How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Somewhere as small as Calcott, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
How to get a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.

Regrouting for homes and businesses in Calcott
Regrouting is normally paired with resealing. Grout is for the joints between tiles, but internal corners and edges flex, so they’re sealed with silicone rather than grout. Renewing both together means nothing is left half-done. We’re often asked to deal with shower grout that has worn away and old grout in a dated colour, on shower walls, wet rooms and kitchen splashbacks.
Being in a small place like Calcott makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
Before we leave, you’ll know when the shower can be used. Please follow it, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. At this point it’s a simple regrout, before the joints open up.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
If you manage several properties in or around Calcott, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchen splashbacks
The grout by the hob and sink takes most of the mess. We regroute and reseal the worktop joint.
Bathroom wall tiles
Whole bathroom walls can be regrouted in one visit or more, depending on size. It’s a good time to change the grout colour.

Regrouting around Calcott
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you look after a building such as Sturry Church of England Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you let a flat or house near Sturry station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

What affects the quote in Calcott

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
When it is not the sealant
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- A leaking wet room membrane
- Tiles that are chipped or split
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
