One Corridor, Two Kinds of Grout Trouble
This corridor runs at two speeds. At one end, Caroline Springs' planned estates around Lake Caroline are fifteen to twenty-five years old — first-regrout age — and the brand-new homes in Plumpton and Cobblebank are cracking early as their slabs settle. At the other end, Melton's older homes have bathrooms on their second or third lot of grout, with tiles and joints that have worked hard for decades.
The fix is the same either way, and it starts with the joints, not the tiles: we cut out the failed grout and rebuild it to proper depth, so the bathroom comes back watertight without a renovation. Our grouting repairs in Caroline Springs and Melton cover showers, floors, laundries and balconies right across the corridor — Burnside and Hillside included.

Shower Regrouting in Caroline Springs & Melton
Cracked, stained or mouldy shower grout? A shower regrout replaces it — and the old silicone — in one visit, tiles left in place. Whether it's a fifteen-year-old ensuite near the lake or a Melton bathroom that's already been regrouted once, we take the joints back to a sound base and rebuild them properly.

Leaking Shower Repair in Caroline Springs & Melton
Most homes in this corridor 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
Sun, wind and movement work outdoor joints hard in the west, and the grout and silicone at the door sill and balcony edges are usually the first to fail. Balcony regrouting in Caroline Springs and Melton fixes failed joints 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.
Porches and Entries
The odd loose tile re-fixed and joints regrouted where suitable — we tell you if it needs relaying.
Relaying a whole balcony or alfresco is a bigger job — we'll tell you if yours needs it. More on balcony leak repairs.
Areas We Cover Around Caroline Springs
Caroline Springs 3023 plus Burnside, Hillside, Plumpton, Melton, Melton South and Cobblebank. One page, one crew, same week.
Melton 3337
Regrouting in Melton
The established town at the end of the corridor — homes from the 1970s onward whose bathrooms are on their second or third lot of grout. Tiles are usually still sound; the joints are not. We regrout showers, floors and balconies across Melton, and replace the odd cracked tile while we're there.
Melton South 3338
Regrouting in Melton South
South of the railway station, Melton South's older homes have bathrooms at the same stage: failed grout, perished silicone and leaks showing up in the room next door. We regrout and reseal them without pulling tiles — and tell you straight if the waterproofing underneath has gone.
Burnside 3023
Regrouting in Burnside
The established pocket between Caroline Springs and Deer Park — 1990s and 2000s homes whose original grout is now at the end of its life. Ensuites, main bathrooms and laundries all wear on the same clock, so Burnside owners usually have us do the set in one visit.
Hillside 3037
Regrouting in Hillside
Bigger blocks and older family homes, with bathrooms to match. Hillside showers and floors get the same treatment: failed grout cut out to depth, rebuilt properly, silicone renewed — no tile removal on most jobs.
Plumpton 3338
Regrouting in Plumpton
Some of Melbourne's newest estates — and some of its youngest grout problems. Builder grout that went in thin cracks early as new slabs settle. We regrout Plumpton showers and bathrooms to proper depth so the fix outlasts the house's first decade.
Cobblebank 3338
Regrouting in Cobblebank
Melton's newest growth area, around the new station. The pattern is the same as Plumpton: early joint failure in nearly-new bathrooms. Shower regrouting, resealing and balcony joints — done once, done properly.

Caroline Springs & Melton Regrouting FAQs
My Melton home is 40 years old. Can the grout still be replaced without retiling?
Usually, yes — if the tiles themselves are sound and well bonded, we cut out the failed grout and replace it, whatever the bathroom's age. If tiles are loose or drummy, or the waterproofing beneath has failed, regrouting alone won't hold and we'll tell you that honestly before quoting.
My Plumpton home is only a few years old and the shower grout is already cracking. Why?
It's common in new estates: builder grout goes in fast and thin, and a new slab keeps moving slightly as it settles, so joints crack and silicone lets go within a few years. Regrouting to proper depth with the right grout fixes it for the long term — you're not doing anything wrong.
Do you cover Melton and Melton South, or just Caroline Springs?
The whole corridor: Caroline Springs, Burnside, Hillside, Plumpton, Melton, Melton South and Cobblebank. One page, one crew, the same regrouting standard in a 1970s Melton bathroom or a brand-new Cobblebank one.
How can I tell if it's the grout or the waterproofing?
If water only appears after the shower runs and the grout or silicone is cracked, it's usually the surface. If walls or floors stay damp, tiles are loose or the leak continues after a reseal, the membrane may have failed. We check before we quote.
Can you match the grout colour in my older bathroom?
Cement and epoxy grout both come in a range of colours, and we'll match your existing grout as closely as we can. On older bathrooms a full regrout in a fresh colour usually looks better than patching one section — we'll show you the options when we quote.
Should I choose epoxy or cement grout for my main bathroom?
Epoxy grout resists water and staining far better than cement grout and never needs sealing, so it suits the shower your family uses every day. Cement grout with a penetrating sealer is the standard option and costs less. We'll tell you which suits each room.
