Common Mistakes to Avoid While Tile Regrouting in Melbourne



Regrouting is an essential component of maintaining an attractive surface on the tiles. Especially in places such as showers where there is a greater potential for discoloration of the grout. To fix the stain, some individuals simply paint over discoloured grout. However, the safest idea is to go ahead and regrout the tiles if the grout is degraded and no longer waterproof.

Here are some of the most common errors while tile regrouting in Melbourne.

Wrong Timing

The timing is everything. Before wiping the tiles clean, it is necessary to wait until the grout has set in as premature wiping will result in gouges. Do not wait too long however, or the grout will dry up on the tiles possibly causing permanent damage. Be sure to give 24 to 72 hours of drying time once the grouting is done. The grout will become irregular and dislodge itself from the joints if a freshly regrouted surface is walked on before it has had time to dry entirely.

Not Mixing Correctly

A common issue that can lead to a botched regrouting task is applying the incorrect amount of water to the grout. Too much water does not allow it to set properly resulting in a runny grout, while too little water can make the grout powdery and ineffective. Every grout brand has its own advice about how much water to apply, so be sure to pay careful attention to the measurements.

Grout Damage Does Not Have to be Treated Immediately.

A grout joint that has broken, split, crumbled or worn away over time can be easy to find and leave as a task for another day. But as soon as grout damage starts to occur, it is important to have these areas inspected, regardless of how small an area is affected. Damaged grout can cause a number of problems in the missing joints, including leaking showers and balconies, drummy tiles, efflorescence deposits, waterproofing damage to the membrane, loose and lifted tiles, or heavy dirt deposits. Damaged grout can also lead to leakages, which are costly and difficult to fix.
