How we handle regrouting in Loughton
Regrouting is normally paired with resealing. Grout is for the joints between tiles, but internal corners and edges flex, so they need flexible silicone instead. Renewing both together means nothing is left half-done. If you’re dealing with grout in a colour the owner wants to change and grout washed out of a shower, we can help, on kitchen splashbacks, bathroom wall tiles and wet rooms alike.
Plenty of homes in a town like Loughton have had new bathrooms and kitchens over the years. A common problem is new sealant laid over old, which never bonds properly, which is why all the old material has to come out first.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use keeps water off the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window to help it dry out.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. At this point it’s a simple regrout while the tiles are still sound.
The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself generally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, depending on the size of the job. In Loughton, parking is rarely complicated, though it helps to know about driveways or restrictions, and let us know if the work is upstairs, in a flat or up high outside.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Loughton questions
What guarantee comes with regrouting in Loughton?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
I let a flat near Chingford station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Normally, yes. The corners and edges should be silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.
What does regrouting cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you change the grout colour?
It can. Because the old grout is raked out, the new colour goes all the way into the joint rather than sitting on top.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
Tiles that have come away need sorting first. We will point them out at the start.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Loughton and across Essex. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
What happens if it’s left?
Cracked grout lets water behind the tiles. Leave it, and the adhesive or the wall behind can suffer, which turns a regrout into a retile. Sorting it early keeps the job simple. Draughts from a gap round a frame, damp under a sill or water behind a bath panel all start small, and early is when they’re cheapest and quickest to sort.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Signs you need regrouting in Loughton
Grout that was put in corners cracks as the bath or tray moves. Those joints should be silicone, and when they are not, water gets in.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
Letting a property close to Chingford station? Then a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

What regrouting looks like in Loughton
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Homes close to St. John's Church include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Alderton Infant 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.
