Regrouting for homes and businesses in Housham Tye
Most regrouting jobs include resealing too. Grout is for the joints between tiles, but corners and edges move, so they need flexible silicone instead. Doing both at once leaves the whole area sound. Typical jobs include floor grout that won’t come clean and grout in a colour the owner wants to change, across bathroom wall tiles, tiled floors and bathroom floors.
Being in a small place like Housham Tye makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Why act early in Housham Tye
Colouring the surface of old grout is a quick cosmetic fix. They don’t fill cracks or stop water, and stains can show through again. Raking out and regrouting replaces the grout itself. Older cottages and farmhouses around Housham Tye can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

How the job changes by surface
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the whole floor gets wet, so sound grout really matters. We check for loose tiles before starting.
Shower walls
A shower wall is soaked daily, so its grout takes the most punishment. It’s often the first place grout washes out.
Common problems we fix in Housham Tye
A poor original job is a common cause. Grout that was too wet, not packed in or cleaned off too hard tends to wash out early.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
Schools such as Mark Hall School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Who turns up on the day
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- When the joint can take water or movement
How we quote for regrouting
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Any mould that needs treating
- The size of the job
- The number of rooms or windows
- Which sealant suits the joint
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The address or postcode of the job
- How we’d reach the joints
There’s no standard price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout and a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it, as they can break grout down.
Cracked grout does not stay cracked for long. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen, so regrouting early can save a retile.

There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area from start to finish.

- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
