Your questions about regrouting in High Ongar
Is there a guarantee on regrouting in High Ongar?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover smaller places like High Ongar?
Yes. High Ongar is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
In most cases, yes. The corners and edges should be silicone, and it makes sense to renew both together.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels in High Ongar.
How long should I wait before showering?
We give you a time before we leave. The wait depends on the products and conditions so please stick to it.
What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere like High Ongar needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Related advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
Have any tile that moves checked straight away. Movement will crack the new grout and open a path for water.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. By then, new grout alone is not enough so early action pays.
Surface by surface
Shower walls
Showers put more water on grout than anywhere else. We rake it out and regrout and renew the silicone at the edges.
Bathroom floors
Regrouting a floor brightens the whole room. Floor-to-wall and bath joints are sealed, not grouted.
Why it’s worth doing now in High Ongar
Regrouting keeps the tiles you already have. Retiling means stripping the walls, making good and choosing new tiles, and often a few days without a shower. When the tiles are fine, it’s the sensible first step. Older cottages and farmhouses around High Ongar can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
- Tiles that are chipped or split
- A leaking shower valve or waste
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Shower walls
- Tiled floors
- Bathroom floors
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen splashbacks
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
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.
