GroutGleam — The UK's Leading Grout Recolouring Franchise
Part of the GleamWork Group. No Royalties. From £395/month
Professional grout recolouring that delivers the dramatic before-and-after result customers phone their friends about before you've even packed up. Eight years established. 80+ franchisees. No royalties — ever.
And grout is just the way in. As part of the GleamWork group, GroutGleam opens the door to two further surface-care brands — so the same customers become worth more, and almost every new franchisee in 2026 has taken a second machine from the start. More on that below.
From £4,740 inc VAT (£395/month, 0% finance). No previous experience required. Owner-operator model with full training.
Our franchisees come from everywhere — facilities management, sales, teaching, hairdressing, the army, office jobs they'd outgrown. What they share isn't a background, it's an attitude: they take pride in doing things properly and want to build something genuinely theirs.
"We're delighted with our choice to join GroutGleam. Everything we were told in the discovery process has been true to its word, and the starter pack and training were excellent. Our first full month saw us hit £3,000 in sales across 7 jobs, and month 2 sits at £5,450 — and we're only halfway through. If you're looking for a high-demand business with strong margins, then look no further." — Elliot, GroutGleam franchisee (1st month May 2026, 2nd month June 2026)
"I secured a 64-bedroom hotel with GroutGleam, earning £500 per room — totalling £32,000." — Louis Maguire, GroutGleam franchisee
There's strong demand for grout recolouring once people know it exists — and that's the opportunity. The franchisees who get out, create local awareness and build a base of repeat-and-referral customers can build a substantial full-time income. Results aren't guaranteed — they depend on your effort, your local market and how well you get the word out — but the demand is real and waiting to be tapped.

Here's the opportunity in a nutshell: grout recolouring delivers a dramatic, genuinely impressive result — and many people don’t know the service even exists. A few others offer something similar, but none at our scale, and the market is nowhere near saturated, unlike many franchised markets. That's the open goal: demand is strong once people know it's an option, and your job is to be the one who makes them aware.
This isn't a business where customers magically appear — the franchisees who do best are the ones who get out, make some noise locally, and put the service in front of people. Do that, and the results sell themselves: the transformation is so striking that customers refer you and come back - they have more rooms with tiles & grout! It rewards energy and visibility, which is exactly why it suits people who like to get stuck in rather than wait for the phone to ring.
And because we charge no royalties, every pound of revenue above your costs belongs to you. A single flat management fee of just £95+VAT per month from month 4 of trading is all that leaves your business. For a franchise, that's genuinely unusual — and it means franchisees who work hard keep what they earn.
Being told to "make noise locally" sounds daunting until you see how much we do with you and for you. You bring the energy; we provide the kit, the setup and the marketing firepower.
Everything you need to start working:
Whatever marketing material you need — flyers, adverts, social posts, videos, on-page or off-page — our designer creates it for you, whenever you need it, at no extra cost. If you're not a "marketing person," this is the difference-maker, a game changer. You never have to design a thing or pay an agency. You ask, it gets made.
The only thing we don't cover is your local advertising spend — that's yours to invest in your own area, where you know best how to reach customers. Everything that goes into that advertising, we'll build for you.
Here's what makes GroutGleam different from a one-trick franchise. Grout recolouring gets you in the door — it's the dramatic, in-demand service customers come looking for. But once you're in someone's home, the opportunity doesn't stop there.
You have the option to expand into our eco-system, with two further standalone brands under our GleamWork umbrella, each with its own equipment and its own income stream. The point isn't just "more services" — it's that every customer becomes worth more. The grout job opens the conversation; the add-ons multiply what each visit earns you, without multiplying your marketing cost:
It's why, in 2026, almost all new GroutGleam franchisees have taken a BioSteam machine alongside their franchise from the start. Once you see how the two services work together — restore the grout, sanitise the whole area — adding it is the obvious move.
For a limited time, GroutGleam franchisees can add a second or third brand for just the cost of the equipment — no additional franchise fee.
This offer won't last, and our GroutGleam LITE price rises by the end of July — from £3,950+VAT to £4,900+VAT.
Joining now means getting in at today's rate and building the full multi-brand business while the equipment-cost-only deal still stands.

GroutGleam just got better — the same customers, worth more
Here's what makes GroutGleam different from a one-trick franchise. Grout recolouring gets you in the door — it's the dramatic, in-demand service customers come looking for. But once you're in someone's home, the opportunity doesn't stop there.
You have the option to expand into our eco-system, with two further standalone brands under our GleamWork umbrella, each with its own equipment and its own income stream. The point isn't just "more services" — it's that every customer becomes worth more. The grout job opens the conversation; the add-ons multiply what each visit earns you, without multiplying your marketing cost:
- BioSteam: Chemical-Free Steam Sanitisation. 10-bar pressure at 190°C, proven to clinical standards. Safe for children, pets and every surface. When you restore someone's grout and sanitise to clinical standards, you've delivered something no cleaning company can match — and you've turned one job into two. Who wouldn’t pay that little extra to have the job completed with a full room surface sanitation. Not to mention all the other service/solutions you can offer with our machine.
- RotaGleam: All-Surface Cleaning, Indoor & Out. Counter-rotating brush technology that cleans every hard surface without pressure washing — both outdoors and indoors. One machine. Patio, decking & artificial grass* outside. Carpet, natural stone, tile, laminate and wooden flooring inside.
*Our machine brushes, collects debris, disinfects and scrub-cleanses artificial grass in a single pass. FYI - the artificial-grass maintenance market is growing at over 11% per year and is dramatically underserved (this could be a standalone franchise!).
It's why, in 2026, almost all new GroutGleam franchisees have taken a BioSteam machine alongside their franchise from the start. Once you see how the two services work together — restore the grout, sanitise the whole area — adding it is the obvious move.
