Why it’s worth doing now in Lilyvale

Cracked grout lets water behind the tiles. Left alone, that water can loosen tiles or damage the wall, and then you are looking at retiling. Dealing with it now keeps it small. In a small place like Lilyvale, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

Regrouting for homes and businesses in Lilyvale

If you’ve been scrubbing grout that won’t 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’re at it. If you have stained grout that cleaning won’t shift and gaps where the shower grout has gone, we can put it right.

Around Lilyvale, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.

A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

What affects the cost of regrouting

The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:

  • The number and length of the joints
  • The number of rooms or windows
  • How easy the joints are to reach
  • The old material and how stubborn it is

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’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Asking for a quote

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:

  • The address or postcode of the job
  • If someone has resealed it before
  • The type of property
  • Pictures of the joints, sent by email

To get a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the location and a short description of the problem. We will give you a clear quote before any work starts.

Lilyvale homes and their sealant

Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.

For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Smeeth Community Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Letting a property close to Westenhanger station? Then a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

Wet rooms

New grout in a wet room keeps the surface sound. It does not repair failed tanking underneath.

Corners and edges

Edges are resealed while we are there, so everything is renewed at once.

Lilyvale: your questions answered

Do you work for landlords with property near Westenhanger station?

Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.

Do you cover Lilyvale for regrouting?

Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Lilyvale is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.

Do you hold any approvals?

Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.

Can new sealant go over the old?

No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.

Is the work guaranteed?

Our 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. We’re also fully insured.

Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?

Yes, we often do. The shower normally fails first, so it’s often the only area that needs doing.

Do you work for hotels and businesses?

Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.

How long should I wait before showering?

It varies with the products and the room. We will give you a time to follow at the end of the visit.

Landlord and commercial work in Lilyvale

Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.

We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.

How the visit works

Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Somewhere like Lilyvale needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.

  1. Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
  2. The old grout is removed to an even depth.
  3. The joints are vacuumed clean.
  4. New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
  5. We finish with silicone in the moving joints.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
  • Let us know about parking restrictions

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:

  • Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
  • Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
  • Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
  • Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges

Before we leave, you will know when the shower can be used. Stick to that time, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.

Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward while the tiles are still sound.

What we’re called out for in Lilyvale

A poor original job is a common cause. Grout that was too wet, not packed in or cleaned off too hard can wash out within a few years.

Look out for these signs:

  • Gaps where the shower grout has gone
  • Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
  • A grout colour that no longer suits the room
  • Floor grout that won’t come clean

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.
