Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
How we handle regrouting in Birdbrook
If you’ve been scrubbing grout that will not come clean, the discolouration has generally soaked into the grout. New grout is the fix that lasts, and it’s a chance to change the colour too. If you are dealing with floor grout that has worn and darkened and cracked or crumbling grout lines, we can put it right, on wet rooms, bathroom wall tiles and tiled floors alike.
In a village or hamlet like Birdbrook, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Why it’s worth doing now in Birdbrook
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. Older cottages and farmhouses around Birdbrook can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Birdbrook
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St Augustine, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Around Birdbrook, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Loose tiles need refixing before regrouting. We’ll point them out before any grout comes out.
How long should I wait before showering?
Before we leave, we’ll tell you how long to wait. Both the grout and the silicone need time to cure before they get wet.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work normally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. For a village or hamlet like Birdbrook, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
Wipe the tiles down after a shower stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Ventilate the room well to help it dry out.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward while the tiles are still sound.
