Regrouting in Ingatestone
We check the tiles before any grout comes out. 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. We work on wet rooms, kitchen splashbacks and tiled floors, and common reasons people get in touch are grout washed out of a shower and a grout colour that no longer suits the room.
Even in a smaller place like Ingatestone, bathrooms and kitchens see heavy daily use. Older or newer, every room gets the same approach: all the old material out, the joint cleaned and dried, then new sealant or grout.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

What we are called out for in Ingatestone
A bathroom that stays damp keeps the grout wet, and damp grout is where mould grows. When black spots keep returning, the mould has generally got into the grout.
People normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
If you live in an older home near Church of St Edmund and St Mary, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
We will tell you when the area can be used again. Please follow it, and go gently on the grout at first.
If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.
Questions from Ingatestone
Can you do regrouting in Ingatestone?
Yes, Ingatestone is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Ingatestone?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
Normally, yes. The corners and edges should be silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
If tiles are loose, something behind them has generally failed. Regrouting alone is not the answer, and we will tell you before we start.
Will it make a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
If you manage several properties in or around Ingatestone, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
Why act early in Ingatestone
Cracked grout lets water behind the tiles. Left alone, that water can loosen tiles or damage the wall, and then you’re looking at retiling. Dealing with it now keeps it small. Around Ingatestone, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
What you get with us
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels

How it works
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. For a job in Ingatestone, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Different surfaces, different methods
Wet rooms
Wet room grout and sealant need to be in good order. We replace the grout and reseal the edges.
Shower walls
A shower wall is soaked daily, so grout there works hardest. It normally fails first.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. 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.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
