What regrouting looks like in Ardleigh
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

About our regrouting in Ardleigh
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water can get in behind the tiles. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in, then reseal the corners and edges. We are often asked to deal with grout in a colour the owner wants to change and floor grout that has worn and darkened, across wet rooms, shower walls and bathroom wall tiles.
Being in a small place like Ardleigh makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Check the corner silicone every few months
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use keeps water off the grout. Ventilate the room well to help it dry out.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.

Questions from Ardleigh
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Manningtree station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Ardleigh?
Yes. Ardleigh is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
If tiles are loose, something behind them has normally failed. Grout on its own won’t fix that and we will say so before going ahead.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we’re fully insured.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work in Ardleigh
- Shower walls
- Bathroom floors
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Wet rooms
- Tiled floors
- Kitchen splashbacks
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Common problems we fix in Ardleigh
Poor ventilation keeps grout damp, and damp grout is where mould grows. Black marks that come back after cleaning are often in the grout itself.
People normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
If you let a flat or house near Manningtree station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

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 work begins. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. For a village or hamlet like Ardleigh, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
