Regrouting for homes and businesses in Great Maplestead
We check the tiles before any grout comes out. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, because regrouting will not fix what’s behind them. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. We work on bathroom wall tiles, wet rooms and kitchen splashbacks, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked grout along the bath or tray and discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles.
Homes around Great Maplestead are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself usually takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Great Maplestead needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Regrouting around Great Maplestead
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Homes close to Church of St Giles include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Different surfaces, different methods
Wet rooms
Wet rooms have water across the floor, so sound grout really matters. We check for loose tiles before starting.
Kitchen splashbacks
A splashback can be regrouted without touching the worktop. The worktop edge is finished with silicone.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Your questions about regrouting in Great Maplestead
Do you cover Great Maplestead for regrouting?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Great Maplestead is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Is there a guarantee on regrouting in Great Maplestead?
All our work, in Great Maplestead and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
Loose tiles need refixing before regrouting. We will show you which ones before any grout comes out.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes. A lot of our jobs are only the shower, or the area where the grout has gone.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for every job we do.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Leave it or put it right?
Once grout cracks, water can get behind the tiling. Left alone, that water can loosen tiles or damage the wall, and then you are looking at retiling. Dealing with it now keeps it small. In a small place like Great Maplestead, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What you get with us
- Old sealant always removed completely

See what affects the cost and what customers say.
Do you need regrouting in Great Maplestead?
Grout is porous, so water, soap and grime soak into it. Given time, it discolours and begins to break down and showers that get daily use suffer most.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
If you look after a building such as St Giles' Church of England Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
