How the job changes by surface
Shower walls
Shower walls are the most common area we regrout. Gaps here let water get behind the tiling.
Bathroom wall tiles
Whole bathroom walls can be regrouted in one visit or more, depending on size. It’s a good time to change the grout colour.
About our regrouting in Ballards Gore
We regroute showers, bathroom walls and floors, splashbacks and wet rooms. It can be a full room, others just the shower. Either way, tiled areas in Ballards Gore are handled the same careful way. If you have grout washed out of a shower and floor grout that has worn and darkened, we can help, whatever the surface.
Being in a small place like Ballards Gore 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.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner with a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers because they wear grout away.
Grout that is washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.
What affects the cost of regrouting
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether the work is at height
- How many areas need sealing
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Whether it has been sealed before
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it’s a home or a business
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To arrange one, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Why deal with it now?
Patching a few joints can look like a quick win, but the patches often do not match, 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 Ballards Gore can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Why book with us
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- We are fully insured
- One-year guarantee on every job
How the visit works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Somewhere like Ballards Gore needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Getting ready for the visit

Common questions in Ballards Gore
Is Ballards Gore within the area you cover?
Yes. Ballards Gore is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Rochford station?

Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
Yes, plenty of people choose to. Darker grout can hide marks, while lighter grout brightens a room.
Where do you work from?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
Before we leave, we will tell you how long to wait. Both the grout and the silicone need time to cure before they get wet.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Do you guarantee regrouting?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee.
What we are called out for in Ballards Gore
Grout used in corners or along the bath cracks because those joints flex. Those joints should be silicone, and when they are not, water gets in.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as King Edmund School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
What your quote should include
- How the colour is chosen
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether VAT is included
