We then vacuum up worked area. New tiles are applied at this point if required using rapid setting tile adhesive. Next stage is to apply new grout ( we can match existing colour or have a change ) to your shower with a new stronger grout containing a special additive which makes the grout considerably stronger and more flexible than previously. This is designed with the flexability to able to be used between the wall and floor join and complies with Aust Standards. We don't need to remove any tiles providing there are no loose or cracked tiles. Our grout is mixed with an acrylic based additive to increase the flexibility and bond strength of cement based grouts. We are so confident that it works we offer a 12 year guarantee.
