Why deal with it now?

Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. A thin skin on top tends to break off, taking any repair with it. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. Around Bidden, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Regrouting for homes and businesses in Bidden

Regrouting suits shower walls, bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and wet rooms. It can be a full room, or just the area that has failed. Either way, tiled areas in Bidden are handled the same careful way. If you have grout stained black or orange that won’t clean and discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles, we can put it right, whatever the surface.

In a village or hamlet like Bidden, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?

The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. 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 call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

When to call us in Bidden

Strong cleaning products and hard scrubbing slowly erode grout. Some bleaches and acid descalers break grout down over time, leaving the joints sunken and rough.

It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:

  • Floor grout that has worn and darkened
  • Grout that is cracking and breaking up
  • Old grout in a dated colour
  • Grout in corners that has cracked

For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
  • Whether you can choose the colour
  • What the quote includes, VAT included or not
  • What insurance they hold

Choosing a sealant specialist

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will give you a quote.

In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Bidden

Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.

For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Robert May's School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. Letting a property close to Hook station? Then clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

The process

Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Somewhere like Bidden needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.

  1. First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
  2. Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
  3. The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
  4. The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
  5. Internal corners and edges are resealed.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the work area
  • Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
  • Move anything stored near the joints

How to get a quote

It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you’re ready, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:

  • Have loose tiles looked at early
  • Keep the fan on after showering
  • Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
  • Look at the sealant in the corners now and then

If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and open a path for water.

Fixing grout early is a small job. Left for a few years, they can become a leak so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.

What affects the cost of regrouting

Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access and height
  • Any mould that needs treating
  • The product the joint needs
  • When we can work, for business premises

A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Asking for a quote

To make quoting easier, please include:

  • What’s wrong with the joints now
  • Whether it’s a home or a business
  • Photos by email, if that is easy
  • The rough size of the job

A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.

Do you grout the corners?
