Regrouting around Latton
Harlow, which Latton is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. With many homes dating from the post-war decades, plenty of bathrooms have been resealed or refitted more than once. Sealant laid over old sealant never bonds properly, so it all has to come out. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you let a flat or house near Harlow Town station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Church Langley Community Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

How it works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room in most cases. Somewhere as small as Latton, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Surface by surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Grout by the basin and bath tends to mark 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 happens if it’s left?
New grout smeared over the old does not bond well. A thin skin on top tends to break off, taking any repair with it. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. In a small place like Latton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

What affects the cost of regrouting
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Access and height
- The number of rooms or windows
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The rough size of the job
- Where the property is
We do not publish a price list. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To arrange one, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

FAQs for Latton
Will you come out to Latton?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Should the sealant in an older Latton home be renewed?
Normally, yes, if it’s cracked, shrunk, mouldy or coming away. The key is cutting all the old sealant out, as new sealant won’t bond to it.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
We can. We will check the other tiled areas as well and tell you if anything else needs attention.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Silicone. Grout is for the joints between tiles and moving joints need sealant.
Do you need regrouting in Latton?
Poor ventilation keeps grout damp, and damp grout is where mould grows. When black spots keep returning, the mould has normally got into the grout.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
Homes close to Church of St Andrew include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
