TILE REGROUTING PROCESS

There are two methods of tile regrouting. First is to add grout on top of the existing grout. The second and most common method is to remove the previous grout and add new grout into the lines.

During this process, firstly we remove the existing grout and clean the grout lines with strong, specialty cleaning chemicals which will not damage the surrounding tiles. We vacuum the area and mix and apply the new grout into the empty grout lines. Lastly, we will clean the tiles and remove any grout haze and other residue left on the surface. We also specialise in using epoxy grout and can offer this service for clients.
