Frequently Asked Questions

Other FAQs :

• Q: What are the reasons for needing regrouting, and what are the benefits of regrouting?
• A: Regrouting offers several advantages compared to retiling and is often recommended when the tiles are in good condition but the grout is starting to deteriorate. One of the primary benefits is the significant improvement it brings to the overall appearance of any tiled area. By regrouting, you can restore that fresh and clean look at an affordable price that accommodates various budgets. Regrouting is suitable for all tiled areas, making it a versatile solution. Moreover, regrouting is a cost-effective option that requires less time compared to retiling. Additionally, it is an environmentally friendly choice as it helps reduce carbon emissions by avoiding the need for extensive retiling. Overall, regrouting provides a cost-efficient, time-saving, and environmentally conscious way to enhance the appearance and longevity of your tiled surfaces.
• Q: What is regrouting?
• A: Tile Cleaning offers a regrouting service that involves a specialized mechanical tool to remove old grout without causing any damage to the tiles. The process begins by carefully removing the existing grout, ensuring the tiles remain intact. Once the old grout is removed, the area is thoroughly cleaned to prepare it for the application of new grout. Finally, a suitable and proper new grout is applied to restore the appearance and functionality of the tiled surface. This regrouting service provided by Tile Cleaning aims to rejuvenate and enhance the overall look of the tiles while ensuring a long-lasting and durable grout application.
• Q: Is it possible to regrout both floor and wall tiles?
• A: Yes, Tile Cleaners® can perform regrouting for both floor and wall tiles. Their services are not limited to a specific type of tile installation and cover various surfaces, including both floors and walls. Whether you require regrouting for your tiled floors or walls, Tile Cleaners® can provide the necessary expertise and assistance to rejuvenate and enhance the appearance of your tiled surfaces. Their professional team is equipped to handle regrouting projects for different tile materials and can tailor their services to suit your specific needs and requirements.
• Q: How does regrouting differ from cleaning and sealing the grout?
• A: Cleaning the grout involves the use of specialized machines to remove dirt and dust, ensuring a clean surface for applying the sealer. This process eliminates any barrier layers between the grout and the sealer, allowing for effective adhesion. The sealer is then applied using appropriate tools, depending on the tile condition and setting. On the other hand, regrouting entails replacing the old grout between tiles with new grout. Tile Cleaners® utilize a mechanical tool to scrub out the old grout, followed by a thorough cleaning process. Afterward, new grout is applied between the tiles. These are distinct processes, and it's possible that after regrouting, you may still need to clean and seal the grout to ensure optimal protection and maintenance.
• Q: How can I determine when it is necessary to have regrouting done?
• A: It is important to consider regrouting as soon as signs of yellowing, mold growth, discoloration, or the grout starting to deteriorate become noticeable. While the damaged grout may not appear too severe on the surface, it can create a potentially hazardous situation behind the tiles. In some cases, the grout may be leaking water, which could be attributed to missing or cracked grout. Even small holes or hairline cracks can lead to significant issues. Therefore, it is crucial to address these issues promptly by opting for regrouting. By doing so, you can prevent further damage, maintain the integrity of the tiled surface, and mitigate any potential water damage or structural problems that may arise.
