How we handle regrouting in Great Totham
We check the tiles before any grout comes out. Loose or hollow tiles are pointed out first, because regrouting will not fix what’s behind them. With sound tiles, regrouting is a tidy, lasting improvement. We work on wet rooms, bathroom floors and tiled floors, and the jobs we see most are old grout in a dated colour and splashback grout that has darkened.
In and around Great Totham, older properties sit alongside newer ones. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Great Totham questions
I let a flat near Witham station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Great Totham?
Yes, we do. 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.
How do I get a quote for regrouting in Great Totham?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, including preparation and clearing up. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes. A lot of our jobs are only the shower, or just the joints that have failed.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.

Why deal with it now?
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. In an older home around Great Totham, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
