Need to regrout your old shower?
Grout is the first line of defence in any tiled shower, and the first thing to fail. Over time, constant water exposure causes grout to crack, discolour, crumble or grow mould, especially where cement-based grout has been used.
Our shower regrouting service removes only the grout that’s failed using our precision DiamoSmart® diamond-tipped system, then restores the joint with commercial-grade epoxy grout — stronger, more water-resistant and more mould-resistant than standard grout. It’s a targeted fix for grout-specific problems, without the cost or disruption of removing tiles.
Our shower regrouting service is ideal for:
- Cracked, crumbling or hollow-sounding grout
- Discoloured or stained grout lines
- Mould or mildew building up along grout joints
- Grout that’s come loose or is missing in sections
- Preventative regrouting before minor wear turns into a leak
Backed by our 25-year SealRight™ product warranty, our regrouting solutions are used across residential and commercial properties, including hotels, accommodation facilities, retirement villages, hospitals, medical facilities, and healthcare clinics.
To achieve the regrouting result you deserve, we’ve invested in
- Our unique DiamoSmart® diamond-tipped preparation system
- Commercial-grade epoxy grout, stronger and more durable than standard cement-based grout
- Mould and mildew-retardant grout additives
- Precision colour-matching to your existing tile scheme
- 28 years of specialist shower repair experience

Signs your shower needs regrouting
Signs your shower needs regrouting
Over time, shower grout can crack, crumble, discolour or develop stubborn mould due to constant exposure to water and everyday use. Spotting these early signs can help you address deteriorating grout before the problem gets worse.
Not sure if your shower needs regrouting? Here are four common signs to look out for.
Cracked or Crumbling Grout
Cracks, gaps, or crumbling grout between shower tiles can allow moisture to penetrate beneath the surface.
Mould or Mildew in Grout Lines
Stubborn mould or dark spots that keep returning despite cleaning may indicate deteriorating grout.
Discoloured or Stained Grout
Yellow, brown or patchy grout that no longer responds to regular cleaning can make your shower look worn and unclean.
Loose or Missing Grout
Grout that has come loose or fallen out leaves gaps between tiles that may require professional regrouting.
Common causes of grout failure
Shower grout can deteriorate over time due to constant moisture exposure, movement and everyday wear. Here are the most common causes of grout failure:
- Building or substrate movement
- Movement at changes of plane, such as corners and wall-to-floor joints
- Poor surface preparation or incorrect mixing during installation
- The wrong grout for a wet area
- Grout shrinkage as it cures
- Excessive moisture and general deterioration over time
- Previous poor-quality repairs
Effects of ignoring shower regrouting
Effects of ignoring shower regrouting
Ignoring deteriorating shower grout can lead to more than just an unsightly bathroom. Here are some potential consequences of leaving damaged grout untreated:
Moisture Damage
Cracked or missing grout can allow moisture beneath tiles, potentially contributing to water damage and costly repairs.
Mould and Mildew Growth
Deteriorating grout can trap moisture and encourage stubborn mould and mildew growth, making your shower harder to maintain.
Unsightly Shower Appearance
Cracked, stained or missing grout can make your shower look old and neglected, even when the tiles are in good condition.
Addressing damaged grout early can help prevent further deterioration, maintain your shower’s appearance and reduce the risk of costly repairs. At The Shower Repair Centre, we restore deteriorated grout using durable, commercial-grade epoxy grout, generally without removing your existing tiles.

FAQs
The purpose of the grout is to emanate an unblemished tile appearance, while bonding the wall junctions and the floor and wall junctions – preventing wall and floor separation.
Grout mixtures must be selected carefully to make sure that dirt and other outside elements like mould and mildew will not seep into the tiles to avoid discoloration and possible leaks.
There are various ways in which installation can cause cracked grout in shower:
- If mixed with too much water concentration or additives
- If too little adhesive is used in tiles installation
- Cement-based grout can only handle the pressure for so long if a tile pulls away from the wall after the adhesive dries
Regrouting is the process of removing old, failed grout and replacing it with new grout to restore the shower’s seal and appearance. It’s a quick, budget-friendly fix, especially where mould has already developed. We recommend epoxy grout over cement-based grout, as it’s stronger, more durable and requires less maintenance.
Yes. Grouting is the weakest link in a tile installation, and cracks mainly happen due to movement between two surfaces. Homes inevitably move in tiny increments because of humidity, foundation settling and temperature changes.
Even old or damaged grout can lead to water penetration and, over time, structural damage, which is why timely regrouting is important.
Constant exposure to moisture and water can cause grout to deteriorate over time, potentially leading to cracks, gaps, and water penetration. This is why it’s important to inspect your shower grout regularly and consider regrouting when signs of deterioration appear. Regrouting is a cost-effective way to refresh your shower’s appearance while helping protect it from moisture-related damage.
While you may have excellent DIY skills, it’s best to leave shower tile regrouting to a professional. Even small mistakes during the process can lead to costly damage to your grout and tiles. If grout is not applied correctly, moisture can seep through small gaps, encouraging mould and mildew growth and potentially requiring another regrouting service sooner than expected.
Using a flexible, high-quality grout (such as epoxy grout), ensuring correct application with the right adhesive and water ratios, and maintaining proper ventilation to reduce moisture buildup all help extend grout life. Regular cleaning and prompt attention to early signs of wear also help prevent small cracks from developing into larger, costlier repairs.
