• Up Front Quotation and Estimation: After the inspection, a detailed quotation and estimation are provided to the customer. This includes the cost breakdown of various tasks involved in the makeover, giving the customer a clear understanding of the expenses.
• Selecting Method and Materials for Material Selection: The right methods and materials are crucial for a successful kitchen makeover. This step involves choosing the appropriate materials for benches, cabinetry, re-tiling, flooring, or painting. The goal is to ensure that the selected materials align with the desired outcome and durability.
• Fresh Look, Same Layout: This step focuses on achieving a new aesthetic for the kitchen without altering its existing layout. It emphasizes cosmetic changes that enhance the visual appeal and functionality of the space.
• Quality Materials Update: Quality materials are used to update different aspects of the kitchen, such as benches, cabinetry, tiling, flooring, and painting. This helps create a modern and appealing look while maintaining durability.
• Affordability, No Structure Change: Unlike structural changes, a makeover that focuses on cosmetic improvements is generally more affordable. It ensures that the core structure of the kitchen remains unchanged while achieving a refreshed appearance.
• Floor Prep, Re-grouting: The existing floor is prepared for re-grouting by cleaning and removing any debris. This step ensures a clean surface to work on for the subsequent re-grouting process.
• Remove Grout – Floor: The old grout between the floor tiles is carefully removed to make way for fresh grout. This step is essential to ensure proper adhesion and a clean finish.
• Remove Grout – Entire Floor: Similar to the previous step, this focuses on removing old grout from the entire kitchen floor area to ensure consistency in appearance.
• Remove Grout – Skirting: External skirting tiles are addressed in this step. The old grout is removed, and the surface is prepared for re-grouting.
• Replace Silicone Joints: Existing silicone tile joints are removed and replaced with fire-rated or externally suitable silicone. This helps maintain a secure and waterproof seal around tiles.
• Remove Porous Grout: Any remaining porous cement-based grout is removed, ensuring a clean substrate for the re-grouting process.
• Affordability and Structural Integrity: The advantage of maintaining structural integrity while achieving a new look is highlighted again for emphasis.
• Minimal Disruption, Daily Use: This step emphasizes that the makeover process is designed to be less disruptive, allowing the kitchen to remain accessible for daily use.
• Fast, Modern Makeover: A quick turnaround is highlighted here, showcasing that a kitchen makeover can be completed efficiently while still achieving a fresh and modern appearance.
• Trades Management: The makeover service manages all the necessary trades involved in the process, ensuring a coordinated and smooth workflow.
• Waterproof Grout Injection: The grout in the floor tiles is injected with a waterproofing solution, enhancing the floor’s water resistance and durability.
• Drummy Tile Repair: Drummy tiles (tiles that sound hollow) are addressed by injecting epoxy grout and replacing damaged tiles. Matching tiles are provided by the customer.
• Replace Broken Tiles: Any broken or damaged tiles are removed and replaced, restoring the overall appearance of the kitchen floor.
• Chipped Tile Repair: In cases where replacement tiles are unavailable, chips in tiles are repaired, ensuring a seamless surface.
• Re-grout – Epoxy Grout: The floor tiles are re-grouted using a 2-part epoxy grout, enhancing durability and aesthetics.
• Re-grout Skirting – Epoxy Grout: Similar to the floor tiles, the top edge of skirting tiles is re-grouted using a 2-part epoxy grout.
• Seal Floor Grate Junction: The junction of the floor grate and waste riser is sealed, preventing any water leaks.
• Seal Sliding Doors/Windows: Sliding doors and windows are sealed using fire-rated or externally suitable silicone to maintain waterproofing and prevent leaks.
• Turbo Deep Tile Clean: Specialized tile cleaning equipment is used for a thorough and deep cleaning of the entire tiled surface, removing efflorescence, grease, grime, mold, fungus, and dust.
• Comprehensive Surface Clean: The entire tiled surface is cleaned to ensure it is free from contaminants, creating a clean canvas for further treatments.
• Application of Clear Waterproof Coating: A clear waterproof coating is applied to the entire tiled surface, penetrating the grout and minimizing its pores. This strengthens and seals the grout while also addressing minor fractures in tile glazing.
• Dye & Pressure Test Assurance: At the completion of the makeover, the kitchen undergoes dye and pressure testing to ensure that the waterproofing and overall process have been successful and meet the desired standards.

These steps collectively outline the detailed process involved in a comprehensive kitchen makeover, from initial assessment to final quality assurance checks.
