Why deal with it now?
Regrouting keeps the tiles you already have. Retiling means stripping the walls, making good and choosing new tiles, and often a few days without a shower. When the tiles are fine, it’s the sensible first step. Around Broxted, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
What you get with us
- Neat joints and a tidy finish

Changing the grout colour is a simple way to update tiles. You might go from white to grey or back again. Just mention the colour you’d like when you call 0345 464 0079 or email us. We work on shower walls, bathroom wall tiles and bathroom floors, and people most often call us about floor grout that has worn and darkened and shower grout that has worn away.
In a village or hamlet like Broxted, 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.

Broxted: your questions answered
Is Broxted within the area you cover?
Yes. Broxted is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Stansted Airport station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes, regrouting is the time to do it. Tell us the colour you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
Tiles that have come away need sorting first. We will show you which ones at the start.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location. If we need more, we will ask.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
The process
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, and the area is left clean. In a small place like Broxted, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use keeps water off the grout. Ventilate the room well so the grout dries between uses.
Grout that’s washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
What the job involves on each surface
Bathroom wall tiles
We can regroute all the walls in a bathroom, depending on size. You can change the colour at the same time.
Corners and edges
The joint between tiles and a bath, tray or worktop gets silicone. Grout there would crack.
Common problems we fix in Broxted
Soap scum and limescale build up on grout that is hard to shift. The grout beneath can stain and weaken, which is when replacing it makes sense.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
Homes close to Church of St Mary the Virgin include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

- How hidden problems are handled
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
