How we handle regrouting in Higham
Regrouting is normally paired with resealing. Grout belongs 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’re often asked to deal with cracked grout along the bath or tray and old grout in a dated colour, on tiled floors, wet rooms and kitchen splashbacks.
Around Higham, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.

How the job changes by surface
Wet rooms
Regrouting a wet room helps keep water on the surface of the tiles. It cannot fix waterproofing below the tiles.
Kitchen splashbacks
We can regroute a splashback with the kitchen left in place. The worktop edge is finished with silicone.

What else we do in Higham
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
Before we leave, you’ll know when the shower can be used. Please follow it, 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 and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.
How the visit works
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. In a small place like Higham, access is usually the main thing to plan. 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.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Signs you need regrouting in Higham
Some grout fails because it was mixed or laid badly. Grout that was too wet, not packed in or cleaned off too hard can wash out within a few years.
Look out for any of the following:
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
Homes close to Church of St John include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
What your quote should include
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Are they insured?

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
