Tiled areas in Albury need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
Surface by surface
Corners and edges
Corners flex as the building moves, so we seal them rather than grout them.
Shower walls
Showers put more water on grout than anywhere else. We rake it out and regrout and renew the silicone at the edges.
Regrouting in Albury, done properly
Across Albury, we regrout tiled showers, bathrooms and kitchens. Out comes the old grout, the joints are cleaned and new grout goes in, finished with new silicone at the edges. We work on shower walls, wet rooms and kitchen splashbacks, and the jobs we see most are grout stained black or orange that won’t clean and grout in a colour the owner wants to change.
Somewhere as small as Albury, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

What happens if it’s left?
With regrouting, your tiles stay where they are. Retiling is a much bigger job: stripping, making good, new tiles and new grout, and often a few days without a shower. When the tiles are fine, it’s the sensible first step. In a small place like Albury, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
What affects the cost of regrouting
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Where the property is
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand.
Regrouting in Albury: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you look after a building such as Albury Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. For landlords with property near Bishops Stortford station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. It’s the part that moves, so the sealant there will need renewing in time, long before the grout does.
Grout that is washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.

How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Somewhere like Albury needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.

- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
