Introduction
Sometimes, cleaning alone won’t fix stained, cracked, or crumbling grout. That’s when it’s time to regrout — giving your tiles a fresh, clean look without replacing the whole floor or wall.
When to Choose Regrouting Over Cleaning
- Stains don’t come off even after deep cleaning.
- Grout is cracking or falling out.
- Tiles are loose because the grout is missing.
Experts recommend regrouting every 10–12 years, depending on moisture and foot traffic.
First, inspect the area and pick the right grout type: cement-based for floors, epoxy for bathrooms or wet areas. Clean tiles thoroughly so no dirt stays trapped underneath.
Removing Old Grout
Use a grout saw or rotary tool to carefully scrape out old grout. Be gentle to avoid chipping your tiles. Take your time — rushing can damage tile edges.
Adding New Grout
Mix fresh grout as per the instructions. Use a grout float to press it deep into the joints, then wipe away extra before it hardens. After curing fully, apply a sealer to protect it from water and stains.
Tips for a Professional Finish
- Work in small sections so the grout doesn’t dry too fast.
- Keep a sponge handy to clean tiles as you go.
- Smooth out joints for neat lines.
Maintenance After Regrouting
Clean grout weekly, avoid harsh chemicals, and reseal yearly to maintain that brand-new look.
