What the job involves on each surface
Kitchen splashbacks
Splashback grout picks up grease and cooking stains. Once it’s stained, new grout is often the only fix.
Bathroom wall tiles
We can regroute all the walls in a bathroom, depending on size. You can change the colour at the same time.
Regrouting in Great Saling
Stained, crumbling or cracked grout can make a sound bathroom look tired. With regrouting, the tiles stay and only the grout is renewed, so nothing is ripped out. If you have gaps where the shower grout has gone and old grout in a dated colour, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Great Saling, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Can I do it myself?
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 a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Great Saling homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St James, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Why deal with it now?
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Great Saling, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first.

What we are called out for in Great Saling
When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, which is why we check the tiles first.
Look out for any of the following:
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
If you let a flat or house near Braintree station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant

Your questions about regrouting in Great Saling
Will you come out to Great Saling?
Yes, Great Saling is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords with property near Braintree station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
How long does regrouting take?
Typically it takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes. A lot of our jobs are only the shower, or just the joints that have failed.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes. Because the old grout is raked out, the new colour goes all the way into the joint rather than sitting on top.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It generally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Somewhere like Great Saling needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. 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.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Landlord and commercial work in Great Saling
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
If you manage several properties in or around Great Saling, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Rinse the tiles after showering
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. It’s the part that moves, so it’s generally the first thing to need attention, long before the grout does.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left for a few years, they can become a leak so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
