Total Shower Refurbishment Services

A professional glass coating like Enduroshield Professional can last for years, unlike DIY coatings that require reapplication every few months. It forms an invisible barrier that repels soap scum, water stains, and mineral buildup, helping to keep your shower glass cleaner for longer.

To keep your shower glass clear, we recommend using a non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth or squeegee after each use. Avoid harsh chemicals, scouring pads, or acidic cleaners, as these can damage the surface and create more scratches. For long-term protection, a shower glass coating like Enduroshield Professional is best.

If you notice peeling, cracks, mould stains, or gaps in your shower sealant, it’s time for a professional silicone replacement. Worn-out silicone can lead to water leaks, structural damage, and costly repairs if left untreated.

This really depends on what is being replaced/restored as there are curing times between stages. The work can take anywhere from a day to 5 days, and once completed you will need to allow the products to cure for 2-3 further days.

If you have more than one shower being restored it is best to do them one at a time so you have one in operation at all times.

Silicone sealant creates a flexible, waterproof joint between tiles, walls, and glass panels in showers. Over time, it breaks down, peels, or grows mould, especially in high-moisture areas. Typically, silicone may last a couple of years in a new shower but needs to be replaced regularly in older showers.

Removing and replacing silicone is a specialist job requiring sharp blades and precision. If not done correctly, it can damage waterproofing membranes or scratch surfaces. GroutPro replaces dozens of showers’ worth of silicone every day, ensuring a clean, professional finish.

This depends on the leak and the construction of the shower.

If a shower is leaking through a wall into an adjacent room, there is a failure with the waterproofing membrane behind the tiles. This cannot be repaired without a major deconstruction of the shower and can be very costly. Simply replacing failed grout and silicone, which may look like it is waterproofed the area, is not a solution that can be guaranteed.

If the leak is within the bathroom (shower enclosure to bathroom floor), it may simply be that a silicone seal has deteriorated and needs to be replaced.

GroutPro often finds that leaks are actually attributed to plumbing failures.

The lifespan of mould-free silicone depends on daily maintenance. Moisture, heat, and soap residue create the perfect conditions for mould growth. To reduce mould buildup, we recommend:

• Use a good, energy-efficient extractor fan while showering.
• Wipe down your shower after each use to remove excess moisture.

A brand-new shower with clean, dry conditions can stay mould-free for years, but as moisture builds behind tiles over time, mould spores can spread beneath the silicone. This growth means that subsequent silicone replacements may not last as long as the original installation. On average, shower silicone should be replaced every two years, but some bathrooms may need more frequent attention.

Epoxy grout is recommended in wet areas as it is waterproof and much more resistant to staining. We regrout shower bases with Epoxy to provide the longest lasting solution. Grout on shower walls can be protected using our Colourseal grout sealer, which provides similar protection to Epoxy grout but with no regrouting required (which eliminates any chance of minor damage to the tiles).

Water spotting is caused by minerals such as calcium, lime, and iron in the water supply sticking to the microscopic pores of the glass. When water droplets are left on the surface, they evaporate, leaving behind these stubborn stains. Over time, these minerals build up and block the clarity of the glass.

Removing them requires specialist abrasive products and professional techniques to restore up to 80 - 90% shower glass clarity. However, in some cases, severely etched glass may not be fully restorable. The best way to minimise water marks is to wipe down your glass after every shower.
