About our regrouting in High Wych
Changing the grout colour is a simple way to update tiles. You might go from white to grey or back again. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote. We work on bathroom wall tiles, tiled floors and bathroom floors, and common reasons people get in touch are grout in a colour the owner wants to change and grout in corners that has cracked.
Around High Wych, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use keeps water off the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window so the grout dries between uses.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. Once that happens, regrouting won’t fix it so early action pays.
Do you need regrouting in High Wych?
Most grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Over time it stains, softens and starts to crumble and showers that get daily use suffer most.
The most common problems we see are:
- Floor grout that won’t come clean
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
Schools such as High Wych Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Bathrooms and kitchens in High Wych
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 stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St James the Great, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Why it’s worth doing now in High Wych
Cracked grout lets water behind the tiles. Left alone, that water can loosen tiles or damage the wall, which turns a regrout into a retile. Sorting it early keeps the job simple. Around High Wych, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

How the visit works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Somewhere as small as High Wych, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Bathroom floors
Grout on a floor is walked on as well as wetted. It wears and darkens over time.
Wet rooms
Both the grout and the silicone in a wet room matter. We renew both.
