How long does regrouting take in a bathroom?

A typical Bondi bathroom is one full day. Don't use the shower for 24 hours after silicone is applied.

Will the grout colour match exactly?

We can closely match standard colours. An exact match on aged grout requires colour-matching to a sample.

Is regrouting cheaper than re-tiling?

Significantly — usually a tenth of the cost.

Tile regrouting & recaulking in Bondi

Bondi 2026 humidity drives bathroom mould harder than the rest of Sydney. We strip out failed grout and silicone, treat the substrate, and lay mildew-resistant grout designed for coastal bathrooms.

Bondi context

What tile regrouting & recaulking looks like in Bondi

Most Bondi flats have small windowed bathrooms with poor ventilation; humidity sits in tile joints for hours after every shower. Standard cement grout in this environment becomes a mould incubator within 18 months. We use polymer-modified mould-resistant grout (or epoxy where the budget permits) and seal it as a default. Silicone joints around bath, shower screen, and basin get medical-grade anti-fungal silicone — the standard tube from Bunnings doesn't last on the coast.
