Regrouting near Brookside

How we handle regrouting in Brookside

Our applicators rake out the old grout to an even depth, without damaging the edges of the tiles. The joints are then vacuumed, regrouted and cleaned off, and the corners get fresh silicone. We work on shower walls, wet rooms and kitchen splashbacks, and common reasons people get in touch are grout in a colour the owner wants to change and grout that makes sound tiles look old.

In a village or hamlet like Brookside, 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.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Aftercare tips

A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:

  • Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
  • Use gentle cleaners on grout
  • Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
  • Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout

Give the new grout the time we tell you before using the shower, so it can harden properly. After that, rinse the tiles after showering and let the room air.

Fixing grout early is a small job. Left for a few years, they can become a leak so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.

How the job changes by surface

Wet rooms

Wet rooms have water across the floor, so sound grout really matters. We check the tiles first.

Bathroom floors

If floor grout keeps cracking, the floor may be moving. We check the tiles before regrouting.

Quotes for regrouting in Brookside

The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:

  • The number and length of the joints
  • Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
  • Which sealant suits the joint
  • Whether there’s mould to deal with

There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

  • A few pictures by email, if you can

DIY sealant or a professional job?

What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.

Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

Signs you need regrouting in Brookside

Hard water and soap leave a film on grout and stick to it. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, which is when replacing it makes sense.

Any of these means the joints need attention:

  • Grout that makes sound tiles look old
  • A grout colour that no longer suits the room
  • Gaps where the shower grout has gone
  • Crumbling grout between the tiles

In the older streets around Chapel of St Mary and St John, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

10 questions to ask before you book

The process

Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. In a small place like Brookside, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.

  1. We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
  2. The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
  3. We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
  4. Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
  5. We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.

How to prepare

  • Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
  • Mention any parking rules near the property
  • Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Regrouting around Brookside

Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.

Managing a site like Papplewick School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Ascot station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

Brookside questions

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

Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.

Will you come out to Brookside?

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

How long should I wait before showering?

You’ll get a clear time from us before we go. Both the grout and the silicone need time to cure before they get wet.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a 12-month guarantee, and we are fully insured.

Do you take out the old sealant first?

Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.

What does regrouting cost?

There’s no set price, as it 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.

What if some of my tiles are loose?

Loose tiles need refixing before regrouting. We will point them out before any grout comes out.

Do you grout the corners?

We seal corners with silicone. They move slightly, and grout there cracks.
