If your shower grout is cracking, crumbling, staining, or going missing in patches, you’re probably wondering what it will cost to fix it. Regrouting is one of the most effective ways to restore a tired bathroom and stop a leaking shower — and it costs a fraction of what a full retile would set you back.
But getting a straight answer on price online is frustrating. Most websites give ranges so wide they’re useless, or they bury the cost behind a “call for a quote” button. At Mr Grout, we believe in transparent pricing. This guide gives you the most honest breakdown of shower regrouting costs we can provide — based on 27 years of doing this work across Brisbane and the Gold Coast every single day.
Why Shower Regrouting Costs Vary
There’s no single price for regrouting a shower because every shower is different. The factors that most significantly affect cost are:
- Size of the shower: Square meterage of tiled surface is the primary cost driver. A small ensuite shower takes less time and material than a large walk-in shower with floor-to-ceiling tiles.
- Condition of the existing grout: Grout that is surface-level stained or lightly cracked is quicker to remove than grout that is deeply crumbled, hardened, mould-saturated, or missing in large sections requiring extra preparation.
- Grout type selected: Epoxy grout costs more than standard cement grout per square metre, but it lasts significantly longer and is far more resistant to water and staining. For wet areas, epoxy is always our recommendation.
- Scope of work: A full regrout (all surfaces) is priced differently from a partial regrout targeting specific failing areas. Many jobs also include perimeter silicone replacement, which is usually recommended alongside regrouting.
- Tile type and joint size: Large-format tiles with wide joints are faster to work on. Small mosaic tiles or narrow joints require more precision and time.
Typical Shower Regrouting Price Ranges
Rather than publish meaningless price ranges, we’ll tell you honestly how we approach pricing and what you can expect based on job type:
A partial regrout targeting a specific problem area — such as the shower floor, a section of wall tiles, or the base perimeter — is the most cost-effective option when the rest of the shower is in reasonable condition. It’s also the right approach for property managers dealing with a specific complaint in a rental property.
A full shower regrout covers all tiled surfaces — floor, walls, recesses, and any ledges. This is the right choice when grout deterioration is widespread, when you want a consistent finish across the whole shower, or when the existing grout is beyond spot-repair. Most standard Queensland shower recesses can be fully regrouted in one day.
A full regrout and silicone replacement combines complete grout removal and replacement with fresh silicone at all perimeter joints, corners, and movement zones. This is the most comprehensive option and delivers the longest-lasting result. We recommend it for any shower that has been leaking.

Epoxy Grout vs Standard Grout: Is the Extra Cost Worth It?
This comes up on almost every job. The short answer: yes, epoxy grout is worth the extra cost in shower applications — especially in Queensland.
Standard cement grout is porous. In a humid bathroom environment, it absorbs moisture, becomes a breeding ground for mould, and eventually deteriorates. Cement grout in a Queensland shower will typically need attention somewhere between 5 and 10 years after installation, depending on use and ventilation.
Epoxy grout is non-porous. It doesn’t absorb water, doesn’t harbour mould in the same way, and maintains its colour and structural integrity significantly longer. Our shower grout repair team backs epoxy grout work with a warranty of up to 5 years — a warranty we can only stand behind because of how durable the product is.
When you factor in the total cost over time — regrout every 5–7 years with cement grout versus potentially 10–15 years with epoxy — the premium for epoxy becomes much easier to justify. And for a leaking shower specifically, using a product that will need replacing in 5 years defeats the purpose of fixing it properly now.
What’s Included in a Professional Shower Regrout?
Not all regrout quotes are equal. Some tradespeople apply new grout on top of old grout — a shortcut that fails within months because the new grout has nothing solid to bond to. Professional regrouting involves:
- Complete removal of existing grout using oscillating tools and precision equipment that protect tiles from scratching or chipping
- Surface preparation and cleaning to remove any residue, mould, or adhesive contamination from the joints
- Professional application of new epoxy grout to the correct depth and coverage, using techniques that ensure full joint penetration
- Silicone replacement at all movement joints (perimeter, corners, around the waste)
- Cleanup and inspection before signing off on the job
Every job our team completes — whether it’s a grout removal in Brisbane or a full regrout on the Gold Coast — follows this process. We don’t cut corners because we back our work with a warranty.
