When in Doubt Re-Grout
Have you recently noticed cracks in your grout, mould build up or that it lacks the smoothness it once had and crumbles under moderate pressure when cleaning?
If so, it might be time to get this looked at by a professional or if you are skilled in DIY, get ready to get dirty.
Cracked grouts in showers are inevitable due to multiple factors, including humidity and temperate. People often don’t change their grout until it’s too late and see damage to their floors, walls, or structural integrity. It’s best to re-grout your shower tiles at the first sign of damage as the longer you wait the more damage it will do resulting in a costly fix.
There are a few things to consider if you are going to go the DIY route which includes calculating the area, selecting the correct grout, ensuring you have the right tools for the job and the time needed to remove and reapply the grout. There are many YouTube videos and how to guides from various businesses online, however this is a skilled job and one that we would personally seek a professional for.
Take ten this weekend and check your showers for cracks and moisture as they are a breeding ground for mould and mildew as they are not only unsafe for your health but tell-tale signs that you need to get to grouting.
