Shower Replacement Melbourne | Tile, Grout & Silicone Preparation Specialists
Don't Install a New Shower Screen Into an Old, Tired Shower.
Replacing your shower screen is the perfect time to restore the area around it. Old silicone, stained grout and built-up contamination can become more difficult to address once the new glass is installed.
Will's Grout Cleaning works alongside Speedy Shower Screens to provide a coordinated solution for Melbourne homeowners replacing or upgrading their shower screens.
We prepare and restore the surrounding tiles, grout and silicone before the new shower screen is installed. Speedy Shower Screens then handles the shower screen measurement, supply and professional installation.
The result is a properly prepared shower and a new screen installed into a cleaner, restored foundation.

How Shower Replacement and Surface Preparation Work Together
Replacing a shower screen creates an important opportunity to assess the tiled surfaces surrounding the shower before new glass is installed.
Once an existing screen is removed, previously covered tile edges, grout lines, silicone joints and fixing areas may become accessible. Depending on their condition, these surfaces may benefit from professional cleaning, mould treatment, regrouting, silicone replacement or grout sealing before the new screen is installed.
At Will's Grout Cleaning, our role is focused on preparing and restoring the tiled shower area. We assess the condition of the tiles, grout and silicone, then recommend the appropriate restoration work based on the condition of the surface.
Speedy Shower Screens specialises in shower-screen assessment, measurement, supply and professional installation.
By coordinating the two services where appropriate, the surrounding shower surfaces can be addressed before the new screen is installed rather than trying to work around newly fitted glass and hardware.
Signs Your Shower Screen May Need Professional Assessment
Cracked or Shattered Glass
Cracked or shattered shower-screen glass should be assessed by a qualified shower-screen specialist. Damage to safety glazing can affect the integrity of the panel, and the appropriate replacement solution will depend on the screen design and affected component. Where glass damage is present, we recommend assessment by Speedy Shower Screens before coordinating any surrounding tile or grout restoration work.
Corroded or Deteriorating Frames
Shower-screen frames and hardware can deteriorate over time due to constant moisture, cleaning chemicals and wear. Corrosion, surface deterioration, damaged coatings or failing joints may indicate that repair or replacement should be assessed by a shower-screen specialist.
Broken Rollers, Hinges, or Handles
Problems with rollers, hinges, handles or other screen hardware do not always mean the entire shower screen needs replacing. The condition of the screen, frame and hardware should be assessed by a shower-screen specialist to determine whether repair or replacement is appropriate. If replacement is recommended, the surrounding tiled area can then be assessed for restoration before the new screen is installed.
Water Leaking Outside the Shower
Water escaping the shower may be caused by deteriorated silicone, screen alignment, damaged seals, grout deterioration or other underlying issues. The source should be properly assessed before deciding whether cleaning, restoration, screen repair or replacement is required.
Persistent Mould Around Seals & Joints
Persistent dark staining or mould around shower-screen seals, silicone and adjoining grout can be difficult to resolve with routine cleaning alone. The affected area should first be assessed to identify whether the contamination is limited to accessible surfaces or whether deteriorated sealant, screen components or surrounding grout also require attention. Will's Grout Cleaning can assess and treat the surrounding tile, grout and silicone surfaces. Issues involving the shower-screen seals or screen components can be referred to Speedy Shower Screens for specialist assessment.
Glass That Remains Cloudy & Stained
Mineral deposits, soap residue and repeated water exposure can leave shower glass cloudy or heavily marked over time. Some surface deposits may respond to professional glass restoration. In other cases, long-term mineral damage or surface deterioration may limit the achievable result. The glass should be assessed before deciding whether restoration or screen replacement is the more suitable option.
A Screen That No Longer Closes Properly
A shower screen that sits unevenly, does not close correctly or leaves unexpected gaps may have an issue with alignment, rollers, hinges, hardware or other screen components. A shower-screen specialist can assess the cause and determine whether adjustment, repair or replacement is appropriate. Where the surrounding tile, grout or silicone also shows deterioration, Will's can assess those surfaces as part of the preparation process.
An Outdated Screen Pulling the Bathroom Back
Replacing an older screen with a more contemporary design can significantly change the appearance of a bathroom. It can also be an ideal time to clean and restore the surrounding tile and grout so the existing surfaces better complement the new screen.
Choosing the Right Shower Screen
Shower screens are available in a range of framed, semi-frameless, frameless, sliding, hinged and fixed-panel configurations. The appropriate option depends on the shower layout, available space, existing tiled surfaces, access requirements and preferred design.
Because screen selection, glass specifications, measurement and installation sit within the shower-screen specialist's scope, we recommend discussing these requirements directly with Speedy Shower Screens.
Our focus at Will's Grout Cleaning is preparing the tiled shower area so any required restoration work can be addressed before the new screen is installed.
Why the Tiles and Grout Surrounding Your Screen Matter More Than Most People Expect
A new shower screen can transform the appearance of a bathroom, but it does not automatically restore the tiled surfaces surrounding it.
Cracked or deteriorated grout, mould-affected joints, failed silicone and heavy mineral build-up may still be present around the shower area. In some cases, portions of these surfaces are easier to access after an old screen has been removed and before the new screen is installed.
Addressing suitable restoration work during this stage can improve the overall appearance of the finished shower and reduce the need to clean or restore difficult areas around newly installed glass and hardware.
Flexible sealants such as silicone are commonly used at shower junctions and other areas where movement and water exposure make rigid grout unsuitable.
The exact work required depends on the condition of the existing tiles, grout, silicone and shower area. Our role is to assess those surfaces and recommend cleaning, regrouting, silicone replacement or sealing where appropriate.
Common Tile and Grout Problems We Solve Around Screen Replacement
Our Shower Screen Tile Preparation Services
#01Tile and Grout Deep Cleaning
Professional cleaning of compatible tiled surfaces and grout lines using surface-appropriate chemistry, controlled agitation and professional cleaning equipment to remove built-up soil and surface contamination.
#02Mould and Stain Treatment
Targeted treatment of visible mould, dark staining and affected surface contamination using products and restoration methods selected for the surface being treated. Where staining has penetrated deteriorated grout or silicone, replacement or further restoration may be recommended.
#03Grout Sealing
Application of a suitable penetrating sealer to compatible porous grout to improve resistance to moisture and staining and make ongoing maintenance easier.
#04Silicone Replacement
Removal and replacement of deteriorated silicone at suitable shower junctions using an appropriate sanitary sealant to restore a clean, flexible joint.
#05Grout Recolouring
Where suitable grout remains structurally serviceable but permanent discolouration limits the cleaning result, colour restoration or colour sealing may be considered as an alternative to full regrouting.

Enhances the visual impact
The contrast between clean, vibrant tiles and fresh grout, paired with your new screen, creates a cohesive bathroom update.
May reduce the need for difficult restoration work later
Addressing accessible tile and grout areas before installation can be more practical than working around newly installed glass and hardware.
Creates a cleaner, more cohesive shower area
Restored grout, cleaner tiles and a new screen can work together to improve the overall appearance of the shower.
