What we can’t put right

Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:

  • Damaged tiles that need replacing
  • Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
  • A structure that flexes behind the tiles

Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Joints and surfaces we work on

  • Shower walls
  • Kitchen splashbacks

Regrouting for homes and businesses in Chiddingstone Hoath

Regrouting suits shower walls, bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and wet rooms. It can be a full room, others just the shower. Whatever the size, the method stays the same. We work on shower walls, wet rooms and bathroom wall tiles, and people most often call us about crumbling grout between the tiles and stained grout that cleaning won’t shift.

In a village or hamlet like Chiddingstone Hoath, 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.

You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Chiddingstone Hoath as everywhere else we work.

Keeping the joints in good condition

Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:

  • Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
  • Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
  • Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
  • Do not ignore a tile that feels loose

Wipe the tiles down after a shower stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Ventilate the room well so the grout dries between uses.

If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.

Why act early in Chiddingstone Hoath

New grout smeared over the old does not bond well. A thin skin on top tends to break off, taking any repair with it. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. In a small place like Chiddingstone Hoath, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

How it works

We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. In a small place like Chiddingstone Hoath, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.

  1. We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
  2. We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
  3. The joints are vacuumed clean.
  4. New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
  5. We finish with silicone in the moving joints.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the work
  • Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
  • Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

10 questions to ask before you book

Questions from Chiddingstone Hoath

Will you come out to Chiddingstone Hoath?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.

Do you cover Chiddingstone Hoath for regrouting?

Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Chiddingstone Hoath is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.

Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?

Loose or hollow tiles are a sign of a problem behind them. Regrouting alone is not the answer and we’ll say so before going ahead.

How much does regrouting cost in Chiddingstone Hoath?

We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.

Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?

Yes, that’s common. Shower grout tends to go before the rest, so many people regrout just that part.

Do you grout the corners?

Silicone. Grout belongs between the tiles, while corners and edges need a joint that can move.

Is resealing included with regrouting?

In most cases, yes. Corners and edges need flexible silicone, and it makes sense to renew both together.

Do the sealants smell?

Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.

How the job changes by surface

Bathroom floors

Grout on a floor is walked on as well as wetted. It gets worn and dirty.

Shower walls

The grout in a shower takes the brunt of the water. We rake it out and regrout and renew the silicone at the edges.

DIY sealant or a professional job?

Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
