My grout is very mouldy, can you still help?Absolutely, we can help. We thrive on transforming tired, stained and mouldy grout lines back to their former glory. We will clean the grout lines first, to remove the mould and then we apply the Grout Gleam compound to the colour of your choice.

How is the compound applied?Our specially trained staff firstly clean the tiles and grout removing any dirt or mould. We then may need to scrape the surface of the grout very slightly. Once the grout is prepped, we will then apply then apply the compound to the grout lines. We will apply two coats of the compound to ensure coverage is efficient and even. Once the compound has dried we then clean the tiles removing any excess compound from the tiles, leaving a hygienic and enhanced finish to your tiled surface.

Does the Grout Gleam compound work on tiled floors with high traffic?Yes, once your tiled floor grout lines are covered with our compound they will be able to be mopped clean the same as a tile, without the grout lines soaking in the mop water and staining.
-
How does the Grout Gleam compound work?Our special compound, unique to Grout Gleam, chemically binds to your existing grout and creates a hydrophobic and oleophobic barrier. This means that once the compound is applied your grout will be fully sealed meaning that it will be moisture and stain resistant and can be kept clean with a simple wipe of a clean cloth.

Some of my grout is missing. Can you still help?Yes, we always closely inspect your grout lines while doing a quote and we point out any grout that needs refilling and this will be done as part of the service on the day.

Can you match my existing silicone colour?Yes, of course. We use a quality high-quality silicone which is fungus, mildew resistant and bacteriostatic. This is available in 5 colours, so we normally we have a colour to match. However, if your colour is not available in this brand of silicone then we will find a match for you.

Do you replace mouldy silicone?Yes, all the time. If we are covering your grout we normally remove and replace the silicone at the same time as part of the service. However, we do also provide a stand alone silicone service for showers, baths, sinks, kitchen worktops, windows and floors.
