Little Burstead Regrouting
Professional regrouting in and around Little Burstead, with old sealant always removed completely.
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Good tiles let down by tired grout

Why deal with it now?
Once grout cracks, water can get behind the tiling. Leave it, and the adhesive or the wall behind can suffer, and then you’re looking at retiling. Dealing with it now keeps it small. In a small place like Little Burstead, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
What you get with us
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Every job guaranteed for a year

How we handle regrouting in Little Burstead
Across Little Burstead, we regrout tiled showers, bathrooms and kitchens. The old grout is raked out, the joints cleaned and new grout laid, finished with new silicone at the edges. We’re often asked to deal with floor grout that won’t come clean and grout that’s cracking and breaking up, across tiled floors, bathroom floors and bathroom wall tiles.
In a village or hamlet like Little Burstead, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Little Burstead and across Essex.

Your questions about regrouting in Little Burstead
Is Little Burstead in your area for regrouting?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Little Burstead is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
I let a flat near Billericay station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
Before we leave, we will tell you how long to wait. The grout and sealant both need to cure before the shower is used.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Common problems we fix in Little Burstead
Grout used in corners or along the bath cracks as the bath or tray moves. They need flexible sealant, and when they aren’t, water gets in.

- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner with a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers, as they can break grout down.
Cracked grout does not stay cracked for long. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Little Burstead
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you look after a building such as South Green Junior School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. In the older streets around Church of St Mary, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

What the job involves on each surface

Cracked floor grout can point to movement underneath. We check the tiles before regrouting.
Corners and edges
Where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop, the joint is sealed. Grout in that joint wouldn’t last.
