Regrouting in Colgate

How we handle regrouting in Colgate

We take the old grout out to a consistent depth, without damaging the edges of the tiles. The joints are then vacuumed, regrouted and cleaned off, with silicone renewed in the corners. If you are dealing with grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned and greasy, stained grout behind the hob, we can put it right, on tiled floors, bathroom wall tiles and wet rooms alike.

For a small place like Colgate, regrouting is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords and letting agents in Colgate can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.

Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Colgate and across West Sussex. We can quote a run of properties together.

How we quote for regrouting

Your quote is based on your job. We look at:

  • When we can work, for business premises
  • Access and height
  • The size of the job
  • Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out

Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

What we need to know

When you contact us, these details help:

  • How we’d reach the joints
  • Photos by email, if that’s easy
  • Where the property is
  • Whether it’s a home or a business

Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Do you need regrouting in Colgate?

A poor original job is a common cause. Grout that was too wet, not packed in or cleaned off too hard tends to wash out early.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
  • Grout that makes sound tiles look old
  • Cracked grout along the bath or tray
  • Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor

For landlords with property near Faygate station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

Choosing a sealant specialist

What sealant work can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:

  • Tiles that are chipped or split
  • A floor or wall that keeps moving
  • A leaking wet room membrane

Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we seal

  • Shower walls
  • Bathroom floors
  • Tiled floors
  • Kitchen splashbacks
  • Wet rooms
  • Bathroom wall tiles

How the job changes by surface

Kitchen splashbacks

The grout by the hob and sink takes most of the mess. We renew the grout and the worktop sealant.

Corners and edges

Internal corners move, so we seal them rather than grout them.

Colgate: your questions answered

Do you cover Colgate for regrouting?

Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Colgate is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.

Is Colgate within the area you cover?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

How long does regrouting take?

A typical job takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.

Will the old sealant be removed?

Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a 12-month guarantee.

What if some of my tiles are loose?

Loose or hollow tiles are a sign of a problem behind them. Grout on its own won’t fix that and we’ll say so before going ahead.

Where is Mr Mastic based?

Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Colgate and the rest of West Sussex.

What do you need from me for a quote?

A short description and the location. We will ask anything else we need to know.

Regrouting around Colgate

Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.

In the older streets around St. Saviour's Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Schools such as Colgate Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

What happens on the day

There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room in most cases. In a small place like Colgate, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.

  1. We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
  2. We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
  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

  • Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
  • Tell us about any water getting in
  • Mention any parking rules near the property

How to get a quote

There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Related advice

Leave it or put it right?

Regrouting won’t help where tiles have come away. We point that out first, so you can decide what to do. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting is far less disruptive than retiling. In a small place like Colgate, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
