Regrouting in Bovinger
If you’ve been scrubbing grout that will not come clean, the stain is often in the grout itself. New grout is the fix that lasts and you can pick a different colour while you are at it. If you are dealing with good tiles let down by tired grout and crumbling grout between the tiles, we can help, on bathroom wall tiles, wet rooms and kitchen splashbacks alike.
Somewhere as small as Bovinger, 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.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Why it’s worth doing now in Bovinger
Bleach can lighten stained grout for a while, but mould that has got into grout usually comes back. New grout, with silicone in the corners, deals with the cause. Older cottages and farmhouses around Bovinger can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

Bovinger homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Germain, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

What we’re called out for in Bovinger
Soap scum and limescale build up on grout that’s hard to shift. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, which is when replacing it makes sense.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change

What the job involves on each surface
Wet rooms
Wet rooms have water across the floor, so sound grout really matters. We check for loose tiles before starting.
Shower walls
A shower wall is soaked daily, so its grout takes the most punishment. It’s often the first place grout washes out.
FAQs for Bovinger
Do you cover Bovinger for regrouting?
Yes, Bovinger is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Bovinger?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you will get one quote.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
We normally do. Fresh grout next to old, mouldy silicone would look odd and could still leak.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Where are you based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Regrouting will not fix loose tiles. We flag any loose or hollow tiles before starting so you know where you stand.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. It normally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Somewhere like Bovinger 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.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout with a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers, as they can break grout down.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left, the same problem can let water through so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Shower walls
