joints are ignored.
Will a reseal fix an active leak?
Only if the leak is caused by the surface joints. If the failure is behind the tiles, a reseal will not solve it and we will tell you before quoting.
How often should a shower be resealed?
It depends on use, ventilation and materials. Many showers benefit from a reseal every 5–8 years.
Can you reseal only the base and leave the walls?
Yes. Targeted scopes are common when a specific area is failing.
