Common questions in Biggin
Do you work for landlords with property near Tilbury Town station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Biggin?
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.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
Flexible sealant. Grout is for the joints between tiles, while corners and edges need a joint that can move.
How do I get a quote for regrouting in Biggin?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
Tiles that have come away need sorting first. We will show you which ones before any grout comes out.
When can I use the shower again?
Before we leave, we’ll tell you how long to wait. The grout and sealant both need to cure before the shower is used.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
How we handle regrouting in Biggin
Regrouting suits shower walls, bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and wet rooms. It can be a full room, or just the area that has failed. Whatever the size, the method stays the same. We work on kitchen splashbacks, bathroom wall tiles and tiled floors, and the jobs we see most are grout washed out of a shower and splashback grout that has darkened.
Being in a small place like Biggin makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Advice
Landlord and commercial work in Biggin
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Biggin homes and their sealant
Biggin is within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Tilbury Pioneer Academy, 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.

Different surfaces, different methods
Corners and edges
Edges are resealed while we’re there, so the whole area is finished together.
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the whole floor gets wet, so sound grout really matters. We check for loose tiles before starting.
Signs you need regrouting in Biggin
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.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
For landlords with property near Tilbury Town station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
Questions to ask before you book
- How much experience the applicator has
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether you can choose the colour
- The length of the guarantee
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Rinse the tiles after showering
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Ventilate the room well so the grout dries between uses.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward, before the joints open up.
Why it’s worth doing now in Biggin
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away, taking any repair with it. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Biggin, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
