DIY versus a professional finish

A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.

Regrouting in Hickmans Green

Most regrouting jobs include resealing too. Grout is for the joints between tiles, but corners and edges move, so they’re sealed with silicone rather than grout. Renewing both together means nothing is left half-done. We are often asked to deal with a grout colour that no longer suits the room and cracked grout along the bath or tray, across bathroom floors, tiled floors and wet rooms.

For a small place like Hickmans Green, regrouting is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.

A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How the job changes by surface

Corners and edges

We reseal edges at the same time as regrouting, so the whole area is finished together.

Bathroom floors

Cracked floor grout can point to movement underneath. We check the tiles before regrouting.

Aftercare tips

Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:

  • Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
  • Use gentle cleaners on grout
  • Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
  • Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal

We’ll tell you when the area can be used again. Stick to that time, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.

Cracked grout does not stay cracked for long. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen, so regrouting early can save a retile.

Your questions about regrouting in Hickmans Green

Can you do regrouting in Hickmans Green?

Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Hickmans Green is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.

Is Hickmans Green within the area you cover?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

Can tenants book the work?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How long does regrouting take?

Typically it takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.

Will the old sealant be removed?

Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.

What do you put in the joint?

We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we are using.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Just list everything you need and you will get one quote.

Do you work for letting agents?

Yes. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do.

When it is not the sealant

Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:

  • A leaking shower valve or waste
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A structure that flexes behind the tiles

Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we seal

  • Wet rooms

Bathrooms and kitchens in Hickmans Green

Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.

Schools such as Boughton-under-Blean and Dunkirk Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For an older house near a landmark such as St Barnabas, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Letting a property close to Selling station? Then stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

What we do, step by step

Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area and we leave things clean and tidy.

  2. We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
  3. We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
  4. We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
  5. We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
