How Does Grout Restoration Work?

Grout is the unsung hero of tile surfaces, but over time, those crisp lines can become discolored, flaky, cracked or damaged, giving your tile a dingy look and leaving openings for water to get under the tile and do some damage. Grout restoration not only rejuvenates the look of your tiles but also prevents long-term damage caused by dirt, mold, and wear. Professional tile and grout repair rejuvenates the overall look of your tile and protects it for years to come.

When it comes to making your grout look as good as new, it’s important to know how to restore grout and tile correctly. Professional grout restoration utilizes a process that starts with a thorough review and inspection followed by the best methods to deep clean, repair and protect your grout and tile based on the type of tile and grout you have to achieve the best results and extend the life of your tiles.

Initial Inspection and Cleaning

Whether you have ceramic, natural stone, glass or porcelain tiles and sanded, unsanded, resin, epoxy or other grout types, every combination of tile and grout materials needs its own approach to ensure the tile and grout restoration not only looks good but protects your tile and grout for the future. That’s why a professional in tile and grout repair will start with a thorough inspection to assess the extent of the grime buildup and what products to use. The inspection is followed by a thorough grout cleaning, identifying any additional tile and grout repair that needs to be done. 

Grout Repair and Restoration

After cleaning, the next step is to deal with any damage identified during the cleaning process. Tile and grout restoration professionals use a variety of methods and high-quality materials to repair any cracked or missing grout before moving on to the next step in the grout refinishing process. Depending on the state of your tiles, this may also include tile repair and restoration to fix chips and gaps and protect both the tile and grout going forward.

Color Sealing and Grout Colorant Application

Grout is also part of the overall aesthetic of your room; that’s why one of the key steps in tile grout restoration is correctly color matching your existing and newly cleaned grout with the right grout colorant and sealer. Colored grout sealer not only enhances the overall appearance of your grout but it also provides a protective layer protecting your grout and tiles against future stains and moisture damage. Grout colorant and sealer come in a variety of shades, allowing your grout refinishing professional to match or change the color of your grout to complement your tile design. 

Final Inspection and Maintenance Tips

Once the tile and grout restoration process is complete, the final process is a thorough inspection to make sure all the grout seams and gaps are completely filled and sealed and finished with the right grout colorant and sealer. Professionals will provide information on protecting and cleaning your beautiful new grout and tile, such as the correct gentle products to maintain the look of your restored grout for many years to come.
