Full Shower Refurbishment – Hamilton
The Brief
This homeowner in Te Rapa absolutely loved their groovy lime green shower. It was bold, bright, and the centrepiece of their bathroom. But over time, the glass turned cloudy, the silicone went black and mouldy, and some of the grout started crumbling away.
They were looking for a full shower restoration that would refresh the tiles, grout, and glass to look as good as new while protecting it from future damage. That’s when they called us in to see if we could save their lime green statement piece.

The ProGroup Solution
This shower didn’t need a full renovation. A proper cleaning and some targeted restoration were enough to make it look brand new again. Here’s how we made it happen:
Deep Cleaning and Mould Removal:
We kicked things off with a deep clean of the tiles to remove all the organic matter, oils, mould, and mineral deposits that had built up over the years.
Epoxy Grout Replacement in the Shower Base:
The grout in the shower base was crumbling and letting water seep underneath, which is never a good sign. We carefully removed the old cement-based grout and replaced it with waterproof epoxy grout.
Silicone Replacement:
The silicone around the shower was black, mouldy, and peeling away. We carefully removed all the old silicone and replaced it with anti-mould, waterproof silicone in a fresh white finish. This gave the shower those clean, sharp lines that made everything look brand new again.
Glass Restoration:
The glass shower screen had turned cloudy from years of mineral deposits in the water. We used a special glass restoration process to remove the etching and water stains, bringing back clarity and shine. It was like peeling back the years, revealing the bright, clear glass underneath.
The Finished Floor
The homeowners were absolutely thrilled. They were amazed at how fresh and modern the shower looked without replacing a single tile. It kept its bold, retro vibe but looked brand new. The lime green tiles were bright and vibrant again, the grout was crisp, and the glass screen was crystal clear.
And the best part? It only took a couple of days, and the shower was ready to use straight away – no costly renovations or weeks of disruption needed.
