How to look after the new joints

To keep the joints looking good and working properly:

  • Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
  • Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
  • Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
  • Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner

A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Ventilate the room well so the grout dries between uses.

Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. By then, new grout alone isn’t enough so early action pays.

Regrouting in Hoo St Werburgh

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. We rake it out and replace it, then reseal the corners and edges. We are often asked to deal with grout that’s cracking and breaking up and corners filled with grout instead of silicone, on shower walls, tiled floors and bathroom wall tiles.

Homes around Hoo St Werburgh range from older cottages to more recent houses. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.

We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

What affects the quote in Hoo St Werburgh

The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:

  • How easy the joints are to reach
  • Any working-time requirements on site
  • The size of the job
  • Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out

What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.

What to tell us for a quote

Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:

  • Where the property is
  • Photos by email, if that is easy
  • If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
  • The rough size of the job

Need a quote? Please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details. You’ll know what we plan to do, and what it will cost, before any work begins.

What sealant work can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different trade:

  • A leaking wet room membrane
  • A floor or wall that keeps moving
  • Cracked or broken tiles

Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

The process

Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. In a smaller place like Hoo St Werburgh, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.

  1. We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
  2. We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
  3. Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
  4. Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
  5. The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
  • Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
  • Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

How the job changes by surface

Bathroom floors

Regrouting a floor brightens the whole room. The edges where floor meets wall or bath get silicone.

Bathroom wall tiles

Tiles away from the shower stay drier but still stain and crack. Regrouting brings them back in line.

What we are called out for in Hoo St Werburgh

Poor ventilation keeps grout damp, and damp grout is where mould grows. When black spots keep returning, the mould has normally got into the grout.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
  • Grout washed out of a shower
  • Floor grout that will not come clean
  • Grout in corners that has cracked

If you live in an older home near Church of St Werburgh, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

10 questions to ask before booking

What regrouting looks like in Hoo St Werburgh

Hoo St Werburgh is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.

Letting a property close to Gillingham (Kent) station? Then stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hoo St Werburgh Primary School and Marlborough Centre, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Why act early in Hoo St Werburgh

With regrouting, your tiles stay where they are. Retiling is a much bigger job: stripping, making good, new tiles and new grout, and the room is out of use for longer. When the tiles are fine, it’s the sensible first step. In an older home around Hoo St Werburgh, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
