About our regrouting in Hastingwood
A bathroom with good tiles can still look worn if the grout has gone. Regrouting replaces the grout and keeps the tiles you have, so there’s no stripping out and no new tiles to choose. Typical jobs include discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles and old grout in a dated colour, on wet rooms, bathroom wall tiles and tiled floors.
Somewhere as small as Hastingwood, 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, in Hastingwood and everywhere else we cover.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Ventilate the room well so the grout dries between uses.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left for a few years, they can become a leak so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Why act early in Hastingwood
Regrouting keeps the tiles you already have. Retiling is a much bigger job: stripping, making good, new tiles and new grout, and the room is out of use for longer. When the tiles are fine, it’s the sensible first step. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Hastingwood, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why book with us
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet

What regrouting looks like in Hastingwood
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Letting a property close to Harlow Mill station? Then 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 Magdalene, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Harsh cleaners and scrubbing wear grout away. Bleach and acidic limescale removers can attack it over time, leaving the joints sunken and rough.
Look out for any of the following:
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened

What affects the cost of regrouting
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The product the joint needs
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether the work is at height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Rather than a set price list, 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.

Hastingwood questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Harlow Mill station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Hastingwood?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
When can I use the shower again?
We will tell you on the day. The wait depends on the products and conditions, so follow the time we give you.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes. A lot of our jobs are only the shower, or the area where the grout has gone.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Cracked or broken tiles
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Bathroom floors
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Tiled floors
- Shower walls
- Wet rooms
The process
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. For a village or hamlet like Hastingwood, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
