Grout is often weakened, discolored, or cracked in tiled bathrooms and countertops. Often this is due to general, everyday use and age of the grout. If not corrected, this can cause damage to your tile, or like in most cases, make it look worn and aged. Before you start thinking about retiling your floor, call The Grout Medic of Northern Virginia to see if your grout can be restored with regrouting. Your tile may be regrouted and have its luster returned in as little as one visit. Removing and replacing old grout can make any tiled area look fresher and newer, not to mention providing protection against water damage.
Tiles can Often Be Saved with Professional Regrouting
Regrouting removes any damaged or weakening grout that is between your tiles and allows new grout to fully be set in place. Once grout begins to crack or separate from the tile’s border, the only solution is to remove the old grout and regrout the area. This ensures that the new grout completely adheres to the tiles, creating a healthy bond between them. To protect your tile and grout from moisture, though, will require one final step.
Grout sealing.
Benefits of Regrouting and Sealing
Because grout does not have the same glazed top that tile does, means that its porous nature will quickly collect dust, dirt, mold, and moisture. This is what gives grout an old and worn look. Common contaminants that can make you sick, including mold, mildew, and bacteria, become very difficult to remove from the grout when it’s been compromised, meaning that you’ll be exposed to these elements continuously.
Sealing your grout once it has been cleaned and repaired is essential. This will prolong the life of your tile and grout and keep them looking great for years to come.
Contact The Grout Medic of Northern Virginia if you appreciate your tile but think it may need to be changed totally.
