Is your shower looking tired or showing signs of a hidden leak?
Shower grout may seem like a minor detail, but once it starts to crack, discolour or peel away, it can quickly lead to more serious water damage and mould issues. That’s why many Perth homeowners turn to a professional shower regrouting service when it’s time to fix leaking showers and protect their bathrooms for the long term. In this blog, we’ll take you through the full process—so you’ll know exactly what to expect when you choose AllSealedWA, one of Perth’s most trusted names in tile and grout restoration.

Initial Assessment and Quote
The first step in any professional regrouting service is a detailed assessment. An experienced technician from AllSealedWA will visit your property to inspect the condition of your shower. They’ll look for telltale signs like missing grout, mould growth, peeling silicone, and moisture intrusion—all of which can lead to more serious structural issues if left untreated.
During this assessment, you’ll receive a clear explanation of the issue and a no-obligation quote tailored to your shower’s needs. You’ll also get a rundown of the scope of works and materials used. Transparency is key, and our team prides itself on helping customers make informed decisions—without any pushy sales tactics.
In many cases, homeowners are surprised to learn that full tile removal isn’t necessary—our methods are designed to fix leaks and refresh surfaces while keeping your existing tiles in place. From there, we’ll schedule a service at your convenience and prepare everything needed for a smooth, stress-free experience.
Our assessment also includes testing for hidden moisture behind walls using moisture metres, as undetected leaks can lead to structural deterioration over time. We take photos of any problem areas and explain the findings in clear terms, so you know exactly what’s happening behind the surface.
This stage is also your opportunity to ask questions—our technicians are more than happy to explain the difference between grout and silicone, why leaks occur, and what makes our approach more durable. We don’t just patch over problems; we aim to eliminate the cause.
Importantly, you’ll never be pressured into making a quick decision. Our quotes are valid for a reasonable period, giving you time to consider your options or compare providers. Whether the job is straightforward or complex, you’ll have a full understanding of what’s involved before any work begins. This clear, consultative approach is what sets AllSealedWA apart from other service providers.

The Shower Regrouting Process – Step by Step
Here’s where the transformation happens. On the day of service, your technician will begin by safely removing all deteriorated grout and silicone using purpose-built tools. Care is taken to preserve the surrounding tiles and surfaces while thoroughly clearing out the old materials.
Once the old grout is removed, we apply our exclusive high-grade sealants and replacement compounds—formulated to be long-lasting, mould-resistant, and perfect for Perth’s humid conditions. This ensures that your regrouted shower is not only sealed from leaks but also looks as good as new.
Depending on the shower’s size and extent of damage, the process usually takes a few hours to complete. The end result is a sleek, watertight finish with strong adhesion and clean lines that improve both function and appearance. Because we don’t remove tiles, there’s no mess, no waste—and you can usually use the shower again within 24–48 hours.
After the grout and silicone removal, we take time to deep clean the area to remove any remaining residue, dirt, or mould spores. This step ensures the new materials adhere properly and no contaminants remain beneath the surface. Every detail is handled with care, from re-priming the joints to ensuring consistent grout depth and coverage.
We also use mould-resistant additives in our grouts and sealants, specifically chosen to combat the high humidity common in Perth bathrooms. This extra protection means a longer lifespan for your grout and improved hygiene for your shower space.
Before we wrap up, we’ll carry out a final inspection and clean-down. Our technicians walk you through the finished job, show you how the new sealing works, and explain the drying times and maintenance guidelines. The professionalism of our team ensures the entire regrouting process is smooth, tidy, and stress-free—something DIY attempts often fail to deliver.

What Makes a Professional Job Different?
You might wonder whether you could attempt regrouting yourself. While DIY kits exist, the results rarely match the quality or longevity of a professional application. At AllSealedWA, we use tools and compounds not typically found in retail stores, and we apply techniques honed over 15+ years of experience.
The difference isn’t just in appearance. A proper professional regrouting job ensures maximum water resistance, structural integrity, and a flawless finish. This reduces your risk of hidden leaks, rising damp, and long-term water damage—all of which can cost far more to fix down the line.
We also back our services with warranties for peace of mind. That’s why our customers consistently recommend us as leading regrouting experts—our work speaks for itself, and so do the results.
The long-term value of a professional job goes beyond aesthetics. We also ensure that the angles and joints—especially around the base of the shower, taps, and screen—are finished to prevent pooling water, which is a major cause of early grout failure.
Cheap or rushed work often overlooks important steps like substrate preparation, correct joint depth, and flexible silicone finishing. Without proper bonding or sealing, even the best-looking grout can fail within months. Our technicians are trained to Australian standards and use exclusive sealants that have been tested in local homes.
We also understand different tile types—porcelain, ceramic, natural stone—and apply the correct technique for each, avoiding staining or damage. This technical precision ensures a longer-lasting, premium finish.
So, when you choose AllSealedWA, you’re not just getting a grout replacement—you’re investing in long-term waterproofing, peace of mind, and service that goes well beyond the surface level.

Benefits of Choosing a Local Perth Specialist
When it comes to your bathroom, choosing a trusted shower regrouting company in Perth makes all the difference. At AllSealedWA, we understand the unique challenges that WA homes face—such as mineral-heavy water, temperature fluctuations, and common bathroom designs used in local builds.
Because we’re a local team, we can provide faster service turnaround, better responsiveness, and tailored advice for Perth homeowners. Our technicians live and work in the same communities as our customers, so we take great pride in offering top-tier workmanship that’s recommended through word of mouth and repeat referrals.
Whether you’re in the northern suburbs, south of the river or regional WA, we’re proud to offer consistent, professional support. Our trained experts are equipped with branded materials and a proven process that’s earned industry trust throughout the state.
Perth’s unique climate—especially in coastal areas—means that tiles and grout are constantly exposed to high humidity, salt air, and temperature fluctuations. These factors can cause grout to deteriorate more quickly, especially if it wasn’t applied correctly in the first place. A local expert understands these conditions and can tailor their approach accordingly.
We’ve worked in everything from high-rise apartments in the CBD to older Federation-style homes in Fremantle. This local knowledge means we can anticipate challenges and adapt our products and processes to suit your property’s style and structure.
Plus, when you work with a Perth-based team like AllSealedWA, you’re supporting a locally owned business that reinvests into the community. We take pride in every job because your satisfaction contributes to our long-standing reputation. We’re not a fly-in-fly-out service—we’re here to stay, ready to help you maintain a leak-free, beautiful bathroom for years to come.

Aftercare & Maintenance Tips
Once your shower is regrouted, it’s important to take steps to maintain its condition and maximise its lifespan. We recommend using non-acidic, pH-neutral cleaning products to avoid breaking down the new grout prematurely. Avoid harsh scrubbing tools that can wear away the surface sealant.
Ventilation is another key factor. Keep your bathroom well-ventilated to minimise moisture buildup—this helps prevent future mould growth and keeps your grout looking fresh. If you use a squeegee or microfibre cloth to wipe down your shower after each use, you’ll go a long way in keeping it clean and dry.
We also encourage periodic checks every 12–24 months. If you notice any cracks, stains or softening around joints, it’s worth booking a quick inspection to catch small problems early. Our team is always available for follow-ups and recommendations—simply contact us today for friendly advice or to book a return visit.
