About our regrouting in Chelwood Gate

Changing the grout colour is a simple way to update tiles. Light grout can go darker to hide marks, or the other way round. Just mention the colour you’d like when you ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. We work on tiled floors, shower walls and bathroom wall tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are grout that’s cracking and breaking up and grout in corners that has cracked.

Around Chelwood Gate, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.

All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Can I do it myself?

If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

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.

When to call us in Chelwood Gate

Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, so we check the tiles before we start.

The most common problems we see are:

  • A grout colour that no longer suits the room
  • Floor grout that has worn and darkened
  • Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
  • Grout washed out of a shower

Around Chelwood Gate, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.

10 questions to ask before booking

How we quote for regrouting

Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:

  • The number and length of the joints
  • Whether the work is at height
  • Which sealant suits the joint
  • Whether there’s mould to deal with

Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

What to tell us for a quote

To help us quote quickly, please include:

  • The rough size of the job
  • What’s wrong with the joints now
  • If someone has resealed it before
  • Whether it’s a home or a business

Surface by surface

Shower walls

Most regrouting jobs include a shower. Gaps here let water get behind the tiling.

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.

Aftercare tips

So the new joints stay in good condition:

  • Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
  • Rinse the tiles after showering
  • Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
  • Skip wire brushes and scourers

Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. It’s the part that moves, so it’s generally the first thing to need attention.

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.

Honest limits

Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before any work starts. It will not solve:

  • Tiles that are chipped or split
  • Tiles that have come away from the wall
  • A leaking wet room membrane

If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.

What we seal

  • Bathroom floors
  • Tiled floors
  • Bathroom wall tiles
  • Wet rooms
  • Shower walls
  • Kitchen splashbacks

Common questions in Chelwood Gate

What guarantee comes with regrouting in Chelwood Gate?

All our work, in Chelwood Gate and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.

Is Chelwood Gate within the area you cover?

Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.

What information do you need?

Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

How long will you be here?

Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.

Should I try DIY first?

It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.

Will you leave a mess?

We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we are done.

Will the old sealant be removed?

Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.

How it works

A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Somewhere as small as Chelwood Gate, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.

  1. We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
  2. We remove the old grout carefully.
  3. The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
  4. The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
  5. Internal corners and edges are resealed.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
  • For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
  • Move anything stored near the joints
