Eastern Melbourne ranges from leafy inner suburbs with large period homes to outer areas of established brick houses and newer estates. Many properties have several bathrooms, large tiled living areas, alfresco spaces and pools, so there is often more tile to look after than in a typical home.
Tile Restore offers tiling, pool tile repair, grouting, regrouting, silicone, resilicone and high pressure cleaning to homes across the east. We aim to match the repair to the surface, whether it is old ceramic wall tiles or stone-look porcelain in an open-plan kitchen.
What we see in Eastern Melbourne
Multiple bathrooms in larger homes
A family home in the east may have a main bathroom, an ensuite and a powder room, each ageing at a different rate. We can look at all of them in one visit and suggest which need regrouting, which only need resilicone, and which can wait.
Large floor areas and natural stone
Open living areas and entries are often finished in large-format tile or stone. Grout lines in these areas pick up traffic wear and staining, and some stone needs particular care, so we check the material before choosing a cleaning method.
Alfresco areas and backyard pools
Outdoor entertaining spaces and pool surrounds are common in the east. Weather, leaf litter and pool chemicals take a toll on grout and tile, so pool tile repair and high pressure cleaning are frequent requests.

Eastern Melbourne: common questions
Can you match existing tiles when replacing a few?
We can look for a close match, but older tiles are sometimes discontinued. If an exact match is not possible, we will explain the alternatives, such as using spares from the original job or a deliberate contrast.
Should I regrout or replace the tiles?
If the tiles are sound and the grout is the problem, regrouting is usually enough. If tiles are cracked, drummy or lifting, replacement of those tiles may be needed first. We will tell you which applies.
Do you work on natural stone?
We can work on many tile types, including stone. Some stone is sensitive to certain products, so we confirm the material before we choose how to clean or regrout it.
