Chilgrove questions
Will you come out to Chilgrove?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you cover Chilgrove for regrouting?
Yes, Chilgrove is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, including the preparation. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Yes, in most cases. New grout beside old sealant wouldn’t look right and wouldn’t keep water out.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Regrouting in Chilgrove, done properly
Most regrouting jobs include resealing too. Grout is for the joints between tiles, but corners and edges move, so they’re sealed with silicone rather than grout. Renewing both together means nothing is left half-done. If you are dealing with grout stained black or orange that won’t clean and old grout in a dated colour, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Chilgrove, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why it’s worth doing now in Chilgrove
Grout pens and paint-on colourants only cover the surface. They won’t fill gaps or keep water out, and stains can show through again. A proper regrout puts new grout in the joint. Around Chilgrove, 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 a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before work begins.

The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, including the tidy-up. Somewhere like Chilgrove needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

What regrouting looks like in Chilgrove
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Whether the job is in Chilgrove itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use keeps water off the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window to help it dry out.
Grout that’s washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Each shower drives water into the open joints, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.
When to call us in Chilgrove
Harsh cleaners and scrubbing wear grout away. Bleach and acidic limescale removers can attack it over time, until the joints are rough and low.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
In and around Chilgrove, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
