Regrouting in Ashwell
A bathroom with good tiles can still look worn if the grout has gone. Regrouting replaces the grout and keeps the tiles you have, so there’s no stripping out and no new tiles to choose. We’re often asked to deal with grout in corners that has cracked and grout in a colour the owner wants to change, across bathroom wall tiles, wet rooms and tiled floors.
Around Ashwell, you’ll mostly find houses and bungalows, some older and some much newer. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are covered after we have gone.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
Before we leave, you will know when the shower can be used. Stick to that time, and go gently on the grout at first.
Grout that’s washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Each shower drives water into the open joints and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.
Why it’s worth doing now in Ashwell
Cleaning products may brighten grout for a time, but mould that has got into grout generally comes back. New grout, with silicone in the corners, deals with the cause. Around Ashwell, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Regrouting in Ashwell: local notes
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.
If you live in an older home near St Mary's Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. If you look after a building such as Ashwell Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Common questions in Ashwell
I let a flat near Ashwell & Morden station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you cover smaller places like Ashwell?
Yes. Ashwell is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes. Many clients do. Darker grout can hide marks and lighter grout gives a fresher look.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
When can I use the shower again?
Before we leave, we will tell you how long to wait. Both the grout and the silicone need time to cure before the shower is used.
Do you guarantee regrouting?
You get our 12-month guarantee on every job, and we are fully insured.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. The job usually takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. For a job in Ashwell, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- 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
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

When to call us in Ashwell
Grout is porous, so water, soap and grime soak into it. Over time it stains, softens and starts to crumble, especially in a shower that’s used every day.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Old grout in a dated colour
