About our regrouting in Great Wakering

If you’ve been scrubbing grout that won’t come clean, the discolouration has generally soaked into the grout. Replacing it is the lasting answer, and it’s a chance to change the colour too. If you have gaps where the shower grout has gone and grout that’s cracking and breaking up, we can put it right, whatever the surface.

Smaller places like Great Wakering still have plenty of bathrooms that work hard every day. Older or newer, every room gets the same approach: old sealant or grout cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.

There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

FAQs for Great Wakering

Will you come out to Great Wakering?

Yes. Great Wakering is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.

Can you do regrouting in Great Wakering?

Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Great Wakering is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, regularly. We can quote for several properties at once.

Do you take out the old sealant first?

Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.

Can I do it myself?

It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.

Does someone need to be in?

It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.

Is it OK to seal over old sealant?

No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.

What do you need from me for a quote?

Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Quotes for regrouting in Great Wakering

We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:

  • The number and length of the joints
  • Whether the work is at height
  • Any working-time requirements on site
  • Mould in or behind the old joints

Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

What to tell us for a quote

Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:

  • Whether it’s a home or a business
  • Whether it has been sealed before
  • Where the property is
  • Access, such as stairs, a lift or height

For regrouting in Great Wakering, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. Tell us what the problem is and where, and we’ll agree the price before any work begins.

What we cannot put right

Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:

  • Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A floor or wall that keeps moving

Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we seal

  • Tiled floors
  • Kitchen splashbacks
  • Bathroom wall tiles
  • Bathroom floors
  • Shower walls
  • Wet rooms

Looking after it afterwards

To keep the joints looking good and working properly:

  • Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
  • Have loose tiles looked at early
  • Give the walls a quick rinse after use
  • Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner

Wipe the tiles down after a shower keeps water off the grout. Ventilate the room well so the grout dries between uses.

Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left for a few years, they can become a leak, so get it looked at when you notice it.

Should I try it myself first?

Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.

If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.

Regrouting around Great Wakering

Great Wakering is within about 2 miles of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.

If you live in an older home near Church of St Nicholas, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. For landlords with property near Shoeburyness station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

Great Wakering is about 1 mile north-east of Shoeburyness, in Southend-on-Sea. If you need regrouting in Great Wakering, it’s easy to get a quote: please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Common problems we fix in Great Wakering

Poor ventilation keeps grout damp, giving mould a place to grow. When black spots keep returning, the mould has normally got into the grout.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
  • Grout that makes sound tiles look old
  • Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
  • Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease

Questions to ask before you book

  • How much experience the applicator has
  • How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
  • Whether all the old sealant comes out first
  • How the colour is chosen

How to choose a mastic man

How it works

There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room in most cases. For a job in Great Wakering, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.

  1. Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
  2. The old grout is removed to an even depth.
  3. The joints are vacuumed clean.
  4. New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
  5. Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.

How to prepare

  • Mention any tricky access
  • Let us know about parking restrictions
  • Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
