Epoxy vs. Cement Grout: Which Is Best for Your Bathroom?
Share
Choosing the right grout for your tiles is essential for maintaining a durable, waterproof, and low-maintenance bathroom. While cement grout has been a traditional choice, epoxy grout offers superior durability, stain resistance, and moisture protection. Understanding the key differences between the two will help you see why Megasealed’s epoxy grout is the best long-term solution.
What Is the Difference Between Epoxy and Cement Grout?
Epoxy grout is made from epoxy resins and filler powder, creating a non-porous, stain-resistant, and waterproof finish. Unlike cement grout, it does not require sealing, making it an excellent choice for bathrooms, kitchens, and high-moisture areas. Its durability ensures it resists cracking, discoloration, and mould growth over time.
In contrast, cement grout is a traditional mix of sand, cement, and water. While initially more affordable, it is porous and requires sealing to prevent stains and water damage. Without proper maintenance, it can absorb moisture, leading to deterioration and mould.
Which Grout Is More Durable?
When it comes to long-term durability, epoxy grout is the clear winner. Its waterproof properties protect against leaks, cracks, and stains, making it ideal for bathrooms and balconies. Unlike cement grout, epoxy doesn’t break down over time, reducing the need for repairs or regrouting.
Cement grout, while strong, is prone to cracking and moisture damage, especially in wet environments. Over time, exposure to water can weaken its structure, leading to mould growth and deterioration. If you have existing cement grout that’s showing signs of wear, professional tile regrouting can help restore its appearance and functionality.

Cost Considerations: Epoxy vs. Cement Grout
Epoxy grout comes at a higher upfront cost due to its premium properties and specialised application process. However, its longevity and minimal maintenance make it a cost-effective investment in the long run.
Cement grout is cheaper initially, making it a common choice for budget-conscious homeowners. However, its need for sealing, repairs, and eventual regrouting can lead to higher long-term expenses.
