Tile & Grout Cleaning & Regrouting — Vancouver, BC
Professional tile and grout cleaning in Vancouver for bathrooms, kitchens, showers, entries, and high-traffic floors. We lift embedded grime, soap film, oils, and mineral buildup, then protect joints with penetrating grout sealing or colour-sealing. If grout is cracked, missing, or mould-stained, we also provide tile regrouting and targeted grout repairs.
Serving Vancouver, Richmond, Burnaby, Coquitlam, Surrey & the Lower Mainland.
We clean, rinse, and neutralize so tile looks clearer and grout lines look sharper—then protect joints with a sealer matched to the space. For older installs, colour-sealing can restore grout lines to a crisp, uniform look, and regrouting replaces grout that’s cracked or failing.
Tile & Grout Cleaning in Vancouver — Restoration, Sealing & Regrouting Options
Dull grout, patchy joints, and cloudy tile can make clean rooms look tired. We provide tile and grout cleaning in Vancouver for bathrooms, kitchens, showers, foyers, lobbies, locker rooms, and commercial areas across Metro Vancouver and the Lower Mainland. Our process focuses on deep cleaning to lift embedded soils, followed by penetrating grout sealing or colour-sealing for longer-term protection and easier maintenance. If grout is cracked, missing, or failing, we can also discuss regrouting for a true reset.
Why Professional Tile & Grout Restoration Beats DIY
Grout is porous. Routine mopping and household cleaners can brighten the surface, but deeper pores keep holding oils, soap film, and minerals. Over time grout darkens, tile loses clarity, and scrubbing gets harder. We remove embedded residue, rinse and neutralize to reduce haze, then protect grout so it stays cleaner longer.
When You Need Regrouting (Not Just Cleaning)
Cleaning improves appearance and hygiene, but it can’t “repair” grout that’s cracked, missing, or crumbling. If you’re searching for tile regrouting, shower regrouting, or grout repair, these are common signs regrouting may be the right fix.
- ✓Cracked or missing grout — joints are breaking down or falling out.
- ✓Persistent staining — grout stays blotchy even after proper cleaning.
- ✓Shower corners failing — recurring mildew/odour at movement points (needs proper sealant strategy).
- ✓Loose or hollow tiles — may indicate substrate/bond issues (inspection needed).

Our Tile & Grout Restoration Process
The goal is always the same: lift embedded soils, neutralize the surface, then seal for longevity. Here’s what you can expect:
1) Assessment & testing
We identify tile type, grout condition, soil level, and prior coatings. A test confirms the best approach.
- Tile + grout type confirmed
- Spot test before full service
2) Pre-clean & targeted treatment
Residues are loosened with stone-safe, neutral chemistry. Stains are treated based on their source.
- Organic, oil, mineral stains
- Controlled dwell time
3) Agitation & detail work
Edges, corners, thresholds, and drain areas are detailed. Joints are opened for better soil release.
- Corner + perimeter detailing
- Even tone and cleaner lines
4) Rinse & neutralize
Surface pH is balanced so no soapy film or haze remains — key for clarity and better sealer bond.
- Cleaner finish
- Better sealing performance
5) Dry-down & inspection
We allow proper drying and inspect for remaining discoloration before protection is applied.
- Confirm readiness for sealing
- Touch-ups if required
6) Seal, colour-seal, or regrout plan
Choose sealing for invisible protection, colour-sealing for uniform lines, or regrouting when joints are failing.
- Penetrating grout sealer
- Colour-seal (uniform look)
- Regrout options (as needed)
Sealing vs Colour-Sealing (Which One Fits?)
Grout Sealing (Invisible Protection)
Penetrating sealer fills microscopic pores and keeps a natural look.
- Helps prevent darkening from oils and residue
- Easier routine cleaning
- Best when grout tone is consistent after cleaning
Colour-Sealing (Uniform “New Grout” Look)
When grout is permanently blotchy or stained, colour-sealing delivers an even line and durable protection.
- Masks set-in discoloration cleaning can’t remove
- Uniform tone for a modern reset
- Great for high-traffic strata corridors and lobbies
Simple Maintenance Plan
Home & Condo
- Daily / After use: wipe splash zones; squeegee showers.
- Weekly: clean with a neutral pH product.
- Monthly: inspect corners/edges; refresh silicone if needed.
- Every 12–24 months: schedule a professional refresh (as needed).
We provide aftercare guidance tailored to your tile and grout type.
Stone-Safe Do’s & Don’ts
- Use microfiber and soft brushes; avoid scouring pads on polished stone.
- Never use vinegar/lemon/harsh acids on marble or limestone (etching risk).
- Rinse away residue to prevent films that attract soil.
- For businesses: ask about a scheduled care plan aligned with off-hours.

How long does tile and grout cleaning take?
Many residential rooms are completed in a single visit. Larger strata and commercial spaces can be phased by floor or zone. Dry time depends on the room and whether sealing/colour-sealing is included.
Is your process safe for natural stone (marble, limestone, travertine)?
Yes—when stone is present we use a stone-safe, neutral approach and controlled methods. Acidic DIY cleaners can etch or dull sensitive stone.
What’s the difference between sealing, colour-sealing, and regrouting?
Sealing is invisible protection for grout that looks consistent after cleaning. Colour-sealing creates a uniform grout colour and adds protection for blotchy grout. Regrouting replaces failing grout that’s cracked, missing, or crumbling.
Will cleaning remove all grout stains?
Many stains lift with proper restoration, but some discoloration is permanent. If joints remain patchy after cleaning, colour-sealing is the best way to reset the look and protect the grout.
Do you handle shower regrouting and grout repair in Vancouver?
Yes. If shower grout is cracking, missing, or staying dark around corners, we’ll assess whether cleaning + sealing is enough or if a regrouting plan is the better fix.
Do you offer after-hours service for businesses?
Yes. For strata and commercial facilities, we can schedule after-hours or weekend work to reduce disruption, and coordinate signage and access.
