Your questions about regrouting in High Garrett
Will you come out to High Garrett?
Yes. High Garrett is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Braintree 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.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes, plenty of people choose to. A darker grout hides marks better, while lighter grout brightens a room.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we’re done.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Somewhere as small as High Garrett, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
Getting a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will take it from there.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
Wipe the tiles down after a shower stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window to help it dry out.
Stains that won’t clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward, before the joints open up.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Signs you need regrouting in High Garrett
Grout that was put in corners cracks because those joints flex. Those joints should be silicone, and when they aren’t, water gets in.
Look out for these signs:
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Floor grout that won’t come clean
Rented homes near Braintree station change hands often, and clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

What affects the cost of regrouting
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any working-time requirements on site
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- The type of property
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To arrange one, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
