Bronte context

What tile regrouting & recaulking looks like in Bronte

Bronte federation cottage family bathrooms typically have ceramic wall tile with cement grout that's between 20 and 40 years old. The grout is mould-stained, often spalling, and the silicone is cracked at every change of plane. Strip-out reveals fairly sound substrate in most cases — the substrate just needs drying and mould-treating before reset. Polymer-modified grout is fine here; epoxy on the shower walls if the budget permits.
