Top 5 Signs Your Home Needs Re-Grouting

Grout may be a small detail, but it plays a big role in the look, hygiene, and durability of your home. Over time, everyday use, moisture, and cleaning chemicals can weaken your grout, causing your tiles to look old even if they’re still in good condition.

If you’ve been noticing changes in your kitchen, bathroom, or flooring, here are five clear signs it’s time to re-grout.

1️⃣ Cracks Are Starting to Form

Hairline cracks may seem harmless, but they are the first warning sign of grout aging.
Cracked grout allows water to seep underneath your tiles, leading to:

• loose tiles

• mold growth

• long-term damage to the flooring or wall

Once cracks appear, re-grouting is the best way to protect the surface before the issue spreads.

2️⃣ Grout Has Turned Yellow or Dark

Discolouration is one of the most common reasons homeowners choose to refresh their grout.
If the grout looks:

• yellow

• patchy

• stained

• uneven in colour

…even after deep cleaning, it means the material has absorbed dirt and moisture over time. Re-grouting instantly makes the space look cleaner and newer.

3️⃣ Mold Keeps Coming Back

Bathrooms and kitchens are naturally humid areas, but if mold reappears even after washing or scrubbing, it’s a sign that the grout has become porous.
Old grout absorbs water easily, creating the perfect environment for mold and mildew.

New, high-quality grout — especially epoxy — provides stronger resistance and helps maintain long-term cleanliness.

4️⃣ Tiles Feel Loose or Hollow

Loose tiles aren’t always caused by poor installation; damaged or worn-out grout can also be the reason.
When grout breaks down, tiles lose stability, creating gaps where movement happens.
If you hear a hollow sound when tapping on your tiles, it’s time to check the grout condition.

5️⃣ You Notice Gaps Between Tiles

Over the years, grout can shrink or fall out completely, leaving spaces between the tiles.
These gaps collect dirt and moisture, and can eventually lead to structural problems.
Re-grouting helps fill and secure these gaps, restoring both the look and strength of your tiled surface.
