Cement grout is more porous and can stain or discolour over time, particularly in lighter shades and heavily used areas. Epoxy is a two-part resin grout with very low water absorption and strong resistance to staining and chemicals. In showers and wet rooms, it is still the tanking system behind the tiles that provides the waterproofing. Whether you're installing large-format porcelain or tiling a bathroom, epoxy grout is a long-term option that can make maintenance easier. Epoxy starting prices are on the tiling cost calculator.

Tired of scrubbing discoloured grout with bleach? Standard cement grout acts like a sponge. It absorbs dirty mop water, grease, and bacteria — which is why it ends up going dark and patchy over time.
Epoxy grout has very low absorption and strong resistance to staining. It holds its colour far better in daily use — in most cases a quick wipe is all it needs to keep looking clean.
Why epoxy grout is worth it
- Very low water absorption and strong chemical resistance
- Highly stain-resistant and durable when correctly installed
- Ideal for light-coloured grout in kitchens and wet areas
- Low-maintenance — holds its colour well with routine cleaning
- Available in a wide range of colours
- Applied using correct technique for a clean, even finish
Epoxy Grout vs Cement Grout — What's the Difference?
Not all grout is the same. Here's a simple comparison to help you understand where epoxy grout makes a real difference — and where standard cement grout is still suitable.
| Feature | Epoxy Grout | Cement Grout |
|---|---|---|
| Stain Resistance | Highly stain-resistant | More prone to staining over time |
| Water Absorption | Very low absorption | More absorbent, depending on product |
| Durability | Very hard-wearing | Good, but can wear over time |
| Maintenance | Easy to keep clean | May need more maintenance over time |
| Colour Consistency | Consistent finish | Can vary or patch |
| Installation | More technical, specialist install | Standard install |
| Cost | Higher upfront cost | Lower upfront cost |
| Best For | Kitchens, bathrooms, high-use areas | Dry or lower-use areas |

So which one should you go for?
Cement grout still has its place. On simpler jobs or lower-use areas, it does the job just fine.
But on kitchens, bathrooms, or anywhere that's going to see daily use, epoxy grout earns its money. It is highly stain-resistant, absorbs very little water, and is easier to keep looking clean over the long term.
It does not replace the waterproofing system behind tiles in a shower or wet room — that still comes from proper tanking.
Standard grout is still a valid choice. Epoxy is the premium finish when stain resistance, low absorption and easier maintenance matter.
