If your bathroom is looking tired, worn, or a bit outdated, you might wonder whether it needs a full renovation — or just a targeted repair like regrouting and resealing. The answer depends on a few key factors, including the condition of your tiles, grout, fixtures, and waterproofing.
In this post, we’ll help you decide which option suits your bathroom — and your budget — with expert insights from the team at EXZAKT BATHROOM AND KITCHEN.
What Is Bathroom Regrouting?
Regrouting is the process of removing old, damaged grout from between your tiles and applying fresh grout to restore the appearance and waterproofing of the tiled area. It’s often followed by resealing, which adds a layer of protection against moisture and mould.
Best for:
- Minor cracks or discolouration in grout
- Mould growth in joints
- Leaking showers or baths (without major tile damage)
- Budget-friendly bathroom upgrades
What Is a Full Bathroom Renovation?
A full renovation involves completely transforming the bathroom — including replacing tiles, vanities, tapware, toilets, lighting, layout, and more. This option is ideal when there are significant functional issues or when you’re aiming for a complete style refresh.
Best for:
- Outdated or broken fixtures
- Poor layout or limited storage
- Water damage behind walls or under tiles
- Planning to sell or increase home value
How to Decide: Regrouting or Renovation?
Here’s a simple guide to help you choose:
| Issue | Recommended Solution |
|---|---|
| Grout is mouldy or cracking | Regrouting & resealing |
| Tiles are still in good condition | Regrouting |
| Shower leaks but no visible damage | Regrouting + waterproofing |
| Fixtures are old or non-functional | Full renovation |
| Layout feels cramped or outdated | Full renovation |
| Planning to sell your property soon | Renovation (for ROI) |

Why Regrouting Is a Smart First Step
If you’re not quite ready for a full renovation, regrouting is an excellent starting point. It:
- Instantly refreshes the look of your tiles
- Removes mould and prevents future growth
- Extends the life of your bathroom
- Costs a fraction of a full remodel
At EXZAKT, we use premium grout and sealing products, ensuring durability and clean finishes in wet areas.
