Regrouting in Ivy Hatch: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Lawrence Church of England Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near Ivy Hatch Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

About our regrouting in Ivy Hatch
If you’ve been scrubbing grout that will not come clean, the stain is often in the grout itself. New grout is the fix that lasts and you can pick a different colour while you are at it. Typical jobs include shower grout that has worn away and crumbling grout between the tiles, across tiled floors, kitchen splashbacks and bathroom wall tiles.
Homes around Ivy Hatch are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Why it’s worth doing now in Ivy Hatch
Regrouting won’t help where tiles have come away. We point that out first so you know what’s involved. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting is far less disruptive than retiling. In a small place like Ivy Hatch, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window to help it dry out.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left, the same problem can let water through so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
Surface by surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Splash areas around basins and baths stain first. We can regroute just those areas or the whole wall.
Corners and edges
Where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop, the joint is sealed. Grout in that joint wouldn’t last.
What affects the quote in Ivy Hatch
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether the work is at height
- The amount of work
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Helping us quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- How we’d reach the joints
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
To get a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. We will send you a clear quote before any work starts.
What happens on the day
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job normally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere as small as Ivy Hatch, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
Getting a quote
We don’t publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Common questions in Ivy Hatch
Is Ivy Hatch within the area you cover?
Yes, Ivy Hatch is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is Ivy Hatch in your area for regrouting?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Ivy Hatch is part of that. 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.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
New grout cannot hold loose tiles in place. We check the tiles first and tell you if any are loose or hollow, so you can decide what to do.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Silicone. Grout belongs between the tiles, while corners and edges need a joint that can move.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
When to call us in Ivy Hatch
Grout that was put in corners cracks as the bath or tray moves. Those joints should be silicone, and if they’re grouted, a crack soon lets water in.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
