How to look after the new joints

After the cure time, these simple habits help:

  • Have loose tiles looked at early
  • Rinse the tiles after showering
  • Skip wire brushes and scourers
  • Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner

Have any tile that moves checked right away. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and open a path for water.

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.

Regrouting in Argos Hill, done properly

Grout is the filler between your tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a 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 work on bathroom wall tiles, shower walls and wet rooms, and people most often call us about floor grout that won’t come clean and grout in corners that has cracked.

In a village or hamlet like Argos Hill, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.

What happens on the day

The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In a small place like Argos Hill, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.

  1. First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
  2. Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
  3. The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
  4. We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
  5. We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking rules near the property
  • Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
  • Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Common questions in Argos Hill

Will you come out to Argos Hill?

Yes, Argos Hill is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.

I let a flat near Crowborough station. Can you help?

Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Does someone need to be in?

It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.

Do you grout the corners?

We seal corners with silicone. They flex and grout cannot take that movement.

Which products do you use?

It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.

Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?

Yes. Many customers do. Darker grout can hide marks and lighter grout gives a fresher look.

Is the work guaranteed?

Our one-year guarantee applies to all our work, and we are fully insured.

Where do you work from?

We are based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.

When to call us in Argos Hill

Grout that was put in corners cracks because those joints flex. Those joints should be silicone, and if they’re grouted, a crack soon lets water in.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Cracked grout along the bath or tray
  • Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
  • Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
  • Old grout in a dated colour

For landlords with property near Crowborough station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY versus a professional finish

Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

Regrouting around Argos Hill

Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.

If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Denys, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. If you look after a building such as Rotherfield Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

What affects the cost of regrouting

There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:

  • Access and height
  • The product the joint needs
  • The number and length of the joints
  • The old material and how stubborn it is

Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

What to tell us for a quote

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

  • What’s wrong with the joints now
  • If someone has resealed it before
  • How we’d reach the joints
  • Roughly how big the job is

Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply call 0345 464 0079 or email us and describe the job and send photos if you have them.

Why act early in Argos Hill

Patching a few joints can look like a quick win, but patched grout rarely matches the rest and the old grout carries on failing. Regrouting the whole area gives an even, lasting finish. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Argos Hill, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Why book with us

  • We never seal over old sealant
  • Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
  • Domestic, commercial and hotel work
  • An ARBOMaster approved applicator

Kitchen splashbacks

The grout by the hob and sink takes most of the mess. We renew the grout and the worktop sealant.

Bathroom wall tiles

Tiles away from the shower stay drier but still stain and crack. Regrouting brings them back in line.
