Regrouting in Epwell from a team with over 20 years’ experience. Rated 4.9 on Google from 180+ five-star reviews.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
- Rinse the tiles after showering
Wipe the tiles down after a shower stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Ventilate the room well to help it dry out.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left for a few years, they can become a leak, so get it looked at when you notice it.
Regrouting in Epwell
Most regrouting jobs include resealing too. Grout belongs between tiles, but internal corners and edges flex, so they need flexible silicone instead. Renewing both together means nothing is left half-done. If you have crumbling grout between the tiles and a grout colour that no longer suits the room, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Epwell, 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.

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
What affects the quote in Epwell
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The size of the job
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Any mould that needs treating
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
What to tell us for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The problem you’ve noticed
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will come back to you with a quote.

Regrouting around Epwell
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Anne, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Leave it or put it right?
If tiles are loose, regrouting alone is not the answer. We point that out first so you know what’s involved. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting is far less disruptive than retiling. Older cottages and farmhouses around Epwell can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.

Take a look at what affects the cost and our reviews.
Do you need regrouting in Epwell?
Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, so we check the tiles before we start.
The most common problems we see are:
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
In and around Epwell, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Your questions about regrouting in Epwell
Is regrouting in Epwell guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Epwell in your area for regrouting?
Yes, Epwell is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes. A lot of our jobs are only the shower, or just the joints that have failed.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do, and we’re fully insured.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
How it works
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Somewhere as small as Epwell, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
