About our regrouting in Lexden
Changing the grout colour is a simple way to update tiles. You might go from white to grey or back again. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote. If you have grout that makes sound tiles look old and dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Homes around Lexden range from older cottages to more recent houses. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Lexden as everywhere else we work.

What the job involves on each surface
Shower walls
Most regrouting jobs include a shower. Cracked or missing grout here lets water behind the tiles.
Wet rooms
Wet room grout and sealant need to be in good order. We renew both.
What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. For a job in Lexden, 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.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

When can I use the shower again?

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Quotes for regrouting in Lexden
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Access and height
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Roughly how big the job is
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved and give you a clear quote.
Why deal with it now?
With regrouting, your tiles stay where they are. Retiling means stripping the walls, making good and choosing new tiles, and the room is out of use for longer. When the tiles are fine, it’s the sensible first step. Homes in smaller places like Lexden can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
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 make a difference.
Why book with us
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- A 12-month guarantee on all work

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Have loose tiles looked at early
We’ll tell you when the area can be used again. Please follow it, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away, so regrouting early can save a retile.
When to call us in Lexden
Poor ventilation keeps grout damp, and damp grout is where mould grows. When black spots keep returning, the mould has usually got into the grout.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Floor grout that won’t come clean
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
If you live in an older home near Church of St Leonard, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Are they insured?
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether you can choose the colour
