Regrouting Across the Mitchell Shire
This hub covers two ends of Victorian housing at once. Kilmore is one of the state's oldest inland towns, with heritage cottages whose bathrooms have outlived every renovation around them. Down the road, Wallan is filling with brand new estates whose builder grout is failing before the houses are five years old. Old grout and thin grout end up in the same place, leaking, cracked and mouldy, and both fix the same way.
Our grouting repairs in Kilmore start with the joints, not the tiles: we cut out the failed grout and rebuild it to proper depth. You can see exactly how a job runs on our process page, in a heritage cottage off Sydney Street or a new estate home in Wallan, the method is the same.

Shower Regrouting in Kilmore
Cracked, stained or mouldy shower grout? A shower regrout replaces it, and the old silicone, in one visit, tiles left in place. In Kilmore's older cottages we take the extra care original tiles deserve; in Wallan's new builds we regrout to the depth the builder should have in the first place.
What a Groutix Shower Regrout Includes
- 1Old grout cut out to depth, not painted over, hand care around older tiles.
- 2Shower, floor and wall grout done together if you want a matching finish.
- 3Old silicone stripped and replaced, not layered over.
- 4Your choice of cement grout with sealer, or epoxy grout.

Tile Regrouting for Floors, Laundries and Kitchens
Floor grout wears fastest in the rooms you use most, and country homes track in more grit than most. Tile regrouting in Kilmore covers bathroom floors, laundries and kitchen splashbacks right through the house, cut out and replaced, without retiling.
Bathroom Floors
Tired, stained floor grout cut out and replaced so the whole room matches.
Laundries
Floors and splashbacks that take water and farm boots every day, regrouted to last.
Kitchen Splashbacks
Stained or cracked grout behind the sink and cooktop refreshed.
A Few Cracked Tiles
Two or three cracked tiles replaced and regrouted, matched as closely as we can.

Leaking Shower Repair in Kilmore
Most homes across the shire are single storey, so a leaking shower shows up beside the bathroom, not below: swollen skirting in the hallway, damp carpet in the bedroom next door, a musty smell that won't shift. We find where the water is escaping, fix the grout and seals, and tell you straight if it's a membrane or plumbing problem instead.
Swollen Skirting
Skirting or door frames swelling on the other side of the shower wall.
Damp Carpet Next Door
Carpet or underlay staying damp in the room beside the bathroom.
Musty Smell
A damp smell in the bedroom or hallway that cleaning won't shift.
Cracked Base Grout
Gaps where the shower floor meets the walls.
How We Tell Grout From Membrane
We check the grout, silicone and tiles for cracks, gaps and movement before we quote. If the waterproofing under the tiles has failed, regrouting alone won't fix it, and we'll say so. Under NCC 2022, shower walls must be waterproofed to at least 1,800 mm. More on leaking shower repair.
Balconies, Alfrescos and Outdoor Tiles
Country weather works outdoor joints hard, frost, heat and driving rain cycling through the same grout, on verandahs and balconies that cop all of it. Balcony regrouting in Kilmore fixes failed joints at the door sill and edges before tiles loosen and water gets underneath, and from a balcony, that water usually ends up in the room below.
Balconies
Failed grout and silicone at the door sill and edges cut out, resealed and regrouted with outdoor grade grout.
Alfresco Areas
Washed out or cracked joints regrouted so outdoor tiles stop rocking and water stays out.
Verandahs and Entries
Tiled verandah and entry joints regrouted, the odd loose tile re fixed where suitable, we tell you if it needs relaying.
Relaying a whole balcony or verandah is a bigger job, we'll tell you if yours needs it. More on balcony leak repairs.
Areas We Cover Around Kilmore
Kilmore 3764 plus Wallan, Wandong, Whittlesea and the Macedon Ranges edge towns of Lancefield, Romsey and Woodend.
Wallan 3756
Regrouting in Wallan
One of the fastest growing towns in the state, estates full of near new homes whose builder grout is already cracking as slabs settle. We regrout Wallan showers and bathrooms to proper depth so the fix outlasts the home's first decade.
Wandong 3758
Regrouting in Wandong
A small town under the ranges, acreage homes and new family builds off the highway north. Bathrooms here run from farmhouse originals to near new estate ensuites, and both end up with the same cracked joints and perished silicone. Shower regrouting and resealing, done once, done properly.
Whittlesea 3757
Regrouting in Whittlesea
A proper country town, older weatherboard and brick homes with bathrooms that have worked hard for decades. Sound tiles get regrouted and resealed; drummy or drifting tiles get an honest verdict on whether regrouting will hold.

Kilmore Regrouting FAQs
Do you travel out to Kilmore and Wallan?
Yes. Kilmore and Wallan are core parts of our northern service area, not an exception. Groutix regrouts across Kilmore, Wallan, Wandong, Whittlesea, Bylands, Hidden Valley, Eden Park and Yan Yean, and out to Lancefield, Romsey, Tylden and Woodend. Quotes are free, and the price is confirmed before any work starts.
How much does shower regrouting cost in Kilmore?
Most standard single showers cost about $550 to $1,500 to regrout. The price depends on the size of the shower, the tile type and the condition of the grout. Send us photos of the shower for a free exact quote before any work starts, and complete regrouting is backed by a 10 year waterproof warranty.
Why is the builder grout cracking already in our new Wallan home?
Wallan estate homes were finished fast with builder grade cement grout, and the area's soils move with the seasons, so joints crack and silicone lets go within the first few years. A proper regrout with quality grout and flexible silicone at the movement joints fixes it for the long term.
Can you regrout a heritage cottage shower without damaging the old tiles?
Yes. In old Kilmore homes we work joint by joint with care around original tiles, cut the failed grout out and rebuild it, so the tiling survives and looks like itself again. Tiles are only disturbed if one is already loose or drummy.
Will regrouting fix our leaking shower, or has the membrane failed?
Regrouting fixes leaks caused by cracked grout and perished silicone, which is most leaking showers we see around Kilmore and Wallan. If the waterproofing membrane has failed, regrouting alone will not stop the leak, and we will tell you straight before any work starts.
Epoxy or cement grout in a cold, frosty climate?
Kilmore sits high on the southern slopes of the ranges and gets proper frosts and damp winters. Epoxy grout is non porous, so damp and mould have nowhere to live, and it never needs sealing. Cement grout with a penetrating sealer costs less and suits drier rooms. We will recommend honestly for each bathroom.
Water is seeping into the bedroom next to our shower. What is happening?
Water is getting through failed grout or silicone at the shower base and tracking under the tiles into the next room, a pattern we see often in Wallan estate homes. It will not fix itself, and the longer it runs the more it damages the floor. A regrout and reseal stops the water at the source.
How long does a shower regrout take?
Most showers are finished in a single visit, which matters when we are travelling out to you. Before we start, we tell you exactly when the shower can be used again, so there are no surprises.
Who do I call for a shower leak, a plumber or a regrouter?
If a pipe, tap or drain is leaking, call a plumber. If water is getting through the grout and silicone joints, which is the more common cause, that is regrouting work. If you are not sure, send us photos and we will tell you honestly which trade you need.
How long will a regrout last?
A proper regrout, with the old grout fully removed and the joints rebuilt, is made to last for years, and eligible complete shower regrouting is backed by our 10 year waterproof warranty. Cheap surface jobs that smear new grout over old are the ones that fail early, which is why we never do them.
