Regrouting around Great Canney
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Homes close to Parish Church of St Mary include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Letting a property close to North Fambridge station? Then stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. Schools such as Cold Norton Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

About our regrouting in Great Canney
Most regrouting jobs include resealing too. Grout is for the joints between tiles, but internal corners and edges flex, so they’re sealed with silicone rather than grout. Renewing both together means nothing is left half-done. We work on tiled floors, bathroom wall tiles and kitchen splashbacks, and common reasons people get in touch are grout in a colour the owner wants to change and grout that makes sound tiles look old.
Homes around Great Canney are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
- Tiles that have come away from the wall

How the job changes by surface
Bathroom floors
Cracked floor grout can point to movement underneath. We look for loose tiles first.
Shower walls
Shower walls are the most common area we regrout. Cracked or missing grout here lets water behind the tiles.
Why act early in Great Canney
Colouring the surface of old grout is a quick cosmetic fix. They won’t fill gaps or keep water out and stains often come back through. A proper regrout puts new grout in the joint. Around Great Canney, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first.

Common questions in Great Canney
I let a flat near North Fambridge station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Great Canney in your area for regrouting?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Great Canney is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured.
What does regrouting cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it will not last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout with a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers because they wear grout away.
Cracked grout does not stay cracked for long. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen, so regrouting early can save a retile.
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
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
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself generally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, depending on how much there is to do. Somewhere like Great Canney needs a little journey planning: 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.
