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.

Paddington context

What tile regrouting & recaulking looks like in Paddington

Paddington heritage bathroom tile demands hand-tool strip-out — oscillating cutter risks chipping the brittle tile edges. Substrate is often original cement-screed; we test for movement, treat any soft spots, and reset with colour-matched polymer-modified grout. Anti-fungal silicone joints are tooled with finishing tools, never a finger. Heritage tile patterns are sometimes hand-laid in unique configurations; we photograph before strip-out so the pattern is preserved exactly on reset.
