Regrouting near Lower End

DIY versus a professional finish

A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.

Regrouting in Lower End

We take the old grout out to a consistent depth, without damaging the edges of the tiles. The joints are then vacuumed, regrouted and cleaned off, and the corners get fresh silicone. We work on wet rooms, tiled floors and bathroom floors, and people most often call us about shower grout that has worn away and grout in a colour the owner wants to change.

Somewhere as small as Lower End, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Lower End as everywhere else we work.

Why deal with it now?

Cleaning products may brighten grout for a time, but stains and mould that have soaked in tend to return. New grout, with silicone in the corners, deals with the cause. In a small place like Lower End, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

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 we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Why us?

  • Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
  • Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
  • 4.9 on Google from 180+ five-star reviews
  • More than 20 years in sealant work

Aftercare tips

So the new joints stay in good condition:

  • Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
  • Have loose tiles looked at early
  • Check the corner silicone every few months
  • Give the walls a quick rinse after use

Have any tile that moves checked straight away. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and lets water in.

Stains that won’t clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward while the tiles are still sound.

Do you need regrouting in Lower End?

Hard water and soap leave a film on grout and stick to it. The grout beneath can stain and weaken, and at that point, new grout is the better answer.

It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:

  • Cracked or crumbling grout lines
  • Grout washed out of a shower
  • Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
  • Corners filled with grout instead of silicone

Homes close to Church of St Mary the Virgin include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

What your quote should include

  • Whether they seal over old material or remove it
  • How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
  • What the quote includes, VAT included or not
  • How hidden problems are handled

How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?

The wait depends on the materials and how warm the room is. We will tell you exactly how long when the job is done.

Does someone need to be in?

We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.

What information do you need?

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

Is it OK to seal over old sealant?

No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
