Regrouting for homes and businesses in Crumbles

We regroute showers, bathroom walls and floors, splashbacks and wet rooms. It can be a full room, others just the shower. Whatever the size, the method stays the same. We work on kitchen splashbacks, bathroom floors and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor and stained grout that cleaning won’t shift.

Around Crumbles, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

DIY sealant or a professional job?

What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
  • Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
  • Movement in a stud wall or floor

If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we seal

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

What we are called out for in Crumbles

Soap scum and limescale build up on grout that is hard to shift. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, which is when replacing it makes sense.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
  • Grout washed out of a shower
  • Crumbling grout between the tiles
  • Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean

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

Before you book anyone

  • How the colour is chosen
  • Whether they seal over old material or remove it
  • Whether the sealant suits the joint
  • How long the guarantee is

Choosing a sealant specialist

How to look after the new joints

To keep the joints looking good and working properly:

  • Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
  • Skip wire brushes and scourers
  • Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
  • Give the walls a quick rinse after use

A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window so the grout dries between uses.

Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. By then, new grout alone is not enough, so it’s worth acting early.

Regrouting in Crumbles: local notes

Crumbles is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.

Managing a site like St Catherine's College? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For an older house near a landmark such as St. Richard, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Your questions about regrouting in Crumbles

Is Crumbles in your area for regrouting?

Yes, Crumbles is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.

Will you come out to Crumbles?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.

Do you grout the corners?

Corners get silicone, not grout. They flex, and grout there cracks.

Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?

If tiles are loose, something behind them has generally failed. Grout on its own will not fix that, and we will tell you before we start.

Do you work for hotels and businesses?

Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we’re fully insured.

Do I need to be at home?

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

How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?

It varies with the products and the room. We will tell you exactly how long when the job is done.

What do you put in the joint?

It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.

What we do, step by step

Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area and we leave things clean and tidy. For a village or hamlet like Crumbles, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.

  1. Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
  2. We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
  3. The joints are vacuumed clean.
  4. New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
  5. We finish with silicone in the moving joints.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking restrictions
  • For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
  • Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Advice

What happens if it’s left?

Colouring the surface of old grout is a quick cosmetic fix. They won’t fill gaps or keep water out and stains often come back through. Raking out and regrouting replaces the grout itself. Older cottages and farmhouses around Crumbles can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
