About our regrouting in Greensted
We work across Greensted, regrouting bathrooms, showers and kitchens. The old grout is raked out, the joints cleaned and new grout laid, finished with new silicone at the edges. Common call-outs are for a grout colour that no longer suits the room and cracked grout along the bath or tray, on kitchen splashbacks, bathroom wall tiles and bathroom floors.
Somewhere as small as Greensted, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Somewhere as small as Greensted, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Common questions in Greensted
Can you do regrouting in Greensted?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Greensted is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Is there a guarantee on regrouting in Greensted?
All our work, in Greensted and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, regularly. Several properties can go on one quote.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
Yes. It’s the ideal time to change it. Mention the colour you have in mind when you call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Common problems we fix in Greensted
Grout used in corners or along the bath cracks as the bath or tray moves. They need flexible sealant, and if they’re grouted, a crack soon lets water in.
The most common problems we see are:
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Floor grout that won’t come clean
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Splashback grout that has darkened
If you live in an older home near Greensted Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Why it’s worth doing now in Greensted
With regrouting, your tiles stay where they are. Retiling is a much bigger job: stripping, making good, new tiles and new grout, and the room is out of use for longer. If the tiles are sound, regrouting is the simpler fix. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Greensted, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Why us?
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Full insurance on every job
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet

Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
