How we handle regrouting in Faulkbourne
A bathroom with good tiles can still look worn if the grout has gone. With regrouting, the tiles stay and only the grout is renewed, so nothing is ripped out. Common call-outs are for kitchen splashback grout stained by grease and grout that makes sound tiles look old, on tiled floors, bathroom wall tiles and wet rooms.
For a small place like Faulkbourne, regrouting is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

What affects the cost of regrouting
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- When we can work, for business premises
- Access and height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Whether it has been sealed before
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
Every job is quoted individually. Simply ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and describe the job, and photos are welcome.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
If you manage several properties in or around Faulkbourne, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and pictures by email help.
Why deal with it now?
Cracked grout lets water behind the tiles. Leave it, and the adhesive or the wall behind can suffer, which turns a regrout into a retile. Sorting it early keeps the job simple. Around Faulkbourne, older homes often have timber in their 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 we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
Wipe the tiles down after a shower keeps water off the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window to help it dry out.
Grout that is washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Faulkbourne, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
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. Everything old must be removed first.
