About our regrouting in Dukes Green

We check the tiles before any grout comes out. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, because regrouting won’t fix what’s behind them. With sound tiles, regrouting is a tidy, lasting improvement. We work on tiled floors, wet rooms and bathroom floors, and common reasons people get in touch are grout washed out of a shower and grout in corners that has cracked.

Somewhere as small as Dukes Green, 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.

Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Leave it or put it right?

If tiles are loose, regrouting alone is not the answer. We will tell you before any work starts, so you can decide what to do. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Dukes Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

When something else is needed

We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:

  • Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
  • Cracked or broken tiles
  • Water coming from plumbing rather than grout

If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.

Regrouting in Dukes Green: local notes

Dukes Green is within about 3 miles of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.

Letting a property close to Berwick (Sussex) station? Then clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of St Michael the Archangel, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. If you look after a building such as Alfriston School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

Dukes Green: your questions answered

I let a flat near Berwick (Sussex) station. Can you help?

Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.

Do you cover Dukes Green for regrouting?

Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Dukes Green is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.

Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?

Yes. It’s the ideal time to change it. Tell us the colour you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Is resealing included with regrouting?

Usually, yes. Corners and edges need flexible silicone, and it makes sense to renew both together.

What sealant do you use?

Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.

Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?

Yes, that’s common. The shower usually fails first, so many people regrout just that part.

What guarantee comes with the work?

You get our 12-month guarantee on every job. We’re also fully insured.

Will it make a mess?

Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we’re done.

Aftercare tips

No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:

  • Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
  • Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
  • Check the corner silicone every few months
  • Keep the fan on after showering

We’ll tell you when the area can be used again. Stick to that time, and go gently on the grout at first.

Cracked grout doesn’t stay cracked for long. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen, so regrouting early can save a retile.

How we quote for regrouting

Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The amount of work
  • Which sealant suits the joint
  • How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
  • Working hours on commercial sites

Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

What to tell us for a quote

When you contact us, these details help:

  • The address or postcode of the job
  • Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
  • What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
  • Roughly how big the job is

Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.

DIY versus a professional finish

Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Surface by surface

Kitchen splashbacks

We can regroute a splashback with the kitchen left in place. The worktop edge is finished with silicone.

Corners and edges

Where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop, the joint is sealed. Grout in that joint wouldn’t last.

How the visit works

A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. It normally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Somewhere like Dukes Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.

  1. We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
  2. The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
  3. We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
  4. New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
  5. Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.

Getting ready for the visit

  • For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
  • Keep children and pets away from the work area
  • Let us know about parking restrictions
