Regrouting in Coleman's Hatch

Regrouting in Coleman's Hatch

A bathroom with good tiles can still look worn if the grout has gone. With regrouting, the tiles stay and only the grout is renewed, so there’s no stripping out and no new tiles to choose. We work on wet rooms, bathroom floors and tiled floors, and people most often call us about kitchen splashback grout stained by grease and shower grout that has worn away.

Somewhere as small as Coleman's Hatch, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.

All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Coleman's Hatch and everywhere else we cover.

Your questions about regrouting in Coleman's Hatch

Do you work for landlords with property near East Grinstead station?

Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.

Is Coleman's Hatch in your area for regrouting?

Yes, Coleman's Hatch is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.

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 will give you a better idea when we quote.

What if some of my tiles are loose?

Loose tiles need refixing before regrouting. We’ll point them out at the start.

Should I try DIY first?

That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.

What sealant do you use?

The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.

How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?

We give you a time before we leave. It depends on the grout and the sealant used, so follow the time we give you.

Do I have to be there?

That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.

Keeping the joints in good condition

A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:

  • Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
  • Use gentle cleaners on grout
  • Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
  • Give the walls a quick rinse after use

Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. Corners flex, so it’s generally the first thing to need attention.

Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. By then, new grout alone is not enough so early action pays.

Why act early in Coleman's Hatch

Regrouting keeps the tiles you already have. Retiling means stripping the walls, making good and choosing new tiles, and the room is out of use for longer. If the tiles are sound, regrouting is the simpler fix. Older cottages and farmhouses around Coleman's Hatch can have timber 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 is why we ask about the job first.

Should I try it myself first?

Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.

A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.

What the job involves on each surface

Bathroom floors

Floor grout takes foot traffic as well as water. It wears and darkens over time.

Wet rooms

In a wet room, the whole floor gets wet, so sound grout really matters. We check the tiles first.

What we do, step by step

We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, and the area is left clean. For a village or hamlet like Coleman's Hatch, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.

  1. We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
  2. The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
  3. The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
  4. New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
  5. The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.

Preparing for the visit

  • For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
  • Move anything stored near the joints
  • Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Common problems we fix in Coleman's Hatch

Hard water and soap leave a film on grout that is hard to shift. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, and at that point, new grout is the better answer.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Floor grout that has worn and darkened
  • Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
  • Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
  • Gaps where the shower grout has gone

For landlords with property near East Grinstead station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

Questions to ask before booking

  • The length of the guarantee
  • How much experience the applicator has
  • Is the old sealant removed completely?
  • Which colour the sealant will be

When something else is needed

To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:

  • Cracked or broken tiles
  • Movement in a stud wall or floor
  • Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
