- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Old grout in a dated colour
What affects the cost of regrouting
We don’t publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Access and height
- The number of rooms or windows
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Where the property is
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand.
How we handle regrouting in Copford
If you’ve been scrubbing grout that won’t come clean, the discolouration has normally soaked into the grout. Replacing it is the lasting answer and you can pick a different colour while you’re at it. If you are dealing with discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles and grout in corners that has cracked, we can put it right, on shower walls, wet rooms and bathroom wall tiles alike.
Around Copford, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
Check the corner silicone now and then. It’s the part that moves, so it’s generally the first thing to need attention.
Stains that will not clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward while the tiles are still sound.
Copford homes and their sealant
Copford has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Stanway School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St Albright, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Clear the area around the work

What else we do in Copford
Copford: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Marks Tey station?
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.
Do you take on hotel work around Copford?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
Tiles that have come away need sorting first. We’ll point them out before any grout comes out.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
Normally, yes. Corners and edges need flexible silicone, and it makes sense to renew both together.
Signs you need regrouting in Copford
Grout that was put in corners cracks because those joints flex. They need flexible sealant, and when they aren’t, water gets in.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Floor grout that won’t come clean
If you let a flat or house near Marks Tey station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.
What your quote should include
- What product goes in the joint
- Whether VAT is included
- What guarantee comes with the work
- How much experience the applicator has
When something else is needed
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
