About our regrouting in Ansty

Regrouting suits shower walls, bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and wet rooms. It can be a full room, or just the area that has failed. Either way, tiled areas in Ansty are handled the same careful way. We work on tiled floors, bathroom floors and shower walls, and people most often call us about greasy, stained grout behind the hob and floor grout that won’t come clean.

In a village or hamlet like Ansty, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.

Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Mr Mastic applicator sealing the vertical joint between a glass shower screen and tiled wall

Should I try it myself first?

A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.

Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

What happens on the day

On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, including the tidy-up. In a small place like Ansty, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.

  1. Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
  2. The old grout is removed to an even depth.
  3. We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
  4. New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
  5. Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the joints have been sealed before
  • Mention any parking rules near the property
  • Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

What affects the cost of regrouting

Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:

  • Any working-time requirements on site
  • Access and height
  • How much there is to do
  • Mould in or behind the old joints

Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.

Helping us quote

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:

  • The address or postcode of the job
  • A few pictures by email, if you can
  • The rough size of the job
  • Any previous sealing or DIY work

Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand.

Do you need regrouting in Ansty?

Grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Over time it stains, softens and starts to crumble, especially in a shower that is used every day.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
  • Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
  • Grout washed out of a shower
  • Stained grout that cleaning will not shift

In the older streets around St John the Evangelist, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Before you book anyone

  • Which sealant they’ll use, and why
  • What preparation is included
  • How long to leave it before use
  • How hidden problems are handled

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ansty

Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.

In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.

Ansty homes and their sealant

Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.

For landlords with property near Haywards Heath station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. Schools such as Warden Park School are buildings too, and washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

Your questions about regrouting in Ansty

Will you come out to Ansty?

Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.

Can you help a landlord with a rental near Haywards Heath station?

Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.

Should I try DIY first?

That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.

Is there any odour?

Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.

Will you leave a mess?

Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.

Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?

Yes. It’s the ideal time to change it. Mention the colour you have in mind when you ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

How long should I wait before showering?

We’ll tell you on the day. The wait depends on the products and conditions, so follow the time we give you.

What sealant do you use?

Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:

  • A structure that flexes behind the tiles
  • A leaking wet room membrane
  • Cracked or broken tiles

If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Where we work in Ansty

  • Kitchen splashbacks
  • Tiled floors
  • Shower walls
  • Bathroom wall tiles
  • Wet rooms
  • Bathroom floors

Keeping the joints in good condition

To keep the joints looking good and working properly:

  • Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
  • Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
  • Get any tile that moves checked promptly
  • Rinse the tiles after showering

Wipe the tiles down after a shower keeps water off the grout. Ventilate the room well to help it dry out.

Cracked grout does not stay cracked for long. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away, so regrouting early can save a retile.
