Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Regrouting in Ickleton
Stained, crumbling or cracked grout can make a sound bathroom look tired. With regrouting, the tiles stay and only the grout is renewed, so nothing is ripped out. If you are dealing with grout that makes sound tiles look old and crumbling grout between the tiles, we can help, whatever the surface.
Homes around Ickleton are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

Common problems we fix in Ickleton
A poor original job is a common cause. If it was mixed too wet or not pressed in firmly can wash out within a few years.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
In the older streets around Parish Church of St Mary Magdalen, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use keeps water off the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window to help it dry out.
If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Ickleton
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you let a flat or house near Great Chesterford station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. Managing a site like Great Chesterford Church of England Primary Academy? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Questions from Ickleton
Will you come out to Ickleton?
Yes. Ickleton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Great Chesterford station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
How long should I wait before showering?
We give you a time before we leave. It depends on the grout and the sealant used, so follow the time we give you.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you grout the corners?
Corners get silicone, not grout. They flex and grout cannot take that movement.
What should I tell you?
Tell us what needs doing and where. If we need more, we will ask.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
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 fails, we can still redo it.
What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Ickleton needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

What the job involves on each surface
Bathroom wall tiles
We can regroute all the walls in a bathroom, depending on the area. It’s a good time to change the grout colour.
Shower walls
A shower wall is soaked daily, so its grout takes the most punishment. It normally fails first.
