Why it’s worth doing now in Gawcott
New grout smeared over the old does not bond well. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. Older cottages and farmhouses around Gawcott can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles

- Tiles that have come away from the wall

How the job changes by surface
Wet rooms
Wet rooms have water across the floor, so sound grout really matters. We check the tiles first.
Shower walls
Shower walls get wet every day, so grout there works hardest. It’s often the first place grout washes out.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
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 fails, we can still redo it.
What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. For a village or hamlet like Gawcott, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Move anything stored near the joints

Advice
Bathrooms and kitchens in Gawcott
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of Holy Trinity, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. Corners flex, so the sealant there will need renewing in time, long before the grout does.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. At this point it’s a simple regrout, before the joints open up.
Common problems we fix in Gawcott
Some grout fails because it was mixed or laid badly. Grout that was too wet, not packed in or cleaned off too hard can wash out within a few years.
Look out for these signs:
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
Schools such as Roundwood Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
