How to Recolour Your Grout for a Complete Room Makeover
You feel like your room is too dark and closed in. You’ve tried everything to make your room feel brighter and bigger. Nothing has worked very well? This is what happened to our customer Sarah from Brisbane. Sarah had tried changing the tapware, painting the walls, switching the lights to a warmer coloured bulb, but the room still felt dull and closed in. When Sarah contacted GroutPro to get her shower restored, she mentioned the issues she had with her bathroom – that it was dark, dull and felt small. Our technician suggested something she hadn’t considered yet… colouring her grout lines. Instead of sticking with the dark grey grout that came with the house, Sarah chose a soft white tone to match the walls and tiles. The technician explained it would create a seamless, more open feel — almost like visually “extending” the space. The change was instant. The tiles looked brighter, the room reflected more light and the space felt much bigger, all thanks to grout! Your grout might seem like a small detail, but it has a massive influence on how a room looks and feels. Whether your tiles are still in great condition or just need a lift, changing your grout colour can completely transform your space — from dull and dated to bright and modern — without the cost of a full renovation. Here’s how you can refresh, recolour, or replace your grout, and how GroutPro can help every step of the way.

A professional clean can lift those stains and restore your grout’s original colour — giving your space a quick and affordable facelift. Why It Works: Grout and tiles are porous and hold onto grime that ordinary household cleaners can’t remove. GroutPro’s professional-grade cleaning equipment and specialist solutions extract deep-seated dirt, restoring the true colour and finish of your tiled surfaces. What You’ll Get: A brighter, cleaner, fresher appearance A low-cost, short-term way to refresh your tiles Perfect for homes being sold, rented, or just needing a quick lift ✅ Result: A lighter, more open-looking space that feels instantly refreshed. Option 2: ColourSeal Best for: Homeowners wanting a new grout colour and long-term protection without regrouting When to Choose It: If your grout is still intact but looks dated or doesn’t suit your current décor, ColourSeal is the ideal solution. It’s a professional-grade coating that recolours and seals grout in one step. Why It Works: ColourSeal bonds to the surface of existing grout, creating a uniform colour and a barrier that repels stains, dirt, and moisture. It not only transforms the look of your tiled area but also makes cleaning easier for years to come.

Option 3: Re-Grouting Best for: Grout that’s cracked, missing, or deteriorating. When to Choose It: If your grout is falling out, discoloured beyond cleaning, or allowing moisture through, recolouring won’t fix it. Regrouting replaces your old grout completely, restoring both the look and the integrity of your tiled area. Why It Works: GroutPro’s regrouting service removes...

The Challenge with Commercial Tiles Tiles in commercial kitchens, restaurants or cafés go through a lot. Not only the constant foot traffic of customers coming and going at all hours of the day or night, or chefs constantly on the move in the kitchen, but also the stains and wears that come from spills and cleaning. Most tiles are laid with conventional cement and sand based grout, and while this may provide the cheap and easy alternative, conventional sanded grout is very porous which allows it to absorb both solids and liquids very easily causing staining, but also providing a perfect haven for bacteria to thrive. One of the major health risks in commercial kitchens is oleic acid which is produced when frying food, and this acid together with oils and fats can flow through the grout and into cavities under the tiles where is accumulates and damages the tile adhesive and the floor they are laid on. Mopping or hosing down will only remove soil-age and bacteria from the surface but what’s absorbed below the surface remains creating a very unhygienic food source for bacteria. Over time these contaminants together with harsh cleaning products will weaken the grout, tile adhesive and substrate which will begin to fail allowing grout to fall out and tiles to become detached from the substrate. Your floors not only start to show stains, the integrity and strength of your tiled floors are compromised due to grout that just can’t cut it. How can I make commercial kitchen tiled floors last? The secret to tiled floors that last is Epoxy grout. Epoxy grout is a two part plastic resin mixed with a filler which is impervious to penetrating staining liquids and solids, and better suited for harsh cleaning products. Epoxy grout offers greater bond strength and chemical resistance than cement grout providing a surface that can be easily cleaned with conventional methods. Many fast food outlets specify epoxy grout for their floors for both maintenance cleaning and hygiene reasons. This means that not only will your floors be more hygienic and last longer, it means that you can thoroughly clean your floors more effectively without having to worry about causing damage with harsh chemicals. Epoxy Grout is your solution to longer lasting floors Epoxy grout is used in larger tiled surface areas normally in commercial applications. Business owners use Epoxy grout in public tiled areas with high levels of foot traffic because it’s durable, and easy to clean. Even home owners are starting to see the benefits of using Epoxy grout in tiled areas, particularly in showers. It is important to select the correct grade of epoxy grout as they are not all the same. Your GroutPro specialist can explain the differences and offer a suitable product for your application.
