Regrouting in Horseman Side

How we handle regrouting in Horseman Side

Across Horseman Side, we regrout tiled showers, bathrooms and kitchens. The old grout is raked out, the joints cleaned and new grout laid, and we finish by resealing the edges. Typical jobs include grout that’s cracking and breaking up and old grout in a dated colour, across wet rooms, bathroom floors and shower walls.

Around Horseman Side, 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.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

Common problems we fix in Horseman Side

A poor original job is a common cause. If it was mixed too wet or not pressed in firmly tends to wash out early.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
  • A grout colour that no longer suits the room
  • Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
  • Grout washed out of a shower

In the older streets around Church of St Paul, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Which sealant they’ll use, and why
  • What the quote includes, VAT included or not
  • Whether you can choose the colour
  • The length of the guarantee

10 questions to ask before booking

Landlord and commercial work in Horseman Side

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.

If you manage several properties in or around Horseman Side, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each.

Keeping the joints in good condition

Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:

  • Have loose tiles looked at early
  • Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
  • Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
  • Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout

We will tell you when the area can be used again. Stick to that time, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.

Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left, the same problem can let water through, so get it looked at when you notice it.

Different surfaces, different methods

Wet rooms

Both the grout and the silicone in a wet room matter. We replace the grout and reseal the edges.

Shower walls

Shower walls are the most common area we regrout. Cracked or missing grout here lets water behind the tiles.

The process

Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Somewhere like Horseman Side needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.

  1. We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
  2. The old grout is removed to an even depth.
  3. The joints are vacuumed clean.
  4. New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
  5. We finish with silicone in the moving joints.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
  • Clear the area around the work

DIY sealant or a professional job?

A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

What affects the quote in Horseman Side

Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:

  • Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
  • The number of rooms or windows
  • Whether there’s mould to deal with
  • Which sealant suits the joint

Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

What we need to know

Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:

  • The problem you’ve noticed
  • A few pictures by email, if you can
  • If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
  • Where the property is

The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add pictures by email if you can.
