Regrouting in Barnes Street, done properly

A grout colour change can freshen a room without retiling. Light grout can go darker to hide marks, or the other way round. Just mention the colour you’d like when you ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. We are often asked to deal with shower grout that has worn away and a grout colour that no longer suits the room, on shower walls, tiled floors and bathroom wall tiles.

Somewhere as small as Barnes Street, 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.

There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

FAQs for Barnes Street

I let a flat near Beltring station. Can you help?

Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.

Is Barnes Street in your area for regrouting?

Will you leave a mess?

Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.

Do you take out the old sealant first?

Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.

Do you guarantee regrouting?

There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, including regrouting.

Do you hold any approvals?

Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.

Does someone need to be in?

We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.

Which products do you use?

Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.

What happens on the day

When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Somewhere like Barnes Street 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.

  1. We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
  2. The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
  3. The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
  4. We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
  5. Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
  • Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
  • Mention any parking rules near the property

Related advice

Leave it or put it right?

Colouring the surface of old grout is a quick cosmetic fix. They will not fill gaps or keep water out and stains often come back through. Raking out and regrouting replaces the grout itself. Older cottages and farmhouses around Barnes Street can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

How to look after the new joints

So the new joints stay in good condition:

  • Check the corner silicone every few months
  • Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
  • Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
  • Keep the fan on after showering

If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. Movement will crack the new grout and open a path for water.

Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward while the tiles are still sound.

Regrouting around Barnes Street

Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.

If you look after a building such as Hadlow Rural Community School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Homes close to Golden Green Mission Church include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Should I try it myself first?

Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.

Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.

Common problems we fix in Barnes Street

Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, which is why we check the tiles first.

The problems people generally mention when they call are:

  • Grout that makes sound tiles look old
  • Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
  • Old grout in a dated colour
  • Corners filled with grout instead of silicone

Rented homes near Beltring station change hands often, and clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee
  • How hidden problems are handled
  • What the cure time is
  • Whether all the old sealant comes out first
