What affects the quote in Appspond
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether the work is at height
- How much there is to do
- The product the joint needs
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it has been sealed before
We don’t publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Regrouting in Appspond, done properly
We check the tiles before any grout comes out. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, since new grout cannot fix a problem underneath. With sound tiles, regrouting is a tidy, lasting improvement. We work on tiled floors, bathroom wall tiles and kitchen splashbacks, and people most often call us about stained grout that cleaning won’t shift and gaps where the shower grout has gone.
For a small place like Appspond, regrouting is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Why it’s worth doing now in Appspond
Colouring the surface of old grout is a quick cosmetic fix. They will not fill gaps or keep water out and stains often come back through. A proper regrout puts new grout in the joint. Around Appspond, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. It’s the part that moves, so it’s normally the first thing to need attention.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left for a few years, they can become a leak so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
How it works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. The work generally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Somewhere as small as Appspond, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Should I try DIY first?

Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.

Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
What regrouting looks like in Appspond
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.
Schools such as Marlborough Science Academy are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Letting a property close to St Albans Abbey station? Then stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
