About our regrouting in Balls Green
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 floors, shower walls and kitchen splashbacks, and people most often call us about kitchen splashback grout stained by grease and grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned.
Somewhere as small as Balls Green, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Balls Green homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you let a flat or house near Great Bentley station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. In and around Balls Green, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
We will tell you when the area can be used again. Stick to that time, and go gently on the grout at first.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. By then, new grout alone is not enough, so it’s worth acting early.
Your questions about regrouting in Balls Green
Do you work for landlords with property near Great Bentley station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you do regrouting in Balls Green?
Yes, Balls Green is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
Yes, that is common. The shower usually fails first, so many people regrout just that part.
What affects the quote in Balls Green
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many areas need sealing
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What to tell us for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Roughly how big the job is
- The address or postcode of the job
For a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. You will have a clear quote before we start.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can go on one quote.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
What we cannot put right
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before any work starts. Sealant won’t put right:
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.

What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself generally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, depending on how much there is to do. Somewhere as small as Balls Green, 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.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Related advice
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
How the job changes by surface
Corners and edges
The joint between tiles and a bath, tray or worktop gets silicone. Grout in that joint wouldn’t last.
Shower walls
Shower walls are the most common area we regrout. Cracked or missing grout here lets water behind the tiles.
