Quotes for regrouting in Locks Heath
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The number and length of the joints
- The product the joint needs
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Helping us quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The type of property
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.
About our regrouting in Locks Heath
We check the tiles before any grout comes out. Loose or hollow tiles are pointed out first, since new grout can’t fix a problem underneath. With sound tiles, regrouting is a tidy, lasting improvement. We work on tiled floors, kitchen splashbacks and bathroom wall tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked or crumbling grout lines and grout washed out of a shower.
Even in a smaller place like Locks Heath, bathrooms and kitchens see heavy daily use. Whether it’s a cottage bathroom or a newer en suite, the approach is the same: old sealant or grout cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. In a smaller place like Locks Heath, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- 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
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Bathrooms and kitchens in Locks Heath
Locks Heath is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale 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 Park Gate Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. Rented homes near Swanwick station change hands often, and clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

What the job involves on each surface
Corners and edges
Internal corners move, so they get silicone, not grout.
Wet rooms
Both the grout and the silicone in a wet room matter. We renew both.
Common problems we fix in Locks Heath
Some grout fails because it was mixed or laid badly. If it was mixed too wet or not pressed in firmly tends to wash out early.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
If you live in an older home near St John, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
Check the corner silicone now and then. Corners flex, so it’s generally the first thing to need attention, long before the grout does.
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.
Common questions in Locks Heath
Do you work for landlords with property near Swanwick station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Locks Heath?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
Loose or hollow tiles are a sign of a problem behind them. Grout on its own will not fix that and we will say so before going ahead.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
We usually do. Fresh grout next to old, mouldy silicone would look odd and wouldn’t keep water out.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
Yes, plenty of people choose to. A darker grout hides marks better, while lighter grout brightens a room.
