Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Landlords and agents in Great Canfield can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Regrouting for homes and businesses in Great Canfield
Most regrouting jobs include resealing too. Grout belongs between tiles, but corners and edges move, so they’re sealed with silicone rather than grout. Renewing both together means nothing is left half-done. We work on bathroom floors, shower walls and bathroom wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are grout that makes sound tiles look old and grout in a colour the owner wants to change.
Around Great Canfield, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Cracked or broken tiles
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. Corners flex, so it’s normally the first thing to need attention.
Cracked grout doesn’t stay cracked for long. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen, so regrouting early can save a retile.
Great Canfield: your questions answered
Do you cover Great Canfield for regrouting?
Yes, Great Canfield is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is Great Canfield within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
In most cases, yes. Corners and edges need flexible silicone, and it makes sense to renew both together.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, regularly. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Surface by surface
Shower walls
Most regrouting jobs include a shower. Gaps here let water get behind the tiling.
Kitchen splashbacks
Splashback grout picks up grease and cooking stains. Once it’s stained, new grout is often the only fix.
What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. For a village or hamlet like Great Canfield, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
Regrouting around Great Canfield
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, 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 Parish Church of St Mary, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Around Great Canfield

Do you need regrouting in Great Canfield?
A poor original job is a common cause. If it was mixed too wet or not pressed in firmly tends to wash out early.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Grout washed out of a shower
Letting a property close to Stansted Airport station? Then stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
