What affects the quote in Arkesden
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Access and height
Rather than a set price list, 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 we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The rough size of the job
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand.
Regrouting in Arkesden, done properly
We take the old grout out to a consistent depth, without damaging the edges of the tiles. After vacuuming, new grout goes in and the tiles are wiped clean, with silicone renewed in the corners. If you have splashback grout that has darkened and shower grout that has worn away, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Around Arkesden, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In a small place like Arkesden, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Yes, Arkesden is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first.

Will it make a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
When to call us in Arkesden
Some grout fails because it was mixed or laid badly. If it was mixed too wet or not pressed in firmly can wash out within a few years.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
Homes close to Church of St Mary the Virgin include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
What your quote should include
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Are they insured?
- The length of the guarantee
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
What regrouting looks like in Arkesden
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For landlords with property near Audley End station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Joyce Frankland Academy, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Why it’s worth doing now in Arkesden
Regrouting will not help where tiles have come away. We’ll tell you before any work starts so you know what’s involved. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. In a small place like Arkesden, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
We will tell you when the area can be used again. Stick to that time, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. At this point it’s a simple regrout, before the joints open up.
