Regrouting for homes and businesses in Chipping Ongar
Most regrouting jobs include resealing too. Grout belongs between tiles, but internal corners and edges flex, so they’re sealed with silicone rather than grout. Doing both at once leaves the whole area sound. If you have shower grout that has worn away and grout stained black or orange that won’t clean, we can put it right, on wet rooms, tiled floors and shower walls alike.
Homes around Chipping Ongar range from older cottages to more recent houses. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. In a smaller place like Chipping Ongar, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Bathroom floors
If floor grout keeps cracking, the floor may be moving. We look for loose tiles first.
Wet rooms
Wet rooms have water across the floor, so good grout is important. We check the tiles first.

Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Chipping Ongar is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Is there a guarantee on regrouting in Chipping Ongar?

How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. We’ll tell you when we quote.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.

Regrouting around Chipping Ongar
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Managing a site like Chipping Ongar Primary School? Then washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. In the older streets around United Reformed Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents and landlords in Chipping Ongar can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
Give the new grout the time we tell you before using the shower, so it can harden properly. After that, rinse the tiles after showering and keep the room ventilated.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left, the same problem can let water through so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
