How we handle regrouting in Ashington
Grout is the filler between your 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 that’s cracking and breaking up and shower grout that has worn away, on tiled floors, kitchen splashbacks and wet rooms.
Around Ashington, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, and the area is left clean. Somewhere as small as Ashington, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Ashington
It’s tempting to fill a few cracks yourself, but patched grout rarely matches the rest, and the old grout keeps failing around them. Doing the full area gives you one colour and sound joints throughout. Older cottages and farmhouses around Ashington can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. Movement will crack the new grout and lets water in.
Stains that will not clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. At this point it’s a simple regrout, before the joints open up.
Signs you need regrouting in Ashington
Most grout is porous, so water, soap and grime soak into it. Given time, it discolours and begins to break down and showers that get daily use suffer most.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ashington CofE Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Ashington: your questions answered
What guarantee comes with regrouting in Ashington?
All our work, in Ashington and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover smaller places like Ashington?
Yes, Ashington is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
Yes, in most cases. New grout beside old sealant wouldn’t look right and wouldn’t keep water out.
Can you regrout just the shower?
We can. We’ll check the other tiled areas as well and tell you if anything else needs attention.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes. Many customers do. Darker grout can hide marks, while lighter grout brightens a room.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you grout the corners?
We use silicone in corners and along edges. Grout in those joints cracks as the building moves.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
If you manage several properties in or around Ashington, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
