How we handle regrouting in Gushmere
Before any work starts, the tiles are checked. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, because regrouting will not fix what’s behind them. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. We’re often asked to deal with crumbling grout between the tiles and a grout colour that no longer suits the room, on bathroom wall tiles, bathroom floors and wet rooms.
Around Gushmere, it’s 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.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
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.
Common problems we fix in Gushmere
A bathroom that stays damp keeps the grout wet, and damp grout is where mould grows. When black spots keep returning, the mould has normally got into the grout.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Grout in corners that has cracked
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Selling Church of England Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Questions from Gushmere
I let a flat near Selling station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Gushmere in your area for regrouting?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Gushmere is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
If tiles are loose, something behind them has generally failed. Regrouting alone is not the answer, and we will tell you before work begins.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
What should I tell you?
Tell us what needs doing and where. If we need more, we will ask.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes, that is common. The shower normally fails first, so it’s often the only area that needs doing.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

How the visit works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Gushmere, the journey is planned in advance: 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 agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
How to get a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
Advice
Gushmere homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you let a flat or house near Selling 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 St Mary, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

What else we do in Gushmere
What happens if it’s left?
Cracked grout lets water behind the tiles. Left alone, that water can loosen tiles or damage the wall, and then you are looking at retiling. Sorting it early keeps the job simple. In a small place like Gushmere, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
What you get with us
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- Fully insured
What affects the quote in Gushmere
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- The address or postcode of the job
