Great Waltham: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Great Waltham?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Beaulieu Park station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
What guarantee comes with the work?
All our work carries a 12-month guarantee, and we are fully insured.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
Silicone. Grout is for the joints between tiles, while corners and edges need a joint that can move.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Normally, yes. Corners and edges need flexible silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
New grout cannot hold loose tiles in place. We check the tiles first and tell you if any are loose or hollow, so you can decide what to do.
How we handle regrouting in Great Waltham
Grout is the filler between your tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water has a way in behind the tiling. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in and renew the silicone at the edges. If you are dealing with corners filled with grout instead of silicone and old grout in a dated colour, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Homes around Great Waltham 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.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
Give the new grout the time we tell you before using the shower, so it cures fully. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and let the room air.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.
What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. The job usually takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Somewhere like Great Waltham 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.

Advice
Surface by surface
Bathroom floors
Grout on a floor is walked on as well as wetted. It wears and darkens over time.
Wet rooms
Both the grout and the silicone in a wet room matter. We replace the grout and reseal the edges.
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- A leaking wet room membrane
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
- Cracked or broken tiles
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Regrouting around Great Waltham
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For landlords with property near Beaulieu Park station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of SS Mary and Laurence, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Chelmer Valley High School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

What happens if it’s left?
Colouring the surface of old grout is a quick cosmetic fix. They do not fill cracks or stop water and stains often come back through. Raking out and regrouting replaces the grout itself. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Great Waltham, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start.

- The type of sealant required
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The number and length of the joints
- Access and height

What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Roughly how big the job is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If someone has resealed it before
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
