Green Tye homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For landlords with property near Bishops Stortford station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

About our regrouting in Green Tye
Grout is the filler between your tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water can get in behind the tiles. We rake it out and replace it, then reseal the corners and edges. We’re often asked to deal with floor grout that won’t come clean and grout that’s cracking and breaking up, across kitchen splashbacks, bathroom wall tiles and tiled floors.
For a small place like Green Tye, regrouting is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Surface by surface
Shower walls
Shower walls get wet every day, so grout there works hardest. It normally fails first.
Wet rooms
Regrouting a wet room helps keep water on the surface of the tiles. It does not repair failed tanking underneath.
What affects the cost of regrouting
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How many areas need sealing
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Any mould that needs treating
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Where the property is
- The problem you’ve noticed
- How we’d reach the joints
- The rough size of the job
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work and send you a clear quote.
When something else is needed
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Tiles that are chipped or split
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

How the visit works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room from start to finish. Somewhere like Green Tye needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What happens if it’s left?
New grout smeared over the old does not bond well. A thin skin on top tends to break off. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. Older cottages and farmhouses around Green Tye can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
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.
Why book with us
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- 20+ years of sealant experience

- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild

Common problems we fix in Green Tye
A bathroom that stays damp keeps the grout wet, and damp grout is where mould grows. Black marks that come back after cleaning are often in the grout itself.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
In the older streets around Church of St Thomas, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Common questions in Green Tye
Is Green Tye in your area for regrouting?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Green Tye is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you work for landlords with property near Bishops Stortford station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
We seal corners with silicone. They flex, and grout there cracks.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. We will tell you when we quote.
When can I use the shower again?
We will tell you on the day. It depends on the grout and the sealant used, so follow the time we give you.
Is the work guaranteed?
Our one-year guarantee applies to all our work, and we are fully insured.
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.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are 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.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
