Our Recommendation: Standard Epoxy for Most HDB Bathrooms

For 90% of HDB bathrooms, standard epoxy grout at is the sweet spot. It is waterproof, mold-proof, stain-resistant, and lasts 3x longer than cement grout. The cost per year is actually lower than cement grout.

Choose Mapei Kerapoxy if you want the absolute best finish and have a slightly higher budget. Choose Polyurea if you have water leakage issues that need a waterproof membrane in addition to grout.

Before You Decide: 3 Questions

  1. How old is your flat? Flats older than 10 years almost certainly need regrouting - cement grout has deteriorated.
  2. Do you see mold? If yes, epoxy grout is the only permanent solution.
  3. Planning to sell? Fresh epoxy grout increases perceived property value and shows buyers the home is well-maintained.
