How the visit works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area from start to finish. In a small place like Clothall, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Regrouting in Clothall, done properly
When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the discolouration has generally soaked into the grout. New grout is the fix that lasts and you can pick a different colour while you are at it. If you have stained grout that cleaning won’t shift and old grout in a dated colour, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Clothall, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Common questions in Clothall
Will you come out to Clothall?
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.
Is Clothall in your area for regrouting?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Clothall is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
What guarantee comes with the work?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, including regrouting.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Generally, yes. The corners and edges should be silicone, and it makes sense to renew both together.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes, plenty of people choose to. A darker grout hides marks better, while lighter grout brightens a room.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
What the job involves on each surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Tiles away from the shower stay drier but still stain and crack. Regrouting brings them back in line.
Shower walls
Showers put more water on grout than anywhere else. We replace it and renew the silicone at the edges.
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
Give the new grout the time we tell you before using the shower, so it can harden properly. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and let the room air.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. Once that happens, regrouting won’t fix it so early action pays.
Regrouting in Clothall: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Managing a site like Weston Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Why it’s worth doing now in Clothall
Grout pens and paint-on colourants only cover the surface. They will not fill gaps or keep water out, and stains can show through again. Raking out and regrouting replaces the grout itself. In a small place like Clothall, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

What we are called out for in Clothall
A bathroom that stays damp keeps the grout wet, giving mould a place to grow. When black spots keep returning, the mould has generally got into the grout.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
Rented homes near Baldock station change hands often, and stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
