Regrouting in Brickendon

How we handle regrouting in Brickendon

We work across Brickendon, regrouting bathrooms, showers and kitchens. The old grout is raked out, the joints cleaned and new grout laid, and we finish by resealing the edges. We work on bathroom floors, tiled floors and kitchen splashbacks, and the jobs we see most are kitchen splashback grout stained by grease and shower grout that has worn away.

Somewhere as small as Brickendon, 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.

What happens on the day

Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, depending on how much there is to do. For a village or hamlet like Brickendon, 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.

  1. Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
  2. We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
  3. The joints are vacuumed clean.
  4. We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
  5. Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.

Before we arrive

Advice

Brickendon homes and their sealant

Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.

Rented homes near Bayford station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

Brickendon is about 3 miles west of Hoddesdon, in Hertfordshire. From the centre of Brickendon to the outskirts, regrouting is available for homes and businesses alike, from flats and houses to offices and hotels.

Looking after it afterwards

After the cure time, these simple habits help:

  • Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
  • Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
  • Give the walls a quick rinse after use
  • Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering

We will tell you when the area can be used again. Stick to that time, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.

Cracked grout doesn’t stay cracked for long. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away, so regrouting early can save a retile.

Surface by surface

Shower walls

A shower wall is soaked daily, so grout there works hardest. It generally fails first.

Kitchen splashbacks

The grout by the hob and sink takes most of the mess. We regroute and reseal the worktop joint.

Leave it or put it right?

Colouring the surface of old grout is a quick cosmetic fix. They don’t fill cracks or stop water, and stains can show through again. Raking out and regrouting replaces the grout itself. Older cottages and farmhouses around Brickendon 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. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

Signs you need regrouting in Brickendon

A poor original job is a common cause. Grout that was too wet, not packed in or cleaned off too hard can wash out within a few years.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
  • Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
  • Splashback grout that has darkened
  • Gaps where the shower grout has gone

Homes close to Holy Cross & St Alban include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about regrouting in Brickendon

Will you come out to Brickendon?

Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.

Can you help a landlord with a rental near Bayford station?

Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.

How long does the job take?

Typically it takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.

How do I get a quote for regrouting in Brickendon?

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. You’ll get a clear quote before we start.

Will the old sealant be removed?

Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.

Can you quote for more than one area?

Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.

What do you put in the joint?

Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.

Will regrouting fix loose tiles?

Regrouting will not fix loose tiles. We flag any loose or hollow tiles before starting so you know where you stand.

DIY versus a professional finish

Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
