Regrouting in Boughton Aluph
Raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Boughton Aluph. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and lets water in.
Cracked grout does not stay cracked for long. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen, so regrouting early can save a retile.
Regrouting in Boughton Aluph, done properly
Most regrouting jobs include resealing too. Grout belongs between tiles, but corners and edges move, so they need flexible silicone instead. Renewing both together means nothing is left half-done. Common call-outs are for grout washed out of a shower and grout in a colour the owner wants to change, on tiled floors, wet rooms and shower walls.
Somewhere as small as Boughton Aluph, 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Boughton Aluph questions
I let a flat near Wye station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover Boughton Aluph for regrouting?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Boughton Aluph is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Loose or hollow tiles are a sign of a problem behind them. Grout on its own won’t fix that and we will say so before going ahead.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
Most of the time, yes. Grout and sealant do different jobs, so we renew both and it’s all in the quote.
How do I get a quote for regrouting in Boughton Aluph?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before we start.
How long does regrouting take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
It can. Because the old grout is raked out, the new colour goes all the way into the joint rather than sitting on top.
The process
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It generally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Somewhere as small as Boughton Aluph, 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.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about parking restrictions

What regrouting looks like in Boughton Aluph
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you let a flat or house near Wye station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. In the older streets around All Saints’ Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

What the job involves on each surface
Shower walls
The grout in a shower takes the brunt of the water. We replace it, and reseal the corners.
Corners and edges
Where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop, the joint is sealed. Grout there would crack.
Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
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. All the old material has to come out first.
Signs you need regrouting in Boughton Aluph
Most grout is porous, so water, soap and grime soak into it. Over time it stains, softens and starts to crumble, especially in a shower that is used every day.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Floor grout that won’t come clean
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wye School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Are they insured?
- Is VAT in the price?
When it is not the sealant
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
