Professional grout cleaning - discoloured and blackened grout restored to original colour. Tiles transformed, bathroom or kitchen looking fresh again.
Grout Makes or Breaks Tiles
You can have beautiful tiles, but if the grout is black and grotty, the whole floor or wall looks filthy. Clean grout transforms the entire appearance.
💡 Pro tip: Cleaning is always worth trying before regrouting. Often the grout isn't stained - just dirty. Much cheaper to clean than replace.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can black grout be cleaned?
Usually yes - what looks permanent is often mould and dirt that responds to proper cleaning. Truly stained grout may need regrouting, but worth trying cleaning first.
Is grout cleaning just bleach?
We use appropriate cleaners for each situation - sometimes bleach-based, sometimes specialist grout cleaner. Different grout types and stains need different approaches.
How long will clean grout stay clean?
Depends on use and ventilation. Bathroom grout with poor ventilation may discolour in months. Good ventilation and regular maintenance keeps it looking good for years.
Should I seal grout after cleaning?
Recommended. Sealed grout resists staining and is easier to maintain. We can apply sealer after cleaning if you want - small extra cost for worthwhile protection.
