Questions from Hartley
What guarantee comes with regrouting in Hartley?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will you come out to Hartley?
Yes, Hartley is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for householders, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Loose or hollow tiles are a sign of a problem behind them. Regrouting alone isn’t the answer and we’ll say so before going ahead.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
What does regrouting cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes. Because the old grout is raked out, the new colour goes all the way into the joint, not just the surface.
Regrouting in Hartley
We regroute showers, bathroom walls and floors, splashbacks and wet rooms. It can be a full room, others just the shower. Either way, tiled areas in Hartley are handled the same careful way. We’re often asked to deal with cracked or crumbling grout lines and shower grout that has worn away, across shower walls, wet rooms and bathroom wall tiles.
Somewhere as small as Hartley, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.

How the visit works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work usually takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area.

We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. Corners flex, so it’s normally the first thing to need attention.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left for a few years, they can become a leak, so get it looked at when you notice it.
Why act early in Hartley
It’s tempting to fill a few cracks yourself, but the patches often don’t match and the old grout carries on failing. Regrouting the whole area gives an even, lasting finish. Around Hartley, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Do you need regrouting in Hartley?
Soap scum and limescale build up on grout and stick to it. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, which is when replacing it makes sense.
People usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
Around Hartley, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.
