Keeping the joints in good condition

No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:

  • Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
  • Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
  • Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
  • Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout

Wipe the tiles down after a shower keeps water off the grout. Ventilate the room well so the grout dries between uses.

Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. Once that happens, regrouting won’t fix it, so it’s worth acting early.

DIY versus a professional finish

A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

What regrouting looks like in Loves Green

Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.

If you live in an older home near St Paul's Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Highwood Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Common problems we fix in Loves Green

When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, so we check the tiles before any work starts.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
  • Grout washed out of a shower
  • Grout in corners that has cracked
  • Grout that makes sound tiles look old

For landlords with property near Ingatestone station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.

Will you come out to Loves Green?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.

Do you do commercial work?

Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. Working times can be discussed when we quote.

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

We can. We will check the other tiled areas as well and let you know if more needs doing.

How long should I wait before showering?

Before we leave, we’ll tell you how long to wait. Both the grout and the silicone need time to cure before they get wet.

What guarantee comes with the work?

What information do you need?

Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.

Where do you work from?

We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Loves Green, along with the rest of our area.

What the job involves on each surface

Corners and edges

Corners flex as the building moves, so we seal them rather than grout them.

Kitchen splashbacks

Grout behind the hob and sink works hard. We renew the grout and the worktop sealant.

When it is not the sealant

In fairness, some problems need a different trade:

  • A floor or wall that keeps moving
  • Cracked or broken tiles
  • A leaking wet room membrane

If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we seal

  • Kitchen splashbacks
  • Tiled floors
  • Shower walls
  • Bathroom floors
  • Bathroom wall tiles
  • Wet rooms

How it works

When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. In a small place like Loves Green, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.

  1. We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
  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. Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.

How to prepare

  • Mention any tricky access
  • Clear items away from the joints we are working on
  • Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
