The process

On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area from start to finish. Somewhere like Little Laver 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. First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
  2. We remove the old grout carefully.
  3. Dust is cleared from every joint.
  4. The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
  5. Internal corners and edges are resealed.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking restrictions
  • Tell us about any water getting in
  • Mention if the joints have been sealed before

DIY versus a professional finish

A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.

If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

How to look after the new joints

After the cure time, these simple habits help:

  • Use gentle cleaners on grout
  • Rinse the tiles after showering
  • Keep the fan on after showering
  • Use a soft brush rather than a wire one

Give the new grout the time we tell you before using the shower, so it cures fully. After that, rinse the tiles after showering and keep the room ventilated.

Cracked grout does not stay cracked for long. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen, so regrouting early can save a retile.

Your questions about regrouting in Little Laver

Do you cover smaller places like Little Laver?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

Is there a guarantee on regrouting in Little Laver?

All our work, in Little Laver and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.

How long does the job take?

Most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, including preparation and clearing up. We will confirm how long when we quote.

Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?

Yes. Many customers do. A darker grout hides marks better, while lighter grout brightens a room.

Is there any odour?

Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.

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 regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?

Yes. A lot of our jobs are only the shower, or just the joints that have failed.

Can I do it myself?

You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.

Regrouting in Little Laver: local notes

Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.

If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

What affects the quote in Little Laver

For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:

  • Which sealant suits the joint
  • The old material and how stubborn it is
  • Mould in or behind the old joints
  • The size of the job

Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

What we need to know

There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:

  • Any access issues, like height or stairs
  • Pictures of the joints, sent by email
  • The rough size of the job
  • Where the property is

For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work.

Surface by surface

Kitchen splashbacks

Grout behind the hob and sink works hard. We regroute and reseal the worktop joint.

Corners and edges

Internal corners move, so they get silicone, not grout.

Do you need regrouting in Little Laver?

Grout used in corners or along the bath cracks because those joints flex. Those joints should be silicone, and if they’re grouted, a crack soon lets water in.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Cracked or crumbling grout lines
  • Gaps where the shower grout has gone
  • Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
  • Floor grout that won’t come clean

Around Little Laver, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.
