For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Regrouting for homes and businesses in Barling
If you’ve been scrubbing grout that will not come clean, the stain is often in the grout itself. New grout is the fix that lasts, and it’s a chance to change the colour too. We work on wet rooms, bathroom wall tiles and tiled floors, and common reasons people get in touch are greasy, stained grout behind the hob and grout in corners that has cracked.
Homes around Barling are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
Wipe the tiles down after a shower keeps water off the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window to help it dry out.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. By then, new grout alone isn’t enough so early action pays.
Why deal with it now?
Bleach can lighten stained grout for a while, but stains and mould that have soaked in tend to return. Replacing the grout and resealing the edges is a lasting fix. Older cottages and farmhouses around Barling can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why book with us
- We never seal over old sealant

Questions from Barling
Do you work for landlords with property near Thorpe Bay station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Barling within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
Most of the time, yes. Grout fills tile gaps and sealant handles the moving joints, so we renew both and it’s all in the quote.
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.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes. We’ll look at the rest of the room too and tell you if anything else needs attention.
What affects the cost of regrouting
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number and length of the joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
- Tiles that are chipped or split
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we seal
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Wet rooms
- Tiled floors
- Bathroom floors
- Shower walls
- Bathroom wall tiles
How the job changes by surface
Shower walls
A shower wall is soaked daily, so grout there works hardest. It usually fails first.
Corners and edges
The joint between tiles and a bath, tray or worktop gets silicone. Grout there would crack.

What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Somewhere as small as Barling, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- 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.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any tricky access
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Advice
Regrouting in Barling: local notes
Barling is within about 3 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you look after a building such as Barling Magna Primary Academy, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Letting a property close to Thorpe Bay station? Then clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. Homes close to Church of All Saints include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
