Congratulations...Thank you for taking the first step in finding out more about a GroutPro franchise. If you are looking for a niche business opportunity, satisfaction and real rewards, with very low risk, low entry costs and high profit margins, then the GroutPro business ticks all your boxes. With potential for more than 50% return on your investment annually, we offer more than double the return expected from businesses of this type.

Tile and Grout is everywhere, it has become the surface of choice in homes for bathrooms, kitchen surfaces, entertainment areas, etc. Without proper protection and sealing at the outset, and proper continual maintenance, porous tiles and grout becomes dirty and bacteria laden. Grout and porous surfaces will eventually turn black and look terrible. I am sure you have seen a great looking tiled floor spoiled by dirty, stained or damaged grout. Look around, you’ll see it everywhere. No matter how hard people scrub or buy “wonder” chemicals to try and clean the grout, because of its porosity and make up it will never come clean. This problem is the same for both new homes and older homes with tiled floors, including outdoor surfaces as well. There is a HUGE and virtually untapped market for tile and grout restoration.

GroutPro has developed an innovative system to restore porous tiles and dirty stained grout to look brand new again. We use a specially formulated solution, an intensive cleaning process to extract the dirt from deep inside the pores of the tiles and grout. We then seal the surfaces by using clear sealer on tiles and grout or our revolutionary GroutPro ColourSeal process on just the grout which can change the whole look of the room.

The GroutPro business system has been designed to offer a low entry cost, low overheads, low competition, high profit margin franchise business. This business is ideal for anyone looking for a way out of the 9 to 5 grind, t o break out on their own and enjoy the freedom that business ownership offers. The business can be started small, and built to a substantial business with multiple vans and multiple territories.

Already a multimillion dollar industry in the United States, the UK and Europe, the demand in the Australian market for tile and grout restoration services is experiencing very rapid growth. With GroutPro being Australia’s largest specialised tile and grout restoration company, you will be in a strong position to capitalise on this great opportunity. More & more people are deciding to stay in their current homes and renovate to add value and appeal rather than building new. That coupled with the affordable nature of the work, GroutPro business owners are in the fortunate position of being in “The Right Place At The Right Time” to benefit from this very exciting business opportunity.
