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.
