Bathroom Renovations in Wellington

This can depend on the age and type of the glass, and what chemicals have been used to try to keep it clean. Our quoting process will determine if the glass can be restored or not.

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.

A Showerdome keeps warm air inside the shower cubicle, meaning your shower feels warmer without needing to increase the water temperature. While this helps reduce energy costs, the Showerdome also ensures you’re not showering in misty, humid air – giving you a clear, pleasant experience every time

A Showerdome® is made from durable, high-quality acrylic and is designed to last a lifetime with minimal maintenance. Unlike extractor fans, which require frequent cleaning and replacement, a Showerdome doesn’t degrade over time and continues to provide steam-free showers for years to come.

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.

Unfortunately we are not magicians. You would need to find something that you are happy to live with, otherwise it may require a complete retile of the area.  It may be possible to disguise a crack or missing piece if all else fails.

Epoxy grout is a resin based grout that is waterproof and stain resistant. It is much more resistant to the harsh environment in a shower than traditional cement based grout. More difficult to install that cement based grout, many tilers do not like using it, but GroutPro are specialists in its application.

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.

Once sealed with GroutPro Colourseal, your grout becomes stainproof, meaning oils, grease, and spills (even red wine). Simply wipe it away with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. While regular cleaning is still needed, maintaining sealed grout is far easier than unsealed grout, reducing the need for harsh scrubbing.

We do not recommend Colourseal in areas that are exposed to lying water because it softens slightly when wet for long periods. This process can make it susceptible to damage if scrubbed or abraded. Shower bases (that don't get dried after each use) and outdoor patios (that can remain wet for extended periods in the winter) will be much more resilient and regrouted using epoxy grout.

Our Colourseal is very resilient but could be damaged by dogs' claws. It is an easy process to touch up damaged spots, and your GroutPro specialist can even leave you with some touch-up products for you to do this yourself.

This can be tricky to determine just by looking at it. Your GroutPro specialist will test the grout for strength and integrity and advise you if a clean and seal will be sufficient, or whether it is past its use-by date.

Great question. Most of the services The ProGroup offers require no formal qualifications, but every franchisee undergoes full training in the services they provide. Ongoing experience and a fantastic support network within the group mean that each of our team members is a true specialist at what they do.

Some of our team also offer services outside of the core ProGroup range, and some of them do require certification or specialist qualifications. In that situation, they will have the relevant recognised qualifications. For example, we have LBP builders, plumbers, stonemasons, and gasfitters on the team.

These vary depending on the service.

Typically lower value work requires full payment on completion. Product heavy work may require a deposit at time of quote acceptance, while longer term projects may require an initial deposit and progress payments along the way.

The terms of your particular situation will be discussed at time of the quote so there will be no hidden surprises.

Our specialists are all independently owned franchisees who live in your local community. Most are sole operators, who will quote the job and do the work themselves, while others may have an employee or two to help with the workload. Either way, everyone is well trained in the services they offer.

You can expect prompt, courteous, knowledgeable trades people to help with your enquiries. And all live and work within your local area.

This really depends on the extent of the renovation.

A full deconstruction and remodel including new tiles and new fixtures could cost tens of thousands of dollars. Renewing tiles in particular would require removal of all the fixtures, removal of the existing tiles (and likely the wallboard behind), re waterproofing of any wet areas, before installing the new tiles.

If the tiles themselves are able to be saved, a tidy up of the existing grout, replacement of the silicone, and restoration of the existing shower glass by GroutPro could be done for a fraction of that amount.

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.

Technically, yes, but we don't recommend it. A Showerdome traps moisture inside the shower cubicle, which works great for acrylic showers. However, tiled showers contain grout and silicone, both of which retain moisture and encourage mould growth if they stay wet for long periods.

If you have a tiled shower, a high-quality extractor fan is the best solution to manage steam and moisture buildup. For acrylic shower cubicles, a Showerdome is the perfect way to keep your bathroom steam-free, mould-resistant, and energy-efficient

Unsealed grout absorbs soap, oils, and dirt, leading to staining that can’t be removed. GroutPro Colourseal is a breathable grout recolourant and sealant that restores grout to its original colour or a new shade while also sealing it to prevent future staining.

Unlike other grout sealers, GroutPro’s Colourseal is fully breathable, making it safe for wet areas like showers, while other non-breathable products tend to peel off over time.

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.

Unless your grout has been properly sealed, it will continue absorbing dirt no matter how often you clean it. Many people use bleach or acids, but these can weaken and damage grout over time.

At GroutPro, we recommend using mild, eco-friendly cleaners and offer professional grout sealing to keep your grout looking pristine for years to come.

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).

This really depends on the extent of the damage. Small chips and cracks can be disguised so they are much less noticeable, but larger damage requires us to replace the tile.

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.
