Shower and bathroom issues in Bayside homes
Bayside includes established houses, period homes, 1960s to 1980s brick units, townhouses and apartment buildings. Bathrooms may have original tiling, later renovations or both. Cement grout can crack or wear away and silicone can split, shrink or lose adhesion at corners and wall-to-floor junctions. These gaps can let shower water pass behind the tiled surface.
Older bathrooms may have tired grout around a shower base, while newer bathrooms can develop failed silicone where surfaces move. Stains, peeling paint or damp smells outside a bathroom call for investigation, but do not identify the cause: water can also arise from plumbing, drainage or construction below the tiles. We advise if another trade or more investigation is needed.
How our shower regrouting and resealing works
A regrout is not a coating over old joints. Failed grout is removed, the joints are prepared and epoxy grout is installed. Failed silicone is cut out and replaced at applicable corners, junctions and around the shower screen. Epoxy grout is non-porous and does not need sealing, but does not replace a waterproof membrane beneath the tiles. The scope depends on the layout, tile size and condition.

Surface entry compared with problems below the tiles
Regrouting and resealing address water entry through failed joints and silicone. They do not repair a burst pipe, replace a membrane or correct drainage and structural defects. The comparison below explains why a diagnosis matters before work begins.
Balcony regrouting for Bayside properties
Tiled balconies need a different assessment because they are exposed to weather and drainage. Crumbling grout, failed perimeter sealant, door thresholds, floor wastes and penetrations can be water-entry points. Epoxy regrouting and resealing can suit failed surface joints and sealant. Widely loose tiles, pooling water or apparent membrane or structural issues may need a different solution.

Do you service Brighton, Hampton and the rest of Bayside?
Yes. We service Brighton, Brighton East, Hampton, Hampton East, Sandringham, Beaumaris, Black Rock, Mentone, Cheltenham and Highett for shower and balcony epoxy regrouting and resealing.
Can a leaking shower be repaired without removing tiles?
Often, yes, when water is entering through failed grout or silicone. We remove the deteriorated material and replace it with epoxy grout and new silicone within the agreed scope. This does not replace a failed membrane or fix a plumbing leak.
How much does shower regrouting cost in Bayside?
A shower base starts from $650 + GST. A shower base and 2 walls starts from $1,250 + GST, 3 walls from $1,450 + GST and a walk-in shower from $1,650 + GST. Silicone replacement only starts from $450 + GST.
How can I tell whether I need a plumber or a regrout?
Visible cracked grout and failed silicone can point to surface entry. Dampness when the shower has not been used or an unexplained water-bill increase can point to plumbing, so a plumber should investigate first. We will tell you if the visible signs suggest regrouting is not the right first step.
Can you regrout a tiled balcony?
We assess tiled balconies for failed grout and sealant around the perimeter, threshold, drain and penetrations. Regrouting is a surface repair and may not be suitable where there are widespread loose tiles, poor falls, membrane failure or structural damage.
Send photos for a fixed quote
Send a photo of the whole shower or balcony and a close-up of the grout. We assess the visible condition and explain whether regrouting and resealing are suitable.
