Regrouting in Eastwood: local notes

Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.

Rented homes near Harrietsham station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

Regrouting for homes and businesses in Eastwood

Grout fills the gaps between tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water can get in behind the tiles. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in and renew the silicone at the edges. If you are dealing with cracked or crumbling grout lines and shower grout that has worn away, we can put it right.

Being in a small place like Eastwood makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.

All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

What affects the cost of regrouting

Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:

  • Mould in or behind the old joints
  • Whether the work is at height
  • The product the joint needs
  • How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove

Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

What to tell us for a quote

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:

  • Roughly how big the job is
  • The problem you’ve noticed
  • Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
  • If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel

Why deal with it now?

New grout smeared over the old does not bond well. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away, taking any repair with it. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. In a small place like Eastwood, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

Rather than a set price list, 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.

Keeping the joints in good condition

How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:

  • Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
  • Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
  • Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
  • Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner

Use a gentle cleaner on the grout with a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers because they wear grout away.

Cracked grout does not stay cracked for long. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.

What we can’t put right

Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:

  • Tiles that are chipped or split
  • Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
  • A leaking wet room membrane

If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Questions from Eastwood

Do you cover Eastwood for regrouting?

Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Eastwood is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.

Is Eastwood within the area you cover?

Yes. Eastwood is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a 12-month guarantee, and we are fully insured.

Do you take out the old sealant first?

Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.

Can you change the grout colour?

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

Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?

New grout cannot hold loose tiles in place. We flag any loose or hollow tiles before starting so you know where you stand.

Is it messy?

No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.

Can tenants book the work?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Surface by surface

Bathroom wall tiles

Splash areas around basins and baths stain first. We can do part of a wall or all of it.

Wet rooms

Wet room grout and sealant need to be in good order. We renew both.

How the visit works

All our tools and materials come with us in the van. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. In a small place like Eastwood, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.

  1. Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
  2. The old grout is removed to an even depth.
  3. We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
  4. We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
  5. We finish with silicone in the moving joints.

How to prepare

  • Move anything stored near the joints
  • Tell us if parking is tricky
  • Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Getting a quote

Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.

Related advice

Common problems we fix in Eastwood

Soap scum and limescale build up on grout that’s hard to shift. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, and at that point, new grout is the better answer.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Grout in corners that has cracked
  • Shower grout that has worn away
  • Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
  • Good tiles let down by tired grout

Schools such as Ulcombe Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
  • Is the old sealant removed completely?
  • What the cure time is
