“Tile marks and 40-year-old grout that was impossible to clean! Now they look brand new!”

“An expert who isn’t giving you the runaround or a short-term fix that will cost more in the long run.”

Once the water’s in, it doesn’t go anywhere; it just builds up between the tiles and the waterproof membrane, and ultimately rots your timbers, causing structural damage to your home. You’ve only got a short window where balcony tile regrouting can fix it. Leave it too long, and you’re up for a full rebuild, which could cost $25k+ for the balcony alone (fixing structural damage is another story).

Water damage

Water damage to door frames and skirting boards.

Deteriorating grout

Grout that flakes or powders away when scratched.

Moisture issues

There are water stains or bubbling on the nearby walls..

Returning mould

The mould just keeps coming back, no matter what you do.

Build-up

Chalky white residue forming along the grout joins.

Shifting tiles

The tiles are lifting up, shifting, or feeling a bit spongy.

Cement grout is porous; it isn’t waterproof. Epoxy is. Most people don’t realise how big the difference is… until they’ve paid for both.

A rushed cement grout job

(AKA basic balcony leak “repair”)

A quality epoxy job

(AKA how we do it at Save & Seal)

Skim a few mm off the top of the old grout

Cut out all the grout, down to the depth of the tile

“Re-seal” with just a surface layer of grout, leaving water trapped underneath

Use a wet vac to remove trapped moisture before full-depth regrouting

Use cement-based grout (not waterproof)

Use a two-part epoxy resin (100% waterproof)

Apply sealer from a spray can that can wash off within 30 days

No sealer needed – epoxy seals it fully from within

Looks good at first – but you’ll probably be redoing it in 12 months

Done right once, with a genuinely waterproof solution and zero shortcuts

You’re not alone. Most leaking balcony repairs in Melbourne cut corners and leave you with the same problem a year down the track. That’s not how we roll.

The industry standard

The Save & Seal standard

Hard to get a proper response – then they rush the quote and confuse you with jargon

Friendly follow-up, plain-English quoting, and booked within 48 hours

Might “fix it” even if they know it’s beyond repair

Will tell you when regrouting isn’t the right fix

Often a franchise that hires subcontractors paid per job – incentivising rushed work

A family business with an in-house team that takes the time to do it properly

Might leave your place looking like a worksite

Treat your home like their own

No real aftercare – once it’s done, they’re gone

Back to you within the day to fix any issues

Give a 10-year warranty but make it easy to void (e.g. by only allowing specific cleaning products)

Actually deliver a 10+ year waterproof result, backed by a 10-year warranty that’s realistic
