What the job involves on each surface

Grout on a floor is walked on as well as wetted. It wears and darkens over time.
Corners and edges
Where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop, the joint is sealed. Grout there would crack.
About our regrouting in Launton
When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the stain is often in the grout itself. New grout is the fix that lasts, and it’s a chance to change the colour too. Typical jobs include kitchen splashback grout stained by grease and cracked grout along the bath or tray, on bathroom floors, wet rooms and tiled floors.
Around Launton, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, depending on the amount of work. Somewhere as small as Launton, 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.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

What happens if it’s left?
New grout smeared over the old doesn’t bond well. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away, taking any repair with it. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. In a small place like Launton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before we start.

Do you have insurance?

Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Launton.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Can you regrout if a few 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 know where you stand.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Do you reseal at the same time?
In most cases, yes. The corners and edges should be silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.
Launton homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around Church of St Mary, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Schools such as Launton Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

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.
Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
Wipe the tiles down after a shower stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Ventilate the room well so the grout dries between uses.
Grout that’s washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Each shower drives water into the open joints and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.
What we’re called out for in Launton
Some grout fails because it was mixed or laid badly. Grout that was too wet, not packed in or cleaned off too hard tends to wash out early.
The most common problems we see are:
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
