Regrouting in Colne Engaine, done properly
Grout is the filler between your tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water has a way in behind the tiling. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in, then reseal the corners and edges. We’re often asked to deal with grout that’s cracking and breaking up and grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned, on shower walls, bathroom wall tiles and kitchen splashbacks.
Somewhere as small as Colne Engaine, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. 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 as standard, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use keeps water off the grout. Ventilate the room well to help it dry out.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left, the same problem can let water through so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
How we quote for regrouting
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The size of the job
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Access and height
- The product the joint needs
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
To get a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. We’ll send you a clear quote before any work starts.
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
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.

Regrouting in Colne Engaine: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St Andrew, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Rented homes near Chappel & Wakes Colne station change hands often, and stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. If you look after a building such as Colne Engaine Church of England Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

The process
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Somewhere as small as Colne Engaine, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.

- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

How the job changes by surface
Bathroom floors
New floor grout makes a big difference to how a bathroom looks. Floor-to-wall and bath joints are sealed, not grouted.
Corners and edges
Corners flex as the building moves, so we seal them rather than grout them.
