What happens on the day
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Somewhere as small as Hinxton, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
How we handle regrouting in Hinxton
Grout is the filler between your tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water can get in behind the tiles. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in and renew the silicone at the edges. We work on kitchen splashbacks, bathroom floors and wet rooms, and people most often call us about floor grout that has worn and darkened and corners filled with grout instead of silicone.
Around Hinxton, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

Hinxton homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
In the older streets around Parish Church of St Mary and St John the Evangelist, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Common questions in Hinxton
Do you cover smaller places like Hinxton?
Yes. Hinxton 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 Whittlesford Parkway 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 will give you a clear price.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
Regrouting won’t fix loose tiles. We flag any loose or hollow tiles before starting, so you can decide what to do.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
We give you a time before we leave. It depends on the grout and the sealant used so please stick to it.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
Check the corner silicone now and then. It’s the part that moves, so it’s generally the first thing to need attention, long before the grout does.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. Once that happens, regrouting won’t fix it so early action pays.
When it isn’t the sealant
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Tiles that are chipped or split
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Surface by surface
Wet rooms
Wet rooms have water across the floor, so good grout is important. We check for loose tiles before starting.
Shower walls
Shower walls are the most common area we regrout. Cracked or missing grout here lets water behind the tiles.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Hinxton and across Essex. We can quote a run of properties together.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll quote.
What we’re called out for in Hinxton
Poor ventilation keeps grout damp, giving mould a place to grow. Black marks that come back after cleaning are often in the grout itself.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
If you let a flat or house near Whittlesford Parkway station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
What to look for in a quote
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Who turns up on the day
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- When the joint can take water or movement
Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
