Cottered Regrouting
Our applicators work in Cottered on raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and a 12-month guarantee.

Regrouting in Cottered, done properly
Before work begins, the tiles are checked. Loose or hollow tiles are pointed out first, since new grout cannot fix a problem underneath. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. We work on tiled floors, bathroom wall tiles and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are a grout colour that no longer suits the room and stained grout that cleaning won’t shift.
In a village or hamlet like Cottered, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

What we’re called out for in Cottered
Most grout is porous, so water, soap and grime soak into it. Over time it stains, softens and starts to crumble and showers that get daily use suffer most.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
In the older streets around Parish Church of St John the Baptist, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

When it is not the sealant
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Cracked or broken tiles
- A leaking shower valve or waste
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Quotes for regrouting in Cottered
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The number and length of the joints
- Any mould that needs treating
- Access and height
- When we can work, for business premises
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.

- Roughly how big the job is
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Whether it’s a home or a business
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work before giving you a price.
What the job involves on each surface
Shower walls
A shower wall is soaked daily, so its grout takes the most punishment. It’s often the first place grout washes out.
Bathroom floors
Cracked floor grout can point to movement underneath. We look for loose tiles first.
How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. For a village or hamlet like Cottered, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
