Regrouting in Hothfield, done properly

A grout colour change can freshen a room without retiling. You might go from white to grey or back again. Just mention the colour you’d like when you ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. We work on shower walls, bathroom floors and tiled floors, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps where the shower grout has gone and grout that’s cracking and breaking up.

Around Hothfield, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.

We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Hothfield homes and their sealant

Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.

If you look after a building such as The Hayesbrook School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Charing station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

Can I do it myself?

Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

FAQs for Hothfield

Do you work for landlords with property near Charing station?

Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.

Will you come out to Hothfield?

Yes, Hothfield is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.

Do I have to be there?

Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.

Do the sealants smell?

Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.

Are you fully insured?

Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.

Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?

Yes, plenty of people choose to. A darker grout hides marks better and lighter grout gives a fresher look.

Should corners be grouted or sealed?

Corners get silicone, not grout. They move slightly, and grout there cracks.

What do you put in the joint?

Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.

How the visit works

Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. In a small place like Hothfield, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.

  1. We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
  2. We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
  3. The joints are vacuumed clean.
  4. We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
  5. We finish with silicone in the moving joints.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
  • Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
  • Clear the area around the work

Ask for a quote

It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Advice

Signs you need regrouting in Hothfield

Soap scum and limescale build up on grout and stick to it. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, and at that point, new grout is the better answer.

People normally contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
  • Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
  • Floor grout that has worn and darkened
  • Gaps where the shower grout has gone

For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Margaret, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Questions to ask before booking

  • The length of the guarantee
  • Whether they seal over old material or remove it
  • What happens if the job turns out different
  • Which sealant they’ll use, and why

10 questions to ask before you book

What affects the cost of regrouting

Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:

  • The size of the job
  • Mould in or behind the old joints
  • How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
  • The product the joint needs

The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

Helping us quote

When you call or email, these details help:

  • Whether it has been sealed before
  • Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
  • The address or postcode of the job
  • Roughly how big the job is

The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that’s easy.

When something else is needed

To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:

  • Movement in a stud wall or floor
  • Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Tiles that are chipped or split

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

What we seal

  • Kitchen splashbacks
  • Bathroom wall tiles
  • Shower walls
  • Bathroom floors
  • Tiled floors
  • Wet rooms

How the job changes by surface

Wet rooms

New grout in a wet room keeps the surface sound. It cannot fix waterproofing below the tiles.

Bathroom floors

If floor grout keeps cracking, the floor may be moving. We check the tiles before regrouting.
