What affects the cost of regrouting
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Which sealant suits the joint
- When we can work, for business premises
- How much there is to do
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the property is
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work.
Regrouting in Hornestreet
Before work begins, the tiles are checked. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, because regrouting will not fix what’s behind them. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. Common call-outs are for grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned and floor grout that won’t come clean, on tiled floors, wet rooms and bathroom wall tiles.
Being in a small place like Hornestreet makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

When it is not the sealant
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Tiles that are chipped or split
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we are called out for in Hornestreet
Grout is porous, so water, soap and grime soak into it. Given time, it discolours and begins to break down and showers that get daily use suffer most.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
Schools such as Langham Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long to leave it before use
- Are they insured?
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Which colour the sealant will be
Surface by surface
Shower walls
Shower walls get wet every day, so grout there works hardest. It usually fails first.
Bathroom wall tiles
We can regroute all the walls in a bathroom, depending on size. You can change the colour at the same time.
Why it’s worth doing now in Hornestreet
Once grout cracks, water can get behind the tiling. Leave it, and the adhesive or the wall behind can suffer, and then you’re looking at retiling. Dealing with it now keeps it small. Older cottages and farmhouses around Hornestreet can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Hornestreet
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For landlords with property near Colchester station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.
