How we quote for regrouting
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether the work is at height
- How many areas need sealing
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
What we need to know
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- If someone has resealed it before
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The rough size of the job
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
Regrouting in Church End, done properly
Stained, crumbling or cracked grout can make a sound bathroom look tired. Regrouting replaces the grout and keeps the tiles you have, so there’s no stripping out and no new tiles to choose. We work on shower walls, bathroom wall tiles and kitchen splashbacks, and people most often call us about floor grout that has worn and darkened and grout in corners that has cracked.
Homes around Church End are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Church End and across Essex.

Church End: your questions answered
I let a flat near Braintree station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Church End?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
Yes, in most cases. New grout beside old sealant wouldn’t look right and could still leak.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
When can I use the shower again?
We’ll tell you on the day. It depends on the grout and the sealant used, so follow the time we give you.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
Yes. A lot of our jobs are only the shower, or just the joints that have failed.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
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.
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.
Do you need regrouting in Church End?
A bathroom that stays damp keeps the grout wet, and damp grout is where mould grows. Black marks that come back after cleaning are often in the grout itself.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
Homes close to Parish Church of St Andrew include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
What your quote should include
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- The length of the guarantee
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How long to leave it before use
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
What sealant work cannot fix
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. It will not solve:
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

What regrouting looks like in Church End
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Rented homes near Braintree station change hands often, and stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. Managing a site like Shalford 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.
