Harrowcross Regrouting
We cover Harrowcross for raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
How we handle regrouting in Harrowcross
Stained, crumbling or cracked grout can make a sound bathroom look tired. With regrouting, the tiles stay and only the grout is renewed, so nothing is ripped out. If you are dealing with a grout colour that no longer suits the room and greasy, stained grout behind the hob, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Around Harrowcross, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Harrowcross
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll quote.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
What happens if it’s left?
Colouring the surface of old grout is a quick cosmetic fix. They will not fill gaps or keep water out and stains often come back through. A proper regrout puts new grout in the joint. Older cottages and farmhouses around Harrowcross can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
Why us?
- Tidy, careful work
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- 12-month guarantee on every job
- More than 20 years in sealant work
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 work takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room in most cases. In a small place like Harrowcross, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us about any water getting in

When it is not the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Tiled floors
- Wet rooms
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Shower walls
- Bathroom floors
- Kitchen splashbacks
How the job changes by surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Tiles away from the shower stay drier but still stain and crack. New grout freshens them up.
Kitchen splashbacks
The grout by the hob and sink takes most of the mess. We renew the grout and the worktop sealant.
DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
FAQs for Harrowcross

What does regrouting cost?

Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it will not last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.

Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we will quote it together.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Harrowcross
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.
Homes close to Church of St Peter include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Schools such as Hedingham School and Sixth Form are buildings too, and washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
