FAQs for Great Burgh
Is Great Burgh within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do regrouting in Great Burgh?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Great Burgh is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
In most cases, yes. The corners and edges should be silicone, and it makes sense to renew both together.
How much does regrouting cost in Great Burgh?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a short description of the job.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
About our regrouting in Great Burgh
Grout is the filler between your tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water has a way in behind the tiling. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in and renew the silicone at the edges. Typical jobs include discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles and shower grout that has worn away, across bathroom floors, shower walls and kitchen splashbacks.
Even in a smaller place like Great Burgh, bathrooms and kitchens see heavy daily use. Older or newer, every room gets the same approach: old sealant or grout cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

When to call us in Great Burgh
Soap scum and limescale build up on grout and stick to it. 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:
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
If you live in an older home near St Mark, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

What happens on the day
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work usually takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. A visit to Great Burgh is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.

- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Getting ready for the visit

- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
Getting a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.
Advice
How the job changes by surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Whole bathroom walls can be regrouted in one visit or more, depending on the area. You can change the colour at the same time.
Shower walls
Showers put more water on grout than anywhere else. We replace it, and reseal the corners.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner with a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers because they wear grout away.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. By then, new grout alone isn’t enough, so it’s worth acting early.
