Common questions
Do I need regrouting or silicone?
Grout is rigid, so it belongs between flat tiles. Silicone is flexible, so it belongs in corners and where tiles meet fixtures. If grout is crumbling along the floor, that is regrouting. If a corner or the edge of a bath has cracked or gone mouldy, that is silicone.
Can you fix just one corner or a few tiles?
Yes. Small repairs are part of what we do. Tell us what you can see and we will advise whether a spot repair will last or whether the surrounding area needs work too.
Which parts of Melbourne do you cover?
We work across northern, south eastern, eastern and western Melbourne and the CBD and inner city. If you are on the edge of those areas, send an enquiry and we will confirm.
